The National Creation Science Foundation (NCSF) has received several fine proposals for NCSF grant-supported research, and many of these proposals have already been funded. One such proposal was submitted by Cornelius Van Wingerden and Roger Sigler, both graduates in geology from the ICR Graduate School.

Many Bible scholars today are buying into the day-age theory of origins. They seem to believe that their biblical views must conform to their mental image of how the world functions today and must be confirmed by members of the non-Christian world, whose minds are darkened (Ephesians 4:17-19).

Although the origin of predation is poorly understood, it is incorrect to attribute to young-earth creation the assertion that predatory animals quickly and recently evolved the physical features necessary for predation. It is a common fallacy that carnivores evolved from a change in form and function.

The day-age theory, which posits that the creation days of Genesis were not 24-hour days but long "ages" spread over many years, is often used by old-earth creation adherents to compromise the creation account with evolution. Some even claim that the seventh day on which God rested is still going on today!

What is a day? Inventing a timepiece requires intelligent design,¹ and the "day" is no exception. From the very beginning, Genesis 1:14 reveals, days were invented to measure time.
