When we look at the concept of worldview, the problem of redefinition is rampant. Even terms like "Christian" and "atheist" are misunderstood. In this lesson, we'll tackle these terms and more and try to get an accurate understanding. In this lesson, you’ll learn: Why...
TCA Lesson 042: Evolution, Kinds, and Species (Goal Posts–Part 3)
Please be advised that in this lesson, I erroneously confused intrabaraminic diversification with interbaraminic diversification. Intrabaraminic diversification has to do with the diversification of species within a created kind. Interbaraminic diversification has to...
TCA Lesson 041: What on Earth is Science? (Goal Posts–Part 2)
One of the most misunderstood and incorrectly used words in the origins debate today is none other than science. What does it really mean, and what other definitions get incorrectly lumped in with it? That’s the sole subject matter of today’s lesson. In this lesson,...
TCA Lesson 040: Stop Shifting the Goal Posts! (Part 1)
"It's just semantics!", right? How we communicate with one another is vitally important. It has everything to do with our Christian witness, and also, our ability to get the ear of those we have important conversations with. Evolutionists, creationists, etc. need to...
TCA Lesson 039: The Case for Cosmological Redshifts
In a recent paper, Dr. Danny Faulkner has made the case for cosmological redshifts. While many young age creationists have argued that redshift (with respect to quasars, especially) can be reduced to Doppler phenomena, Faulkner believes this contention to be in error...

TCA Lesson 036: Creation and Predation—What Does the Bible Teach?
In the biblical account of earth history, an important distinction is made about the initial state of the creation. In fact, the Christian answer to death, pain, suffering, and objective evil in the world hinges on this important distinction. This week and next, we'll...
TCA Lesson 035: A Universe From Nothing?
In an attempt to explain the universe without God, Dr. Lawrence Krauss and others have argued that, indeed, the universe came into existence on its own--yes, a universe from nothing! Does this theory hold up? In this lesson, you’ll learn: The actual definition of...
TCA Lesson 034: Is Young Age Creationism Pseudoscience? (Part 2)
Last week, we began looking at why young age creationism ought not to be considered a pseudoscientific discipline. We dealt with dinosaurs and the deluge (flood). This week, we look at the topics of dating and Darwin. What does it mean to be pseudoscientific, anyway?...
