cultures

Stories of a great flood are included in either the written or spoken histories of over 200 _______________.

artifacts

______________ embedded in coal provide evidence the coal was formed after humans already were living on Earth.

code

For evolution to take place, the DNA of an organism would have to mutate and pass on a trait that was not contained in its original genetic _______________.

entropy

The evolutionary model fails to consider the principle of __________ -- the measure of the amount of energy that is no longer available for use.

cause

The law of cause and effect states that every effect has a definite ______________.

hours

"Little Grand Canyon" of the Toutle River and the Canyon Lake Gorge are two examples of canyons that were gouged out within days or even ________________.

energy

More _____________ is required to change from something less complex to something more complex.

fossil

A ____________ extending through two layers of sediment proves the two layers were deposited within days of each other and can be explained by the Flood.

fallen

Only human beings can realize their ____________ nature and their need for redemption and receive God's free gift of salvation.

buried

Organic matter must be ___________ quickly and deeply before decay has time to begin, and the remains must be subjected to intense pressure for fossilization to occur.

sedimentary

water

Hydrology is the study of how ____________ affects Earth's surface.

inhabited

The Bible clearly tells us that God is the Creator, and He specifically created Earth to be _____________ by mankind.

Creation

____________ scientists propose that comets still have their frozen layers because they were created by God less than 10,000 years ago.

simpler

afloat

unbelief

The theory of evolution is a mental justification for ____________.

wood

Under the right conditions, ____________ can petrify quite rapidly, and the right conditions existed during the Flood.

solar wind

____________ causes particles in the comet's frozen outer layer to form ions that stream away from the comet and form the tail.

evidence

magnetosphere

At its present strength, the ______________ protects Earth from harmful space radiation, but a much stronger magnetic field could have turned Earth into a gigantic oven.

breaks down

instantly

Creationists believe simple and complex organisms were created _____________ by God, Who made the natural laws of science.

evolutionary
