Creation Moments

Jonathan Cotton: Creation science is validated by NASA discoveries. That's next on today's Creation Moments. And now, here's our Creation Moments host, Ian Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: Two of the most basic requirements of the scientific method are that scientific theories must be testable and be able to predict future discoveries. Evolutionary scientists say that creationism is not scientific because it fails these requirements. Their claims, however, are without merit. For example, creation scientist Dr. Russell Humphreys made several predictions about future findings in a paper published in a scientific journal in 1984. He began with a biblical description of the Earth and the planets having been created roughly 6,000 years ago, and that in the beginning all the planets had a magnetic field. Based on the rate that the Earth's magnetic field is decaying, planets like Mercury and Mars should have no magnetic field left.

However, the strong fields that they had at their creation should be recorded in their rocks. Later, Voyager 2 confirmed his predictions. Now, the Mars Global Surveyor has confirmed that the rocks of Mars do indeed record a strong magnetic field in the past, just as Humphreys predicted. While these findings support the Bible's repeated insistence that the creation is young, they provide us with another lesson. As in the past, there are still scientists who believe in creation, who publish scientific papers, and even live to see their theoretical predictions confirmed.
