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?...
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...
TCA Lesson 032: A Historical Adam and the Authority of Scripture (BOH Series)
We’ve seen throughout this series that the Bible has significant things to say about the origin of humanity. In this final lesson of the series, we look at what factors have undermined the authority and perspicuity of Scripture, and what we can and should do about it...
TCA Lesson 031: Uncovering Our Shared World History (BOH Series)
While the evolutionary history of mankind would suggest that we are related only by a common ancestor, the biblical view suggests that not only are we intelligently designed, but also united by a shared world history. What does that history look like, and what can it...

If the evolutionary story is true, we should expect to find a very different history of humanity than the one we actually observe. The truth is, there are many ancient marvels that our engineers and scientists have difficulty reproducing today! Does the Christian...
TCA Lesson 029: Darwin and Favored Races: The Loss of Humanity in our Culture (BOH Series)
What does the world look like when its leaders and key influencers hold to evolutionary ideas? In the so-called "struggle for life," only the strongest survive. Is this teaching consistent with the idea that "all lives matter," we should "care for our fellow man," and...
TCA Lesson 028: Does Believing in Billions of Years and/or Evolution Affect Someone’s Salvation?
Can one to go heaven and believe in evolution/billions of years? This week, I analyze a recent debate which proposed that question. The Bible seems pretty clear as to the requirements for a soul to be saved. But perhaps there’s more to it? Listen this week to find out...
TCA Lesson 027: The Anatomy of the Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (BOH Series)
In the conventional history of mankind, we share a distant common ancestor with other hominids--namely, apes. But does this hold up from an anatomical perspective? Or is there is good evidence of a distinct difference in design? Dr. Stuart Burgess seems to think so....
