In Texas …or is this Canada?
We thought we were heading to a warmer climate, but it appears like the plane flew in the wrong direction or they moved Texas to the middle of Canada! Bhrrrrr… It’s cold! Fortunately, we have dodged the sections that had snow and black ice. We have certainly been praying for clear roads! Mary Jo and I have been filling in for Richard Stepanek at speaking events he had previously scheduled with creation groups in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Due to his wife...

A discovery of five skulls from Dmanisi, Georgia, has added a new twist to the story of human evolution.

Read MoreThe Ken Ham/Bill Nye Debate – Thoughts

Bill Nye has been a popular science teacher for many years, and recently, he has been especially outspoken on what he perceives are the dangers of...
Read MoreComets – Creation Perspective
Creation Answer: As written in the Bible, God created the Sun, the Moon, and the stars on day 4 of the creation week, and we can assume this includes comets and all other objects in space. There are about 100 short-period comets and over 500 long-period comets discovered so far, which is still too many comets in our solar system, even if it is supposedly 4.6 billions of years old. Comets have very elliptical or stretched orbits, unlike the circular orbits of...
Read MoreComets – Naturalistic/Evolutionary Perspective
Introduction: Comets are dirty snowballs composed of rock, frozen gas and ice that can be the size of a small town. Comets orbit the sun and when they get close enough, they begin to heat up, melt, and lose dust and gases which then form a tail. These tails can stretch out for millions of miles.[i] Astronomers are constantly finding new comets each year. How large can they get? How long do they last? Where do they come from? Can comets tell us something about the age...
