Answering The Challenges – Mike Riddle

Answering The Challenges

We answer some of the common challenges to the Christian faith:

1. In Genesis 2:4 the word day does not mean a literal day, so why do they have to mean a literal day in Genesis 1?
2. We should not let the age of the earth divide us. We should come together in unity and fight against evolution.
3. My teacher knows I am a Christian and asked me if I believed in natural selection. What should I say?
4. The story about Noah and the flood was borrowed (copied) from earlier stories such as the account of Gilgamesh. We know this because there are so many similarities between the two stories.
5. The distant starlight challenge
6. Scientists have proven the Bible is false
7. The Bible doesn’t teach how God created.
