Secular scientists are slowly moving away from the idea that the vast quantities of water found on Earth arrived here by asteroid and comet impacts over billions of years. There isn’t enough time for that to have occurred, even in their enormous timescales, and they are realizing it. This reasoning has led them to also believe that the quantities of water we are finding on the Moon did not accumulate in this way either.
A new, secular hypothesis has been proposed to account for the quantities of water we are finding on the Moon: “The Moon May Have Been Covertly Siphoning Earth’s Water For Billions of Years”.1 Using the same, vast eons of time available to their worldview – unprovable, but presented as fact – our Moon supposedly acquired the water by picking up hydrogen and oxygen ions from the Earth’s magnetosphere, which it passes through for five days every lunar month.
We can appreciate the author’s use of the words “May Have” in his title – since he allows for the alternative that it “may not have” – though other outlets, such as The Weather Channel, reported this far-fetched suggestion as proven science. Be sure to ask your friends who buy into this suggestion the following question: “How do you then account for the water that is found chemically bound up in rocks that derive from deep inside the interior of the moon, which must have been there when the moon was formed?”.2
Our solar system is turning out to be a very wet place, with water found on extraterrestrial surfaces and the interiors of planets, moons, comets, and asteroids. Secular scientists are abandoning their former theories of formation and scratching their heads. Creation scientists have known all along that the Earth and the heavens had a watery beginning (see Genesis 1), and predictions of creation scientists are increasingly confirmed by advancing scientific discoveries.
We’ve all been asked the question. “Why does God allow evil in the world?” But there is another side to that question, a query that cannot be addressed by logic, history, or facts. It’s the heart behind the question, often a bruised heart deeply wounded by evil, loss, or betrayal.
We pay tribute to one of the fathers of the modern Creation movement. Here is a look at his life, influences, and how he contributed to the battle for Genesis.
We’ve seen a lot of popularity growth in the Flat Earth Theory, and its proponents try to tie themselves to Creationism. Here is a Christian response to these efforts.
In the previous month of Creation Matters, we examined answers to the question “How do we know Genesis (and for that matter the entire Old Testament) has been accurately preserved to our time?” In this article, we will unpack a very, very brief overview of the scientific and scholarly side of this question, touching on early manuscripts, scribal practice, and ancient witnesses to the O.T. text.
