Advanced Studies

The information provided on this page is not for study of the Bible, but deals with topics relevant to our understanding of the Bible.

The truths taught in the Bible are under attack.  The Big Bang Theory, Evolution, etc. are taught as established fact that should not be questioned in many schools and universities. This page provides information that shows these theories are based on false assumptions, bad science, and less than objective thinking on the part of many scientists.

The contents included here are scholarly articles and books written by scientists that don't necessarily profess to be Christians, but honest examination of the evidence has led them to conclusions held by believers.  While we don't endorse everything contained in this material, we hope you will see that there are sound scientific reasons to reject much of what the world would have us believe.

Evolution

Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth by Dr. Jonathon Wells

Picture
Jonathon Wells holds a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley and a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Yale.  This book exposes some of the most famous "evidence" for evolution as exaggerated claims, rejected theories, and in many cases just bad science.

A DVD of this book is also available.

Darwin's Black Box by Dr. Michael J. Behe

Picture
Michael Behe holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania.  In this book he examines many of the claims of evolution and shows that the complex systems seen in biochemical systems could not have evolved from simpler organisms.

This author also has a DVD entitled "Unlocking the Mysteries of Life".

Signature in the Cell by Dr. Stephen Meyer

Picture
Stephen Meyer holds a Ph.D. in History and Philosophy of Science from Cambridge University.  In this book he presents a case for design based on the information found in DNA, showing that so much useful information (packed more tightly than any computer hard-drive man can make) could not simply come about by accident.

This author also has a DVD entitled "Darwin's Dilema".

Creation

The Privileged Planet by Dr. Guillermo Gonzales and Dr. Jay Richards

Picture
Dr. Gonzales received his Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of Washington while Dr. Richards received his Ph.D. with honors from Princeton Theological Seminary in Philosophy and Theology.  In this book they examine astronomical evidence and argue that the order seen in nature is too complex to be accidental.

A DVD of this book is also available.

Archeology

Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest by David Rohl

Picture
David Rohl holds a degree in Ancient History and Egyptology from the University of London.  In this book he presents evidence that supports the dates and times mentioned in the Bible as being accurate, a position many archeologists dispute. He shows that the errors are due to a misinterpretation of available data, leading to an incorrect chronology for Biblical events.

Material in this book also appeared in a BBC series called "A Test of Time".
