  3. Doubts about design and the resurrection… Creation Ministries responds to this sincere doubter: I used to have no problem believing Genesis but have started to disbelieve after looking into evolution, first there was a video I watched of Dawkins. The dilemma I have is that I can’t reconcile Genesis saying we didn’t evolve when you see photos of our ancestors like Homo erectus and of Neanderthals as to me they seem to be so subhuman.

  13. Gold deposits formed by the global Flood – A saying harking back to Americas gold rush days, and made famous by cartoon character Yosemite Sam, is, There’s gold in them thar hills! Yes, but how did it get there, when, and how quickly? Research in recent decades has increasingly suggested that the term gold rush applies as much to the fast formation of gold deposits as it does to treasure seekers hastily staking their claim.1 The evidence implies that Noah’s Flood, not millions of years, was responsible for forming some of the richest veins known.: https://creation.com/gold-deposits-formed-by-the-global-flood
  14. Wild Dogs of Australia Creation Moments – Most mammals in Australia are marsupials. That is one of the things that makes Australia so special to those of us elsewhere in the world who may never have been there. Think of Australia, and most of us think of kangaroos, koalas, and wombats. Placentals, like rats and rabbits, are normally pests, introduced in colonial times. Yet, there is one placental mammal that is associated with Australia, as a typical wild animal. That is the wild dog known as the dingo.: https://creationmoments.com/sermons/wild-dogs-of-australia/

When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him. John 11:32-45

Blessings to you all
