TCA Lesson 025: Human Ancestry: The Fossil Evidence (BOH Series)
Perhaps no argument against the biblical origin of humanity is used as often as fossil evidence. We are told that the fossils conclusively support the evolutionary story of humanity. But is this the reality? What are the facts surrounding the fossil evidence? That’s...
Quick Response: Stand to Reason on Distant Starlight
In July of 1998, Greg Koukl of the Christian apologetics organization Stand to Reason posted a Solid Ground publication titled Star Light & the Age of the Universe. On a recent episode of the organization’s bi-weekly podcast, a caller referenced the 1998 article...
TCA Lesson 024: Creation Q&A and an Exciting Announcement
This week's lesson takes a break from our current series, the Biblical Origin of Humanity. I begin with some commentary on Theistic Evolutionism, and then answer a couple creation questions. We finish off with a very, very special announcement about a project I've...
If the Earth is Young, Why Does it Look Old?
For nearly 1800 years, the majority position held within the Church has been that of young-age creation—or, the teaching that our Earth and even the universe is just over 6,000 years old and was created in just six ordinary days. Some claim that this teaching began...

TCA Lesson 021: Placing Adam in Humanity’s History (BOH Series)
In the evolutionary timescale, humanity came on the scene about 100,000 to 400,000 years ago, depending on who you ask. But the Bible seems to record an entirely different chronology. Is there any evidence—biblical or otherwise—that mankind is only around 6,000 years...

I'm sure you're wondering why, on a Christian Apologetics blog, you are reading a post about Steve Urkel. No worries--I find myself wondering why I am writing it, even as I type the words! That said, my family and I have been re-watching the hit 90's show Family...
