No-ooooo-oooo-ooo!

I am amazed how much young children, even 6 or 7 years old, can grasp! A young girl listened intently as I began my sermon at her church. Without telling the congregation that I was role-playing and pretending to be an evolutionary teacher, I threw out a barrage of short “scientific facts,” supposedly supporting evolution. I also included some supposed contradictions in the Bible. With each one I asked, “How can you believe your Bible when we know ______. . . ?“ Some in...

African Mosquito is fulfilling God’s mandate

The African Mosquito is fulfilling God’s mandate to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The African Mosquito, which transmits most of the malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is adapting to a different habitat. One variation (the M type) is adapted to where there is a more permanent supply of water, and now another variation (the S type) is adapting to short-lived bits of water. Is that evolution? No. The two varieties are physically indistinguishable from each other...

Around the cross had been placed many scraps of paper upon which people could write their sins, and...

Looking out our front window at dusk, I saw what I thought was a raccoon sitting in a willow tree that blew over this summer.

As I watched, the critter lifted its head. Now I was surprised! The raccoon was actually a full grown bobcat! With my nose and eyes now glued to the...

Creation Teaching Makes a Difference

In my last blog, I wrote about the college student who recently told us that because of our creation programs at the University of Minnesota one year ago, she was “released from the burden of evolution.” Another encouraging report from that speaking trip was from a high school girl. Two weeks ago she asked to give a testimony during our presentations at a Youth for Christ rally in Minnesota. She related how one year before she was losing her faith in God because of all the...
