Chugley Creation for Kids—The earth: “Created to be inhabited” by Jonathan Sarfati and Lita Cosner Published in Creation 43(4):32–35, 2021 The planet we live on is not the biggest, but it’s the most important by far. It is amazingly well designed to support a huge variety of life. Size Eratosthenes worked out the size of the earth 200 years before Christ. He was the head of the famous Library of Alexandria in Egypt. He measured the angles of shadows in two different places on the same day of the year. He already knew the sun cast no shadow during midsummer noon at a place called Syene (Aswan), which was far south of Alexandria. Where he lived, noon midsummer shadows had an angle of about 7°, or about 1⁄50 of a circle, on that day. He realized that the earth must have a circumference 50 times the distance between the cities, which he knew. His result was very close to the modern value of 40,007 km (24,859 miles). Design features Our own planet has many amazing features which no other planets in our solar system have. Here are just a few of them: Right distance. The earth travels around the sun once per year and is always about 150 million km (93 million miles) from the sun. This is just right! Too close and the oceans would boil. Too far and the oceans would freeze. But at the right distance, most water is liquid, just like we need. Right spin. The earth spins once per day (half as fast as the hour hand of a clock!). This means we have the day and night cycle….

NEANDERTALS WEREN’T CAVEMEN

NEANDERTALS WEREN’T CAVEMEN

In this era of planned misinformation, it becomes even more important to understand the true history of mankind. One of the myths promulgated is that Neandertals were subhuman. Lita Sanders of Creation Ministries International recently re-published her article about these early humans. It is believed that many suffered from rickets, a disease causing malformation of bones, giving some a strange appearance. This was caused by lack of nutrition in the only food available soon after Noah’s flood. You really must subscribe to Creation magazine to be properly informed.

Chugley NEANDERTALS WEREN’T CAVEMEN Lita Sanders June 2022 When Neandertals are depicted in museums and media, they are often portrayed as ‘cavemen’. This is because their best-known artifacts are associated with caves. Neandertal caves are rich with evidence that they were intelligent, cultured people. Thus, while at least some Neandertals lived in caves at least some of the time, it shouldn’t surprise us to learn that caves were not the only places Neandertals lived. But it was only in the 1980s that anthropologist Margaret Conkey was the first to consider: what traces did Neandertals leave outside their caves? While at least some Neandertals lived in caves at least some of the time, it shouldn’t surprise us to learn that caves were not the only places Neandertals lived. In 2011 the frame of a dwelling constructed of mammoth bones was discovered in a Ukrainian site rich in Neandertal-type cultural remains.1 And in 2013, Conkey and colleagues found a likely Neandertal open-air habitation site in Peyre Blanque, France.2 Artifacts included hundreds of stone tools, and stone slabs which may have been the base for some form of dwelling! In 2017, Neandertal remains were found along with cultural artifacts of habitation at another open-air site in northern Israel.3 These discoveries give us…

THEISTIC EVOLUTION

THEISTIC EVOLUTION

This rigorous and thorough article from Creation Ministries deals with the fallacy of “theistic evolution”. This is an illogical theory by which some people try to explain how long ages (millions of years) can be harmonised with Biblical Truth. Lita Cosner explains, in simple terms, why the teachings of this new textbook from Biologos cannot be trusted. Beware of this cancer subtly spreading throughout Christianity. make sure you subscribe to Creation Magazine and avoid such traps. https://creation.com/magazines Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Creationist Chimp New textbook teaches non-Christian religion of theistic evolutionism A review of Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins: Cosmology, geology, and biology in Christian perspective by Robert C. Bishop, Larry L. Funck, Raymond J. Lewis, Stephen O. Mosher, and John H. WaltonIVP Academic, Downers Grove, IL, 2018 reviewed by Lita Cosner It is common for Bible colleges and seminaries to have special science classes for religion majors with names like “Christianity and science”. They cover scientific topics (e.g. origins) that are of interest to students who plan on specializing in theological study or pastoral ministry. Five Wheaton College faculty have teamed up to produce their own textbook geared toward this type of class. Out of the five, readers are most likely to be familiar with John Walton, Professor of Old Testament, and the author of many books that Journal of Creation has reviewed previously.1 The back leaf of the textbook promotes “BioLogos books on science and Christianity”. Anyone familiar with our previous refutations of BioLogos, and the various authors associated with them, will be familiar with our claim that their particular brand of theistic evolutionism amounts to evolutionary syncretism.2 We’ve even made the blunt statement that “It’s not Christianity”.3 Expectedly, Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins promotes billions of years and evolutionary views of the origin of the earth and universe, the ancestry of humans, and the origin of…
