The Bible teaches that the Earth and its climate were designed by God for our benefit. There are several remarkable things about our planet that make it habitable for human beings including the Earth’s mass, distance from sun, axial tilt, atmosphere, magnetic field, rotational speed, orbital shape, and the presence of a large moon. Our solar system possesses a unique and special star and has a gas giant like Jupiter with a larger orbit. Even the location of our solar system in the Milky Way galaxy is special. Many of the aforementioned properties of the Earth and solar system make Earth’s climate suitable for us. The habitability of the Earth requires that liquid water be present because all biochemistry requires water.

Abstract

The measuring of the human skull, called craniometry, was exploited in the last century to prove that women had smaller brains compared to men in an attempt to support the notion that they were less-evolved than men. As a result, women were also believed to be less intelligent and inferior to men in other ways. This view, inspired by Charles Darwin, was widely accepted in academia, including by many of Darwin’s leading disciples. It also had a profound negative effect on women’s progress, especially educationally, socially, and economically.

Is Answers in Genesis Going the Way of the International Conference on Creationism?

Many false myths exist about the creation worldview that creationists have attempted to overcome. Unfortunately, myths die hard, if they die at all. One of the most widely believed false myths is that the Church taught that the world was flat, which caused the Catholic Columbus to fear that he would fall off of the Earth’s edge if he sailed too far West. In fact, Columbus knew the earth was not flat and even estimated the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan was 2,800 miles. He turned out to be wrong about this fact. We know that it was actually closer to 14,000 miles. On his way to the East, Columbus bumped into America, which he thought was India, thus he called the people there Indians, the name that stuck.
