God spoke the cosmos into existence.God spoke the cosmos into existence.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

The CreationThe Creation
Created To Be StudiedCreated To Be Studied The Earth is the perfect distance from the sun Our moon is just the right size and distance
from Earth. Our moon’s gravity stabilizes the Earth’s
rotation. Our position in our galaxy is just so. Our sun is its precise mass and composition. Our atmosphere is clear allowing investigation
of the cosmos.
All of these factors (and many more), are not only necessary for Earth’s habitability; they also have been surprisingly crucial for scientists to measure and make discoveries about the universe.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being.

Facts do not speak for themselves, but must be interpreted according to a framework. The leading evolutionists are biased towards naturalism, to the extent that many are outspoken atheists. This is especially true of the National Academy of Science, the producers of Teaching about Evolution.

A Response to the NAS’ book
Teaching About Evolution
and the Nature of Science
by Jonathan Sarfati
Perhaps an even more pervasive theme in this booklet is how the NAS sees the nature of doing science. "Science differs from religion because it is the nature of science to test and retest explanations against the natural world". Science relies solely on naturalistic explanations and thus excludes so-called creation science and intelligent-design concepts. Popperian falsification is affirmed as the norm for science and as satisfied for the theory of evolution. Indeed, the booklet stresses, scientists use the word "theory" so rigorously that when applied to the occurrence of evolution it means fact. Throughout this booklet, science is presented as a cumulative enterprise leading progressively to better understanding of nature and its uses-an enterprise that students can one day participate in if only their teachers show them the way. These teachers should be evangelists for science. This booklet offers encouragement and tools for that missionary activity.

Publisher Description
While the mechanisms of evolution are still under investigation, scientists universally accept that the cosmos, our planet, and life evolved and continue to evolve. Yet the teaching of evolution to schoolchildren is still contentious.
In Science and Creationism, The National Academy of Sciences states unequivocally that creationism has no place in any science curriculum at any level.
Briefly and clearly, this booklet explores the nature of science, reviews the evidence for the origin of the universe and earth, and explains the current scientific understanding of biological evolution. This edition includes new insights from astronomy and molecular biology.
Attractive in presentation and authoritative in content, Science and Creationism will be useful to anyone concerned about America's scientific literacy: education policymakers, school boards and administrators, curriculum designers, librarians, teachers, parents, and students.

First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning." They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water, through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

Matthew 25:14-30 "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. "After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.' "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!‘ "The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.'

"Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. " 'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
