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 038: Scripture, Sin, and Defending Christianity

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?...
TCA Lesson 033: Is Young Age Creationism Pseudoscience? (Part 1)
Often, recent creationists endure ridicule from both the secular and Christian communities. Terms like "pseudoscience" are thrown around usually without regard for a proper understanding of the view, and our conclusions are rejected a priori. Is this criticism...
