A Test for Quasar Cosmological Redshifts
Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • March 21, 2018
The hypothesis that extragalactic redshifts are cosmological is strongly supported. I encourage fellow recent creationists to abandon their doubts that extragalactic redshifts are cosmological.
The Case for Cosmological Redshifts
Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • March 14, 2018
Many recent creationists appear to oppose the Hubble relation, the expansion of the universe, and/or cosmological redshifts of quasars.

Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • Oct. 25, 2017
There are old supernova remnants and stage three supernova remnants have been identified. Therefore, this may not be a good argument for recent origin.
The Case for Dark Matter
Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • March 22, 2017
We ought not to dismiss the observational science for dark matter over fears of the misuse of dark matter in historical science.

The Blurring Distinction between Asteroids and Comets
Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • April 29, 2015
Whether there is a continuum on which our older conception of asteroids and comets are extremes or if there still is a gap between them is not entirely clear.

Speculation on Redshift in a Created Universe1
Dr. John G. Hartnett • Feb. 11, 2015
Dr. Hartnett speculates about the idea that what we observe in the universe is not in equilibrium; that is, the state of the universe is in a transient state.
A Biblical Creationist Cosmogony
Dr. John G. Hartnett • Jan. 14, 2015
The cosmogony proposed is consistent with all creationist understandings of the biblical texts and has no light-travel time problem.

Dr. Andrew A. Snelling • April 16, 2014
Meteorites have been used to date the earth with a 4.55 ± 0.07 Ga Pb-Pb isochron called the geochron.
Comments on the Cosmic Microwave Background
Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • March 19, 2014
The big bang model is contrary to the Bible and the recent creation model. Since in our view the big bang never happened, the CMB requires some alternate explanation.

A Brief History of Intolerance in Modern Cosmology
Dr. Jerry Bergman • Jan. 21, 2009
A review of some recent well-documented cases of intolerance in the cosmology field illustrates a common problem in science. Many relate to the Big Bang theory.
Mars, a Testament to Catastrophe
Charles Creager, Jr. • July 23, 2008
The unlikely geographic relationship between these gigantic features suggests a cause and effect relationship between them. This implies a global Martian catastrophe comparable to the Genesis Flood.
An Apology and Unification Theory for the Reconciliation of Physical Matter and Metaphysical Cognizance
Desmond Allen • Feb. 27, 2008
Because one is tangible and the other intangible, the physical and metaphysical are generally treated separately. But this dichotomy is illogical.
