  • TCA Lesson 011: Why Creationists Should Be EXCITED About New Mainstream Discoveries

    “Doom and gloom” creationism is out; the New Creationism is in! For so long, creationists have been known more for what we are against, rather than what we are for. This should change! Look–we all realize the bankruptcy of evolution theory. And, that is something we should talk about. But let’s work towards establishing new theories! Let’s make models that work. To quote one creation scientist, “let’s go explore!”

    In this lesson, you’ll learn:

    1. How the winds of change are blowing among the creation community.
    2. The real source of our faith.
    3. Why science should not be considered an authority.
    4. The main reason why science and creation are so exciting.

      • TCA Lesson 010: Flood Myths and Dates vs. the Biblical Account

        When you think of the Biblical Flood account, have you ever wondered if there is cultural evidence for such a deluge outside of the Bible? As it turns out, there are over 500 flood myths and legends worldwide! We’re going to look at the similarities, differences, and attempt to resolve some “problems” as it relates to the Bible’s account of history. This is a fascinating lesson with some, hopefully, helpful insight. Hope you enjoy!

        In this lesson, you’ll learn:

        1. Why the Bible’s dates should be considered over scientific dating methods.
        2. How many of the worlds flood myths are consistent with what we find in Scripture.
        3. Why natural explanations for these flood accounts just don’t hold water (pun intended).
        4. The solid evidence that proves the Biblical account to be correct (and most accurate).

          • TCA Lesson 009: Can the Flood Explain the Geologic Column?

            The geologic column is often cited as fool-proof evidence for evolution. In fact, it is so good and so well-explains the naturalistic assumptions that we would almost have it to concede if we could not explain this from a Biblical worldview. Of course, we know of a major catastrophe which took place in Earth’s past–the great flood of Noah’s day. Could this be the explanation we need?

            In this lesson, you’ll learn:

            1. A basic understanding of how we got the geologic column.
            2. Why the column is not able to be scientifically dated.
            3. The most logical explanation for geologic column.
            4. The inherent danger of adding millions of years into God’s Word.

              • TCA Lesson 008: Basic Flood Sedimentology

                The flood of Noah’s day is much more than a fairy tale. We believe this describes a real event that happened as part of earth’s past. If that’s true, we should find evidence in the rock formations found around the world that indicates rapid, catastrophic moving of water, volcanic activity, and other such evidence that would be better explained by catastrophe rather than gradual movement. And, this is exactly what we find.

                In this lesson, you’ll learn:

                1. The Bible’s description of a mass extinction event by water.
                2. Strange anomalies in the strata indicate a rapid process–not a gradual one.
                3. The widely accepted scientific model that explains how this process happened.

                  • TCA Lesson 007: Do Darwin’s Famous Finches Prove Evolution?

                    It is quite notable that the notion of Darwinian Evolution has survived as long as it has considering the lack of observable evidence. Yet, it is the reigning scientific dogma of our day! How is this possible? Could Darwin’s famous finches really prove evolution after all? We’re tackling that this week as part of our series, The Basics of Creation Science.

                    In this lesson, you’ll learn:

                    1. The iconic role of Darwin’s finches on our society.
                    2. The one major language barrier between worldviews.
                    3. How so-called Microevolution is NOT the same as Macroevolution.
                    4. Why our eyes betray what scientists say.

                      • Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

                      • TCA Lesson 006: Why the Age of the Earth is Paramount to a Correct Theology

                        I find it alarming how many evangelicals are willing to mess with the integrity of Scripture concerning the doctrine of creation. Those who have left (or have never affirmed) the young-age position simply dismiss it–saying it is not important. We disagree! But don’t take our word for it. The Bible is clear–a young earth is essential to a correct theology.

                        In this lesson, you’ll learn:

                        1. Why the Old and New Testament depend upon a recent creation.
                        2. Why a correct theology is important.
                        3. Why construing the age of the earth is not helpful to the gospel, but harmful.

                          4. Mentioned in this lesson:

                          • Does the Age of the Earth Matter, or is it a Secondary Doctrine?
                          • Does the Punishment for Original Sin Fit the Crime?

                          • TCA Lesson 005: The Bible and Young Earth Creationism

                            Before we can look to science for evidence of a young earth, we must first have a clear understanding of the Biblical teaching. Science and methodologies change over time, but God’s Word never changes! Therefore, we anchor our beliefs on the Word of the One who not only was there–but created everything Himself!

                            In this lesson, you’ll learn:

                            1. Why “day” really means a “day.”
                            2. How to reconcile discrepancies in the Genesis 1 account.
                            3. Why the young earth is crucial for NT teaching.
                            4. The final nail in the coffin–God’s purpose for creation week.

                              5. Mentioned in this lesson:

                              • Answers in Genesis
                              • Why Didn’t God Give the Light Source for Creation Days 1-3?

                                While you may believe in and even have a Biblical understanding of the Creation Science position, have you ever really considered it scientifically? That’s what we’re doing in this series! We’re going to explore a variety of topics in 10 short lessons to give us a better understanding of Creation from a scientific perspective.

                                In this lesson, you’ll learn:

                                  2. Mentioned in this lesson:

                                    1. Why the Bible can be trusted on matters on Creation.
                                    2. The failure of naturalism to the explain the world around us.
                                    3. How Biblical creation is the ONLY explanation that even makes logical sense.
                                    4. Why Jesus Christ Himself believed in a literal, 6-day Creation.
