A Test for Quasar Cosmological Redshifts

A Test for Quasar Cosmological Redshifts

Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • March 21, 2018

The Stegosaur Engravings at Ta Prohm

David Woetzel • Sept. 13, 2017

The Case for Dark Matter

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.

Taken together, genomic data for both the alleged fusion and cryptic centromere sites refute the concept of fusion in a human-chimpanzee common ancestor.

Scriptural Geology, Then and Now

Scriptural Geology, Then and Now

Warren H. Johns • Nov. 30, 2016

The place of the biblical Flood in the geological record remains one of the most hotly debated issues among creationist geologists today.

Speculation on Redshift in a Created Universe1

Speculation on Redshift in a Created Universe1

Dr. John G. Hartnett • Feb. 11, 2015

Parasitology and Creation

Parasitology and Creation

Dr. Matthew E. Ingle • Feb. 4, 2015

As we learn more about parasites, which don’t seem to be “good” design, we will understand better how the parasitic lifestyle resulted from the Fall.

A Biblical Creationist Cosmogony

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.

Comments on the Cosmic Microwave Background

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.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Curse

The Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Curse

Dr. Danny R. Faulkner • Nov. 13, 2013

Many recent creationists believe that the second law of thermodynamics came into being as a result of the Fall or the curse. I argue that this is not supported by Scripture nor science.

Does Natural Selection Exist?

Dr. Nathaniel T. Jeanson • Aug. 7, 2013

The Importance of an Historical Adam

The Importance of an Historical Adam

Simon Turpin • May 29, 2013

Toward an Accurate Model of Variation in DNA

Toward an Accurate Model of Variation in DNA

Mitchel Soltys • March 2, 2011

The Bible’s description of created kinds implies an information model which uses variables. The findings in this paper show that a model which uses variables forms a basis for understanding biology.

Geomorphology of Uluṟu, Australia

Geomorphology of Uluṟu, Australia

Ken Patrick • June 9, 2010

A Australian inselberg, Uluṟu, is an interesting geological feature in that its geomorphology is still a matter of controversy among conventional geologists.

A Proposed Bible-Science Perspective on Global Warming

A Proposed Bible-Science Perspective on Global Warming

Rod Martin • May 26, 2010

Media coverage of global warming has been increasing for over twenty years. Oddly, the church has had little to say on the issue and has made scant use of Scripture to evaluate the alleged problem.

Inherit the Wind

Inherit the Wind

Dr. Jerry Bergman • March 31, 2010

Although the play was widely believed to be an accurate synopsis of the historical trial, often called the Trial of the Century, it grossly distorted the actual events of history.

Untangling Uniformitarianism

Untangling Uniformitarianism

Dr. John K. Reed • March 17, 2010

Fraud and Forgery in Paleoanthropology

Fraud and Forgery in Paleoanthropology

Fungi from the Biblical Perspective

Fungi from the Biblical Perspective

Ira Loucks • Oct. 21, 2009

The Origin of Oil—A Creationist Answer

John Matthews • Dec. 17, 2008

The dominant view of the origin of oil amongst western oil companies until 1969 was that it was due to the decay of living matter. Now other views are making themselves heard.

Genetics of Coat Color I

Genetics of Coat Color I

Dr. Jean Lightner • Oct. 8, 2008

Given the number of alleles within baramins, much of the diversity at this locus must have developed since the genetic bottleneck at the Flood where only a single breeding pair was preserved.

Mars, a Testament to Catastrophe

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.

Toward a Practical Theology of Peer Review

Toward a Practical Theology of Peer Review

Todd Charles Wood , et. al. • April 9, 2008

The irony of the conflict over peer review is that peer review is poorly understood and criticized even in conventional journals.

Catastrophic Granite Formation

Catastrophic Granite Formation

Dr. Andrew A. Snelling • Feb. 6, 2008

The timescale for the generation of granitic magmas and their subsequent intrusion, crystallization, and cooling as plutons is no longer incompatible with the biblical time frames.

Microbes and the Days of Creation

Microbes and the Days of Creation

Dr. Alan L. Gillen • Jan. 16, 2008

The world of germs and microbes has received much attention in recent years. But where do microbes fit into the creation account?

Proceedings of the Microbe Forum, June 2007

Proceedings of the Microbe Forum, June 2007

Dr. Joe Francis , et. al. • Jan. 9, 2008

For many years the roles of microbes as part of God’s wonderful design have been neglected. Perhaps it is because many people associate microbes as the cause of death, disease, and suffering.

Science on Answers Research Journal

Many believe that science and religion are necessarily in conflict and one must be picked above the other. This perception is fueled by many in the media and academia. However, this is highly inaccurate. According to Scripture, God is both the author of true religion (salvation by faith in Christ) and science (the study of the natural world). When put in proper perspective, there is no conflict between religion and science.

The goal of Answers Research Journal (ARJ) is to publish the highest quality science papers that show that science and Scripture complement, rather than contradict, one another. Our professional, peer-reviewed papers make a strong case for the historicity of Genesis and the accuracy of Scripture from the very first verse. ARJ includes papers discussing various aspects of creation-related scientific research, including original research, meta-analysis, and philosophy of science.

While science is not the focus of Scripture, many scientific principles are hinted at in Scripture. These include ocean currents (Psalm 8:8), the roundness of the earth (Isaiah 40:22), the importance of the blood in the body (Genesis 9:4), and others. The research presented in this journal will cover all aspects of science to present an accurate, scriptural picture of the world we live in.

In seeking to understand the world from a biblical perspective, ARJ will publish scientific research papers and consider all evidence from both biblical and non-biblical sources to determine what is true. This page will feature all the science research published in Answers Research Journal.
