This document provides a brief history of American creationism from the 19th century to the present day. It outlines the views of prominent scientific creationists like Louis Agassiz and developments in the debate around evolution and Darwinism. It then discusses the rise of fundamentalism and evangelical Christianity in response to modernism and higher criticism of the Bible. It traces the anti-evolution movement spearheaded by William Jennings Bryan and reviews key events like the Scopes Trial. Finally, it summarizes the modern intelligent design and young Earth creationist movements that arose in the 1960s-1980s.
Dr. Stephen Phinney has a defined burden for unveiling the Truth behind the post-modern movement of evolution, old earth and humanism. Creationism is the Biblical Worldview belief that humanity, life, the earth, and the universe (as God sees it) are the creation of a supernatural agency – the God of Abraham.
Why Christians Must Challenge Evolution ( With embedded video of message)Abundant Life Fellowship
Scientifically, the Theory of Evolution is seen by more and more scientists as having major weaknesses. Future sermons will support that fact. The real problem with evolution is that it presents students with a worldview that eliminates the possibility of God in creation. More than a few Christians have had their faith weakened or destroyed by the sole teaching of evolution to the exclusion of Intelligent Design which is just as or more reasonable as evolution.

Religion: Helping or Hindering Science?
By Paul H. Carr, web page www.MirrorOfNature.org
Institute of Religion in an Age of Science Conference,
Star Island off Portsmouth, NH
Monday, 4 August 2014, 3:30 PM
Is religion fostering or impeding the development of science? We have made progress since 1600, when the church burned Dominican Giordano Bruno at the stake in Rome for religious heresy and believing that the stars were like our sun with planets. In 2010, Dominican Francisco Ayala, a Spanish evolutionary biologist, won the $1.6 million Templeton Prize for affirming life’s spiritual dimension.
Nevertheless biblical literalists, who oppose Darwinian evolution, recently built the $26 million Creation Science Museum in Kentucky. It is located in the part of the United States known as the evangelical epicenter, which has the lowest family income and educational attainment of any region.
Main-line denominations have, on the other hand, fostered education and the development of science by founding colleges and universities. I will share other religious contributions, including the green-evangelical question: What car would Jesus drive?

Keeping Faithful to Our Lord in an Increasingly Hostile CultureJeff Phipps
7-part Labor Day Conference series at North Stonington Bible Church on September 3-4, 2016
Audio: http://www.bibleframework.com/lessons/keeping-faithful-hostile-culture/
------------
Using Romans 12:1-2 as the theme, this 7-part Labor Day series deals with how to avoid being “conformed to this age” by having our minds “transformed.” Paul’s warning certainly applies to Bible-believing Christians living in our increasingly hostile culture—a culture using the secular public schools, the media, and government leadership to forcefully, continually and ubiquitously mold U.S. population into suppressing God in every important area of life.
As this new series moves from creation to the conquest, I point to specific cultural agendas that by substituting fictional counter-notions seek to suppress what God shows about Himself in each event. I also cite by number the exact Power Point slide I am using so you can refer to the accompanying slide as you listen to the audio. Included in this series is the complete handout for note-taking. I hope you will feel less intimidated when you see the flimsy foundations under these fictional substitutes for Biblical revelation. May you be encouraged to see the corresponding strength of the Word of God at each point—strength you can rely upon to remain faithful to our Lord!
An exploration of how the gospel of Jesus Christ is contextualized. Incorporates concepts particularly from Jackson Wu, also Lesslie Newbigin. An updated version of this is available for download at: http://www.slideshare.net/WernerMischke/contextualization-acmi

