Creation, Christmas, and the Gospel in a Nutshell!

Posted on Dec 9, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

It all fits together!  God created the entire universe and all it contains.  We have seen in earlier Gems from Genesis articles that the creation was very good.  Adam and Eve were also created and had it just as good as they could possibly have it with complete fellowship with God. However, Adam and Eve blew it royally in the Garden of Eden by breaking the only rule of that time – not eating fruit from the forbidden tree.  Their sin impacted all of Creation and now we all...

Sunbeam Hot Springs: A Lesson in Presumption

Posted on Dec 3, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

Sunbeam Hot Springs is a geothermally influenced spring located near Stanley, Idaho. Water emerges at the main vent at 72 degrees C (162 F) as it runs downhill before crossing under a highway and entering the Salmon River.  Because I was working periodically in the area between October 2000 and April 2002, I had five seasonal opportunities to sample the aquatic organisms.  In total, I found seven taxa of invertebrates, including five kinds of insects, one kind of water...

God Still Speaks

Posted on Nov 20, 2010 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

God is a great Communicator. From the very beginning of time, He has been speaking. Just notice how often the phrase “God said” appears in Genesis 1. Truly, the universe was created by His powerful Word. Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”  Then, after creating man, God established communication with him. Even after Adam fell into sin, God came...

God’s Created Creatures Communicate

Posted on Nov 20, 2010 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

Not only does God communicate through His creation and to mankind, we also see that many of His creatures are also able to communicate in unique and interesting ways. Consider the following examples:  Ants have always been known for being masters of communication. Mary Jo and I confirmed that while watching ants in a huge ant farm in a natural history museum. One ant was carrying a very large load when it stumbled crossing a narrow “log bridge.” It continued to grasp its...

Standards of Proof

Posted on Nov 5, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

In the midst of the creation/evolution debate, it’s helpful to step back from the evidence and consider the issue of proof standards.  Legal procedure generally recognizes two levels of proof. The first is “beyond a reasonable doubt.”It is the highest proof standard, and is considered necessary in order to deprive a person of life or liberty. It essentially means that guilt for a crime must be proved to the point that there is no other reasonable possibility. The second...

Coincidence or God-cidence ?

Posted on Oct 14, 2010 in Newsletter, Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Do you believe in coincidences? I usually like to call them God-cidences. I was really up to my neck with things to do before the next speaking trip and needed to get the articles written quickly for the next issue of Think & Believe. The article I wanted to write to fit the flow of the issue was on the communications of honeybees. I made myself a note to begin doing research the next AM for some of the latest info on honeybee communication. Not having computer web...

Peppered Moths Revisited

Posted on Sep 20, 2010 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

Students, do you like being misled? Consider a classic “centerpiece” of evolution that has been taught for 50 years. Textbooks show photos of light and dark colored moths camouflaged on light and dark tree trunks. Texts and many teachers then tell a convincing story about the moths being “proof” positive for Darwin’s idea of natural selection and resulting evolution. The story goes like this: Before the industrial revolution in Great Britain, a large number of light-colored...

Survival of the Fittest?

Posted on Sep 14, 2010 in Creation Nuggets | 2 comments

Natural Selection, or “survival of the fittest,” is the mechanism which is usually proposed to drive evolution. It seems obvious that those organisms, which are more “fit” in a particular environment or under particular conditions, will be those that survive. However, by itself, natural selection has no power to “create” anything. At best, all it can do is “choose” between organisms that already exist. Thus, it has no power to explain the origin of a new trait. Furthermore,...

Chinese Writing Tells of Genesis

Posted on Aug 5, 2010 in Creation Nuggets | 0 comments

  Did you know that many ancient Chinese words have their roots in Genesis? These ancient words are made up of pictures. For example, the word for tempter is made up of pictures representing a garden, a serpent, and a woman. Amazingly, the word for boat is 8 mouths in a vessel. This reminds us of accounts of Adam and Eve’s fall and the 8 individuals who survived the flood of Noah’s days. Their culture had a creation base, but, sadly it was lost to religious...

Professor, What Would It Take For You To Believe?

Posted on Jun 29, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

Many years ago, Mary Jo & I spent a full evening answering a professor’s arguments for evolution and presenting a solid case for creation. About midnight it dawned on us that nothing was penetrating. We asked the professor what he would accept as evidence in favor of a Creator. He replied, “Absolutely nothing!” I wished we had asked that question 5 hours earlier!  Just recently we asked another professor the same question. His response was (rough quote from memory), “If...
