It is not commonly known that many of the Bible’s statements about astronomy went against the generally accepted teachings of the time. Modern science, however, has confirmed what the Bible has taught. As in all things, the Bible is absolutely correct when it teaches about the universe.
Some professing Christians accept the claim that God used naturalistic processes, including the big bang, to create the universe. Unfortunately, such views deny what the Creator Himself has said about the creation of the universe.
There are many problems with the naturalistic explanations of the formation of our solar system. Because the naturalistic ideas are not based on the foundation of God’s perfect Word, they fall short. Will you trust God’s Word or man’s reasoning when it comes to the formation of the solar system?
Creationists have good models accounting for why we see distant starlight so "soon" after creation—models that avoid problematic atheistic assumptions (e.g., the Copernican principle) and explain the divine origin of the cosmos.
Christians should uphold the highest standards of excellence in their science, questioning all quirky claims and avoiding hasty conclusions, such as the examples described in this article.
Scientists often proclaim that they have "proved" that the universe is billions of years old, but does the observational science support this assertion?
Science fiction has popularized the idea that—somewhere in space—ETs, aliens, and UFOs thrive. Do the Bible and the evidence support this notion?
What are black holes, and are they real? How can we observe them if their gravity is so strong that not even light can escape?
Astronomers are constantly discovering extrasolar planets orbiting distant stars. Are these mysterious bodies other earths with the potential to contain life?
Contrary to common misconception, the medieval church did not teach that the earth was flat, and there are many ways we know that the earth is spherical.
Will life be found inhabiting the rocky, desert-like surface of the Red Planet, our nearest celestial neighbor, Mars?
What does our solar system, with its planets, moons, and asteroids, reveal about the origin, age, and incredible diversity of the universe?
There are an estimated 200 billion galaxies in our universe, and this new study surveyed 263 of them to determine the direction that the galaxies rotate.
These stars don’t exist—and that’s a problem for evolution.
Each moon’s spectacular features point to the workmanship of God.
What do they tell us about the age of the earth and moon?
Comet Tsuchinshan is evidence for a young solar system.
Did the Bible simply borrow its view of the universe from ancient pagan religions?
ET isn’t a mystery if you’re willing to examine the data from 60 years of research and take it to its logical conclusion.
It’s hard to believe that the total solar eclipse was six months ago. Since then, I’ve watched the sun pass through full phase back to new phase (the only time a solar eclipse can happen) six times.
Neptune’s discovery was a triumph of operational science
The purpose of this book is to give you a starting point in understanding rocket science from a biblical perspective and how to defend your faith in a currently secular space industry.
Why it’s important for Christians to reject the moon landing conspiracy theory.
Reporting on the April 8 total eclipse
Evolutionists believe that about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized planet, called Theia, collided with the earth.
Since becoming fully operational in 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been collecting some of the most breathtaking images of the heavens ever seen.
Our Creator justly deserves credit, praise, and worship for making the heavens a place of beauty and wonder-upon-wonder as well as loving, life-giving power.
Flat-earthers assert since no meteors have ever appeared to move upward, the conventional explanation for them must be wrong. Let us examine these two claims.
The James Webb Space Telescope shows that exoplanets like Smertrios are very different from our earth and solar system.
The Cassini-Huygens mission vastly improved our understanding of Saturn. The space probe Cassini’s most amazing discovery was the clear testimony to Saturn’s young age and that it had a Creator.
Starting with a Biblical worldview, Christians can see how scripture defines our role in exploring the cosmos.
Most evolutionary astronomers talk about the Oort cloud like it’s a fact. Yet they admit no direct observational evidence exists.
The Bible reveals that creation was about 6,000 years ago, so how can we see stars that are millions of light-years away?
How should creationists interpret the images from the farthest galaxies yet?
How should creationists view the recent study that calls into question whether dark matter exists?
A biblical overview for why our week is only seven days, how the secular world explains it, and the benefits we enjoy from God’s ordained work-rest weekly pattern
Is rocket science purely secular, and should we just leave the Bible out of it? Obviously not.
How believers in biblical creation started rocket science in the twentieth century and the study’s continued dependence upon the orderly construction of the universe by God
The expected benefits from the new NASA telescope, the naturalistic assumptions integrated into its mission, and the only way to make sense of scientific investigation: God.
It’s a wet solar system. Is it also dripping with life?
We at Answers in Genesis have always maintained that the big bang model is incompatible with Scripture.
The star Betelgeuse drastically faded in 2019, but now it’s back to its normal, bright self—what does that mean for stellar evolution or creation?
An overview of the light travel time problem, how different biblical creationists have addressed it, and the dasha solution to the problem
The black swan photo and other similar images are used to commit the informal fallacy of cherry-picking data.
How flat earthers cannot accurately account for the December solstice or other celestial phenomena with their zetetic model of the earth.
Hopefully, 2021 will see the demise of COVID-19 and the many restrictions prompted by concerns about its spread, and so perhaps we soon can get back to normal.
An explanation of the December solstice, an overview of its celebration in pagan cultures, and a potential Christmas Star on December 21.
The very inaccurate manner with which flat-earthers handle the Coriolis effect and the Foucault pendulum is typical of those in the flat-earth movement.
Using a modified Boeing 747 equipped with infrared instruments, NASA discovered small amounts of water on the moon. What does that mean for biblical creation?
Astronomers have attempted to identify exoplanets likely to support life though their efforts have generated scant results so far.
Another SSSB (asteroid or comet) discovery suggests the existence of the Oort cloud or Kuiper belt . . . or does it?
Does the Bible teach or demand geocentrism? Hardly. Does good science indicate that the earth is motionless? Certainly not. Then why do some Christians believe otherwise?
Like geocentrists of old, modern geocentrists are divided as to whether the earth rotates, but they are united in belief that the earth does not revolve.
Greek philosopher Heraclitus was one of the first promoters of an eternal universe, which found its way into Christian theology. The Bible tells a different story.
There has been discussion whether Pluto once had or perhaps still does have a subsurface layer of liquid water. Why would Pluto have water?
This is an introduction to, and announcement of, a new compilation of articles, papers and letters to the editor on creationist astronomy which has been placed on this journal’s website. An explanation of the selection criteria is given.
