Read More42 Years – Refusing to See!!
J Harlen Bretz first started studying the Pacific Northwest in 1922. In 1923, he developed a flood model for the cause of the geological formations in that area. “Bretz was openly and vigorously ridiculed for presenting such a ludicrous notion as a flood model for the scablands since this region had obviously been carved out over millions of years by uniformitarian processes.” (http://www.detectingdesign.com/harlenbretz.html) “Before a theory that requires a seemingly...

Read MoreHow Old is the Earth?
Are we simply learning more through better science and technology or is this the result of a continuing trend away from the Bible? Estimates for the Age of the Earth: Throughout History – Bible-believers – based on genealogies – about 6,000 years 1779 – Comte de Buffon – 78,000 1786 – Abraham Werner – 1 million years 1800’s – Charles Lyell – estimated 80 million years for the Cenozoic Era alone. 1860 – based on amount of fossil-filled sedimentary rocks – 3...
Read MoreFor Such A Time As This…
I have two children. I have waited my whole life to be a mom, and being one is proving to be filled with even more joy, intense love, heartache and yearning over my kids, than anyone ever said it would be. But these are uncertain times. I don’t know what the future holds. I pause and wonder: how many faithful parents in the history of time have peered into the future without a shadow of anxious yearning over their children, wishing they could offer a safer, purer world for...
Read MoreIncredible Odds Against Earth’s Perfect Placement
“In 1966…Carl Sagan announced that there were two important criteria for a planet to support life: The right kind of star, and a planet the right distance from that star…As our knowledge of the universe increased, it became clear that there were far more factors necessary for life than Sagan supposed. His two parameters grew to 10 and then 20 and then 50…As factors continued to be discovered, the number of possible planets [that could support life] hit zero,...

“PBS 3 also describes the leaf-cutting ants of Brazil. They form colonies containing eight million insects, and they cut leaves into pieces and bring them to the nest, but they don’t eat them. Rather, other leafcutter ants mulch them and use the mulch to grow a fungus ‘garden.’ This fungus is used as food for the young leafcutters, which thus depend on the fungus for survival, but the fungus depends on the ants to provide the mulch. But this fungus garden has a...
Read MoreEinstein’s Knowledge – Not Enough
“The mathematical precision of the universe reveals the mathematical mind of God.” -Albert Einstein Albert Einstein’s quote confirms what Paul said in Rom 1:19-20 – “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” From various...
Read More“A True Mystery of Science”
Regarding new fossil teeth much older than previously thought (2.8 million years old – 400,000 years earlier than before): “Arizona State’s William Kimbel, an author of the paper, said it’s not clear whether the fossil came from a known early species of Homo or whether it reveals a new one.” Such phrases seem to come up frequently: ‘older than previously thought’, ‘younger than previously thought’, ‘surprising results’, ‘unexpected data’, etc....
Read MoreChristian Heritage
“[Ownership and embracing of science] is where some of my Christian brothers and sisters fail mightily. So often they cede “science” to the atheist and shrink away from his challenges, backing off in defeat while muttering something about “faith” and “belief.” “Well, you might have your fancy science books, but I’ve got faith.” Yes, faith and belief are important, but you, my Christian compatriot, are standing on the Mountain of Truth. You have the high ground. YOU...
Read MoreThe Importance of Reading
“Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.” (1 Timothy 4:13) “In this video age, Christians are in grave danger of forgetting the importance of reading. The word translated “reading” in this verse is the Greek anagnosis, a compound word meaning essentially “renewed knowledge.” A sermon or lecture is knowledge heard; an educational film or video is knowledge seen; but reading is knowledge that can be read, rehearsed, reviewed, and renewed again...
Read MoreOort Cloud: Fact or Fiction?
“I remember learning about the Oort Cloud in college and accepted it as it was taught to me…as a proven fact. I had no reason to doubt it. Much later, I was shocked to learn that that fact was based on no evidence. The Oort Cloud ‘has to exist’ only to make the billions of years of cosmology possible.” -Brian Mariani, AOI Speaker “Consider this quote from Sagan and Druyan: ‘Many scientific papers are written each year about the Oort Cloud, its properties, its...
