Welcome to session 9 in our series “Science & The Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. In this session we will explore the topic of Nutrition. The Jewish diet based on the Mosaic Law is known for its dietary restrictions. It was completely different from any other ancient diet we know of. Why would God have such strict dietary rules? It turns out there are some scientific and medical reasons behind it.

Welcome to session 7 in our 11 part series “Science & The Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. In this lesson we will look at what the Bible has recorded about Human Biology. The Bible does not have a lot to say about this topic but does give us a solid foundation of information, namely around the nature of blood.

Our final session in our Creation series examines three more problems for Darwinian Evolution. Darwinian Evolution has used observed similarities in structures and species as evidence of evolution for decades. However more research and new technologies have allowed us to gain a better understanding of the human body and many other species. How do these traditionally held Darwinian beliefs hold up to the science?

However the evidence says otherwise. When looking closer we can see descriptions of dinosaurs-like animals in scripture. And when looking at ancient cultures we can find stories and art about dinosaur like creatures living with man. Why is that?

This session also explains the differences between Biblical Poetry and Historical Records in the Bible. Then we will walk through the research and methodology of Dr. Steven Boyd that sought to determine the literal or poetic interpretation of Genesis in the original Hebrew language.

Theistic Evolution poses many doctrinal inconsistencies and has consequences for the purpose of the Gospel and the rest of the Bible. This session addresses why Christians need to understand the difference between these perspectives and why Theistic Evolution is not a viable interpretation of Genesis 1-11.

Darwinian Evolution has put forth many theories about DNA and mutations but what is the evidence for these theories? As technology and research have improved, we are able to more carefully examine traditionally held beliefs and find out where we went wrong, what we don’t know and what we do know.

Radioactive Dating is the preferred method for dating materials but how was it developed and how is it being used today? What are some issues with Darwinian Evolution’s use of time to explain feature of the earth? When put to the test we find inconsistencies.

Download the full lesson and Power Point at: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/astronomy/ Welcome to session 6 in our 11 part series “Science & The Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This lesson covers the field of Astronomy and how the science has changed over the centuries. Our ideas about the universe, even as early as the 20th century, might seem very silly to us today, thanks to new knowledge obtained by satellites, probes, and advancements in telescopes. How does the Bible stack up to our modern understanding of the universe? This lesson also covers the debate among some Christians on whether scripture supports a geocentric or heliocentric model.

Creative and Technical Director Charlotte gives our first update on the happenings at Evidence 4 Faith! This week we were able to almost complete the studio and run the first test shoot! Evidence 4 Faith’s mission is to point people to God through Scripture, Science & History. We plan to use three primary channels: a website hosting online apologetics lessons and resources, speaking events and finally, adventure trips. The studio is where we will film and produce our online lessons. The first shoot was a success!

Download the full lesson and resources at: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/ephesians210/ This video series is a topical study of Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” This session will dive deep into a very popular verse among Christians from Matthew 5:13 about being the “Salt of the Earth.” What is often missed in this teaching from Christ is the significance of salt to first century people. Why did Christ specifically use salt? Salt is incredibly important for trade, preserving foods and even creating medicines in our modern world. It had similar uses in the first century and was so valuable that it was used as a form of currency. There are a few different modern interpretations of this verse but what would have first century Christians understood? What is the significance of this teaching?

Scripture uses a specific word to describe our transition from death to life: metamorpho’o. From “metamorpho’o” we get the terms “metamorphosis,” “transformed,” and “transfiguration.” Why is it important to understand we are “a new creation”? How does this change our perspective on how to live? Thank you to Riverside Bible Camp in Amherst WI for hosting this weekend series.

In our Christian lives obedience to God can sometimes seem to cause suffering and discomfort. In Corinthians it says the Spirit is making us more like his Son.
