The European Union and the Book of Genesis

In December 2011 David Cameron broke ranks with the European Union and as a result was cheered by many people in Britain. Others were not so pleased, accusing him of having weakened the nation's influence on the continent. Amongst Bible-believing Christians, some almost certainly criticised him, but perhaps more would see the potential demise of the EU as something to be welcomed, the majority citing passages from the Book of Revelation as the justification for their Euro-scepticism. This article considers why Christians need to grasp the relevance of the early chapters of Genesis to the EU and similar organisations, in order to have a good understanding of global political trends.

If God is all powerful, why doesn’t He just forgive people?

Earlier this year on Revelation TV, Richard Dawkins described the death of Christ as “hideous and demeaning”. A few weeks later on BBC 1 he referred to the same event in this way, “Is that not the most disgusting idea you have ever heard?” This article answers Dawkins arrogance, pointing out that atheism has no means of supplying justice for those who have been wronged.

Life and Death Questions

The New Testament states that death is the result of sin, but we so easily make today the measure of the past and assume that carnivores have always existed and insects have always been walked on. In this Creation Research Information Sheet, we look at the questions raised by this Biblical truth and how the answers contribute to an understanding of a world which was created very good, but is no longer so. Originally circulated with our November 2010 UK Update.

The Descent of a Man

It is becoming increasingly common for Christians who want to embrace evolution to accuse atheists like Dawkins of hijacking Darwin for their own ends. Such people like to portray Darwin as a honest man who was confused by his daughter's suffering. At the end of 2009, which was Darwin's double anniversary year, a Creation Research Evidence News email update featured a collection of statements by Darwin and his friend Charles Lyell, which highlighted their joint objective of undermining Christianity in Britain. This is such an important summary of Darwin's views that we circulated a printed version with our UK Update in May 2010 and it is that version which is found here.

What type of God would choose to use evolution?

The media very much made 2009 'Darwin's year' with its double celebration of his birthday and the publication of his book. Evangelicals who seek to shape the Bible to fit Darwin's theory were also hard at work publishing books and speaking at events. This article asks important questions of those who insist the God of the Bible did not create the universe in six days through The Word, but used millions of years of death, sickness and violence.

New Film "Creation" Is Not Actually About Creation

A film called "Creation" and which is being promoted by a Christian organisation, actually promotes evolution. This page provides a review, by John Peet of the Biblical Creation Society, of this film which was released in September 2009.

Hallmarks of the Creator

Atheists, especially those who frequent the media, regularly claim that there is no evidence for God. However, do they know what criteria evidence for God would have to meet to satisfy them? This article looks at what the design of the universe tells us, not so much about the absolute necessity for a designer, but about their nature and power. It also considers the consequences of their creation being handed over to people who wanted to run the world their way not God's!

The Media, Intelligent Design and Biblical Creation

In 2005 & 2006 the British media began to focus its attacks on the Intelligent Design movement as well as creationism in general. This article reviews some of those attacks and examines the differences between Biblical creation, ID and alternative creation accounts.

From Creation to Calvary

One of the saddest facts about the debate over creation and evolution is that it has not just to be argued with non-Christians. In the UK the evangelical church considers itself to be "Bible believing" but a large percentage of its leadership, perhaps the majority, choose to argue against the historical accuracy of the Biblical account of the origin of human life and the whole universe. This articles highlights what else is being sacrificed in order to gain acceptance by a secular society.

Did You See, Noah's Ark?

When the BBC broadcast this programme presented by Jeremy Bowen our phones began to ring. This short review looks at the content of the programme and the poor quality of research and biased comments which ran through it. Whilst the programme may now be no longer relevant, the misguiding techniques used in its production are still in use.
