Daily Photo: Bison You know you are out in the wild when the bison can freely roam through your campground. Amazing creatures made to handle the heat and struggles of the dry prairie plains. #creation #camping

Ring Species - is a hundred years old evolutionary concept that has zero known (proven) examples. It is another failure of scientific predictions made by evolution. #creation #evolution

Daily Photo: Stump of a Fern Tree Before the flood many plants and animals grew to gigantic sizes. Today, we still have 'fern trees' that can grow many dozens of feet tall ... and do not have woody tissue like true trees. There are so many fascinating things to see in His creation. #creationism

Beliefs of Creationism Creationism is the belief that the entire universe and all of life were created in a special act by a Creator. This is based on the concepts contained within Scripture with an emphasis on the Genesis account of a seven day act of creation. It states that the creation was originally made in a good condition and that over time it is deteriorating and getting worse due to the fall of man and the action of sin. Understanding creationism helps us to not only define life from a scriptural perspective, but to also know what is helpful or harmful to life. The created kinds are defined as the plants and animals that were spoken into existence by the Creator. The concept of created kind is based on the biblical account of creation as found in the book of Genesis. Although common design elements may exist, each created kind is uniquely made and separate from the other kinds. They are designed to reproduce ‘after their kind’ which limits how different the descendants could be from the parents. Therefore, there is no common ancestry between kinds and no evolutionary processes were involved. Here is a picture of Adam Naming the Animals.

Daily Photo: Sand Piper It is an amazing thing to watch how different animals move through their habitat looking for food ... combing the beach through saltwater and sand is not an easy task, but these sandpipers were designed for just such a task. #creation

Daily Photo: Riparian Habitat Riparian habitats are those located next to a stream ... they can be incredibly diverse in types of plants and animals and it changes as distance from the water source increases. These areas can be home to many species. #creation

Many people do not realize there is a lot of evidence for Creation and a lot of unspoken problems for Evolution. In fact, creation models tend to be more accurate and more predictive of reality than the evolutionary or uniformitarian counterparts. The study of Created Kinds and the broad hybridization that is seen is but one line of evidence. #creation #genesis #Creator

Would Dinosaurs Fit On Noah's Ark? The Size of Noah's Ark The question is often asked if Noah's Ark was actually big enough to contain all the animals, food, and water that was needed for survival. Although variables exist which can effect the size of the finished Ark, usually it is calculated to be about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. Henry Morris estimated that the ark would have a carrying capacity of 522 railroad cars which would have plenty of space for animals, food, and Noah's family. To get an idea of what this means, an average railcar can hold about 50 sheep. The Number of Dinosaur Kinds It is estimated that only about 50 Kinds of dinosaurs are now known with most of them being small in size. This number might decrease with further research as some of these Kinds are somewhat similar in appearance. This means that a small herd of dinosaur with up to 100 members could possibly have been on the ark. Modern railcars will place about 16 steers (similar to bison) per car with each having a separate stall. The Size of Dinosaurs Dinosaur fossils tend to come in either small or large sizes. The medium sized dinosaurs seem to be lacking. If an average were taken, some estimates suggest they would be the size of a large sheep or pony or perhaps as big as an American Bison. A small herd of sheep or bison would not be a problem for an ark of that size. Noah did not necessarily have to carry adult animals on the Ark, but instead could have carried babies or young animals which would be much smaller. This would have the added benefit that these animals had their entire life ahead of them to reproduce. For size comparison, the 'Footprint' image in the gallery has my foot next to an Acrocanthosaurus print (similar to a Tyrannosaurus) from the Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, TX. These animals were estimated to reach about 35 feet tall and weigh about 6 tons as adults. #creation #science #noah #dinosaur #bible #scripture