No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.
Here is a talk I gave on this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRM7mxCVFI&t=706s
I can send you the original as a Powerpoint or Keynote if you ask in the comments.
This presentation in detail shows the relationship between evolution, and Islam and evolution and Social Sciences. Moreover, it explains in detail the criticism of the Darwinian ideas present in social sciences.
The way scientists responded to evolutionary ideas can yield powerful insights into understanding the historical resistance against the idea of evolution through natural selection as understood in current neo-Darwinian thinking. From the beginning, evolutionists, including Darwin himself, struggled in trying to find an explanation for the loss of features during evolution, particularly the loss of eyes and pigmentation among many cave organisms. Although Darwin responded to this challenge by embracing neo-Lamarckian ideas, most biologists, at least until the advent of the Modern Synthesis, strongly advocated directional evolution propelled by more or less mystical forces. Even today, many biospeleologists still employ jargon that epitomizes this view of evolution. Today’s controversies surrounding the evolution-creation debate are not really about biblical literalism versus scientific evidence but rather about the disgust created in many quarters of viewing evolution as a materialistic, purposeless process.
Scientifically, the Theory of Evolution is seen by more and more scientists as having major weaknesses. Future sermons will support that fact. The real problem with evolution is that it presents students with a worldview that eliminates the possibility of God in creation. More than a few Christians have had their faith weakened or destroyed by the sole teaching of evolution to the exclusion of Intelligent Design which is just as or more reasonable as evolution.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. LOUIS AGASSIZ
Species were fixed, unchanging entities
Speciation occurs after catastrophes (e.g.
Biblical deluge, the Ice Age)
Large numbers of each species were
created in their intended habitat
The (instantaneous) Ice Age presented a last
barrier between the “prophetic” species and
modern fauna; there was no connection
between fossil and modern species
4. ESSAY ON CLASSIFICATION
“We recognize intelligence in the
construction of a machine because
we know that it could not operate in
the manner it does were it not the
device of an intelligent artisan … The
animal kingdom especially has been
constructed upon a plan which
presupposes the existence of an
intelligent being as its Author”
5. ESSAY ON CLASSIFICATION
Nature shows “not only thought, it
shows also premeditation, power,
wisdom, greatness, prescience,
omniscience, providence. In one word,
all these facts in their natural
connection proclaim aloud the One
God, whom man may know, adore and
love; and Natural History must in good
time become the analysis of the
thoughts of the Creator of the
Universe.”
6. ESSAY (2ND ED, 1869)
“Darwinism excludes nearly all the
mass of acquired information, for it
assimilates and takes exclusively that
which could be useful to the
Doctrine. It is not the facts that
determine for the Darwinists the
nature of their generalizations, it is
the system that dictates the nature of
their reality.”
7. CHARLES HODGE
“What is Darwinism? It is Atheism.
This does not mean, as before said,
that Mr. Darwin himself and all who
adopt his views are atheists; but it
means that his theory is atheistic,
that the exclusion of design from
nature is … tantamount to
atheism.”
What is Darwinism? 1874
8. ASA GRAY
“Darwinian evolution (whatever may be said
of other kinds) is neither theistical nor
nontheistical. Its relations to the question of
design belong to the natural theologian, or, in
the larger sense, to the philosopher. So long
as the world lasts it will probably be open to
any one to hold consistently, in the last
resort, either of the two hypotheses, that of
a divine mind, or that of no divine mind.”
Darwiniana 1876
9. ASA GRAY
“Natural selection is not the wind which
propels the vessel, but the rudder which, by
friction, now on this side and now on that,
shapes the course. The rudder acts while the
vessel is in motion, effects nothing when it is at
rest. Variation answers to the wind: "Thou
hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell
when it cometh and whither it goeth." Its
course is controlled by natural selection, the
action of which, at any given moment, is
seemingly small or insensible; but the ultimate
results are great.”

12. TRIUMPH OF EVOLUTION?
“We might have supposed that evolution had proceeded far
enough to have made extinct any species that objected to the
teaching of evolution in the public schools.” (James McKeen,
1922)
“The fight for Evolution seemed so completely won even in
the [1890’s] that I recall, as a college student, almost wishing I
had been born a generation earlier when the scrap was
on.” (W.C. Curtis, 1956)

“A movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence
to a set of basic principles” (Merriam-Webster)
Developed out of Bible conferences beginning in 1876.

18. EVANGELISM
“Emphasizing salvation by faith in the atoning death of Jesus
Christ through personal conversion, the authority of
Scripture, and the importance of preaching as contrasted with
ritual” (Merriam-Webster)
Stresses need for individual spiritual rebirth, personal
commitment to Christ, and sharing the faith.

If students believe in evolution “they
go back to scoff at the religion of
their parents. And the parents have
a right to say that no teacher paid
by their money shall rob their
children of faith in God and send
them back to their homes skeptical,
infidels, or agnostics, or
atheists.” (1925)

