The Evidence Room · The Drawing Board
Where everything came from
This is the room where Christians disagree with each other the most, so you will hear more than one voice in here.
The questions this room answers
Does life look designed, or does it just look that way?
Living things look engineered, and everyone on every side of this argument agrees they look that way. The whole fight is over whether an unguided process can produce that appearance, and this page prints the best case for each answer at the same length.

How do we know God exists?
Nobody has a proof, and the Bible never offers one: what there is instead is a set of features of the world that are far easier to explain if a mind is behind it than if nothing is, each one weighed here against the best answer its critics give.

How old is the earth, and does it matter?
MannaFest reads Genesis 1 as six ordinary days and reckons the earth's age in thousands of years from Scripture's own genealogies, and this page prints the other Christian readings at full strength, shows our own approved voices disagreeing, and states the hardest unsolved problem in the young-earth case in the young-earth section.
