It's been my pleasure to read some recent posts by Doug Wilson and Gavin Ortlund regarding Creation and Earth history. Doug started with this post, to which Gavin responded here with 4 points. Wilson then responded here, to all but Gavin's 4th point. Wilson wisely left point 4 unanswered, suggesting that someone should respond who has … Continue reading More Thoughts on Furthering the Dialogue on Creation
Creation/Evolution
Topics related to why I believe God created everything, and why I don’t believe everything evolved through time and chance. There is evidence for both creation and evolution, and both should be discussed, especially when education is involved. Unfortunately, in today’s world, typically only evolution is discussed in educational circles, and this needs to change.
A Profound Theological Statement
In his new book, Rocks Aren't Clocks, PhD geologist John K. Reed writes: "Today's geology assumes the truth of secular naturalism as a matter of course. That emphasizes the need to examine the philosophical and theological issues. For example, people ask if the Bible is a reliable historical source. That's not a question of science, … Continue reading A Profound Theological Statement
Do we need the Endangered Species Act?
A complex story about trout and people My first experience catching cutthroat trout was in 1989 while fishing in Grand Teton National Park.

Because trout are both fun to … Continue reading Do we need the Endangered Species Act?

Watch my YouTube video, Adaptation, and learn more about what 21st Century science is revealing regarding epigenetics, and what God's word and works have always revealed. The only reason evolutionism exists is because some people think God is a liar. I say let God be true, and every man … Continue reading Adaptation
Will the real Francis Bacon please stand up?

A lawyer and a statesman, his greatest passion was in finding ways to improve and extend human knowledge, and this is seen in … Continue reading Will the real Francis Bacon please stand up?
Natural History and Scientific Research are Different
There are almost no disputes among Christians and non-Christians that Jesus Christ was a real person and lived about 2,000 years ago. Even though the last book of the Bible was written over 1,900 years ago, historical record-keeping since that time is sufficient enough for us to believe this date. To my knowledge, there are no active … Continue reading Natural History and Scientific Research are Different
Tiktaalik, a transitional fossil or just a fish?
This video presents some of the speculation and artwork that goes into describing fossils. Conclusions drawn about fossil finds are always subject to the interpreter's bias. This video shows how a simple experiment can turn a round-headed fish into something resembling the flat-headed and supposed (by some) part-fish, part-amphibian known as Tiktaalik roseae. There is evidence … Continue reading Tiktaalik, a transitional fossil or just a fish?