45. BRYAN AT DAYTON
“They found a tooth in Nebraska, in
a sand pit, took it to Osborn and he

asked William King Gregory to study the specimen.
• WKG found it to be the tooth of an extinct peccary
Prosthennops and said such in a paper published in 1927.
48. CREATIONIST CLAIMS
“A tremendous amount of literature was built
around this supposed missing link.” (Scott
Huse)
“There is a lesson here for us concerning the
reliability of so called ‘expert testimony,’ which
is so often used to manipulate and intimidate
the average person.” (Scott Huse)
“Isn’t science wonderful. You get such a
wholesale production of conjecture from such
a trifling investment of facts” (Duane Gish)
50. BRYAN ON CIVIC BIOLOGY
Humankind was in “a little ring …
with lions and tigers and everything
that is bad.”
“No circle is reserved for man alone
… What shall we say of the
intelligence, not to say the religion, of
those … who put a man with an
immortal soul in the same circle with
the wolf, the hyena, and the skunk?”
51. JOHN ROACH STRATON
“If man is a descendent of the beast
instead of a child of God, then we need
not be surprised if we find him inclined to
live like a beast. Monkey men make
monkey morals.” (1925)
52. “Bryan and Tennessee are attacking the law of evolution – as if they
thought that natural laws yielded to attacks … As for Tennessee – the
law of evolution cannot be overthrown by the wisdom of a state
where they burn men alive.” (William Pickens)

“Evolution is at the foundation of Communism, fascism,
Freudianism, social Darwinism, behaviorism, Kinseyism,
materialism, atheism, and in the religious world, modernism
and neo-orthodoxy. Jesus said, ‘A good tree cannot bring
forth corrupt fruit.’ In view of the bitter fruit yielded by the
evolutionary system over the past hundred years, a closer look
at the nature of the tree itself is well warranted today.”

SOCIETY 1963
The Bible is the written Word of God, and because it is inspired throughout, all its assertions
are historically and scientifically true in the original autographs. To the student of nature, this
means that the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths.
All basic types of living things, including man, were made by direct creative acts of God during
the Creation Week described in Genesis. Whatever biological changes have occurred since
Creation Week have been accomplished only as changes within the original created kinds.
The Great Flood described in Genesis, commonly referred to as the Noachian Flood, was an
historic event worldwide in its extent and effect.
We are an organization of Christian men of science who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and
Savior. The account of the special creation of Adam and Eve as one man and one woman and
their subsequent fall into sin is the basis for our belief in the necessity of a savior for all
mankind. Therefore, salvation can only come through accepting Jesus Christ as our savior.
67. CREATION SOCIAL SCIENCE
AND HUMANITIES SOCIETY
“We will endeavor to show that the only true and sure
foundation of man’s knowledge of himself (psychology)- of his
relationship with other men (sociology) – of his
communications and creativity (literature and fine arts) – of
his institutions of social order (administration of justice,
economics, political science) – of his activities and their
descriptions (history) – is the creation of man in God’s image
as infallibly revealed in the Bible. All other attempts to account
for man and vain and doomed to failure.”
68. FOUNDATION FOR
THOUGHT & ETHICS
“The primary purpose [of FTE] is both religious and
educational, which includes, but is not limited to, proclaiming,
publishing, preaching, teaching, promoting, broadcasting,
disseminating, and otherwise making known the Christian
gospel and understanding of the Bible and the light it sheds on
the academic and social issues of our day”
(Articles of Incorporation, 1980)
69. FOUNDATION FROM
THOUGHT & ETHICS
“… has been established to introduce Biblical perspective into
the mainstream of America's humanistic society, confronting
the secular thought of modern man with the truth of God's
Word…
[O]ur first project is a rigorous scientific critique of the theory
of prebiotic evolution. Next, we will develop a two-model
high school biology textbook that will fairly and impartially give
scientific evidences for creation side by side with evolution.”
Submission to IRS, 1981
70. CHARLES THAXTON &
JON BUELL (1983)
“Our commitment is to see the monopoly of naturalistic curriculum in
the schools broken. Presently, school curriculum reflects a deep hostility
to traditional Christian views and values and indoctrinates students to a
mindset through subtle but persuasive arguments. This is not merely a
war over ideas, but over young people and how their lives will be
shaped. The current deplorable condition of our schools results in large
part from denying the dignity of man created in God's image. Even junior
high students recognize that if there is no creator, as textbooks teach,
then there is no law giver to whom they must answer, and therefore no
need of a moral lifestyle, much less a respect for the life of their fellow
man. The message of the Foundation is that this is simply unacceptable.”
72. TENETS OF SCIENTIFIC
CREATIONISM
The Universe was “supernaturally created by a transcendent personal Creator”
Life “did not develop by natural processes from inanimate systems but was
specially and supernaturally created by the Creator.”
“Each of the major kinds of plants and animals was created functionally
complete from the beginning and did not evolve from some other kind of
organism.”
In particular humans “were specially created in fully human form from the start.”
“There are many scientific evidences for a relatively recent creation of the earth
and the universe”

humans and dinosaurs did not exist together in
the past, that person is claiming to be a god,
while calling God Himself a liar, or, at best,
