America: The Solution

defending-faith-imgLast time Mike Riddle was in talking about the problem with America. Today Mike offers a solution. It’s no less than repenting and returning to Jesus. America has given into atheism and moral relativism. However, God is alive and active and is looking for those who will call on His name.

America: The Problem

defending-faith-imgMike Riddle is in and talking about America. Mike is talking about America’s foundation, history and it’s present troubles. What can we derive about the foundation of America by looking at the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? How has America stood by its convictions in a creator God? How has America given up its conviction to God and a higher moral law?

We do find that there our four foundational truths that our founding fathers believed: 1. There is a Creator God, 2. All Men are created equal, 3. There are rights that are given to all men by God, 4. The Government’s purpose is to preserve and protect those rights that are given to us by God.

Heinz Lycklama: Creation vs. Evolution – Pt 2

defending-faith-imgMike Riddle is in with Dr. Heinz Lycklama, who is physicist turned apologist, talking about TRUE science. Evolution is really a pseudo-science. Science is based on observable, repeatable science which is rarely existent in Evolutionary Science.

Challenged in his Christian faith by what he was taught in university in the 1960’s, Dr. Lycklama has always maintained an active interest in the Creation v. Evolution controversy. As his children reached school age and began to ask questions about what they were taught in school, he became more involved in researching the topic of Creation v. Evolution.

Heinz and Mike are discussing Evolution, Information, Creation and many more topics on today’s show.

Dr. Heinz Lycklama earned a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics (1965) and a Ph. D. degree in experimental Nuclear Physics (1969) from McMaster University in Canada. Since then he has worked in the telecommunications and computer software industries at Bell Telephone Laboratories in NJ and at Interactive Systems Corporation in CA – as an individual contributor and in management positions. In 2013 Heinz founded the Apologetics Forum to help equip believers in the defense of The Faith.

Carbon 14 Dating – Pt 2

defending-faith-imgToday’s topic is a semi-technical topic – Carbon 14 Dating. Today’s program is part 2 of the Carbon 14 discussion – for Part 1 Click Here. Scientists use a technique called Radiometric Dating to estimate the age of rocks and fossils. Carbon 14 is not used to date rocks as millions of years old but is generally used date once living things or Organic matter.

Review:

1. Carbon 14 is an atom that has 6 protons and 8 Neutrons. All Carbon atoms have 6 protons.
3. Carbon 14 is found in once living things and not in most rocks. Therefore Carbon 14 can only be used to date once living things not rocks.
4. Carbon 14 is Unstable. It radioactively decays into Nitrogen 14.
5. We measure how long it takes to decay in terms of half-lifes and we estimate the half-life of Carbon 14 to be 5730 years.
6. The Maximum dating range we could date anything using Carbon 14 is about 80,000 years.

Now in today’s episode Mike is talking about how the dating process actual works and how reliable is the dating method.

Carbon 14 Dating – Pt1

defending-faith-imgOur topic for today is a semi-technical topic – Carbon 14 Dating. Scientists use a technique called Radiometric Dating to estimate the age of rocks and fossils. In this episode Mike is going to focus on one form of Radiometric Dating called Carbon 14. Sometimes it referred to as Radio Carbon or C14. Carbon 14 is not used to date rocks as millions of years old but is generally used date once living things or Organic matter.

For today’s program Mike is breaking the show into 3 parts – “What is carbon 14?”, “Where does it come from?” and “How can it be used to determine age?”.

Critical Thinking Skills and Evolution

defending-faith-img2 Corinthians 10:4-5 states, “4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,”. We need to equip ourselves with the knowledge and skills to defend all attacks against God’s Word. 1 Peter 3:15 also tells us that we need to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is within us. So we need to bring down the strongholds of Evolutionism and train our Children to do the Same.

One of the methods for doing this is applying what Mike calls Critical Thinking Skills. Critically Thinking is the method of skillfully analyzing and evaluating arguments. It’s learning how to detect errors and fallacies in someone’s argument.

Today Mike is talking about Critical Thinking and Evolution and revealing some of the common tactics that teachers of Evolution use.

Understanding the Gospel

defending-faith-imgFew churches present the full Gospel message. Instead, we might hear things like:

  • Just preach Jesus
  • Jesus is Lord
  • All you need is Jesus
  • Love one another is what matters
  • Just believe in Jesus.

These are all good, but they are not the Gospel. In this talk, Mike presents the full Gospel which starts in the book of Genesis.

Handling Objections to Literal Creation Days (part 2 of 2)

defending-faith-imgIn part 2 of handling objections, Mike gives a thorough analysis of the following arguments and why each fails as a valid explanation for adding long ages into the Bible.

  • Plant death before sin
  • Genesis 2:4 and the word “day”
  • The Hebrew language is poetic and therefore Genesis 1 should not be taken literally.
