Comets – 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...

A couple of weeks ago, I called a friend of our ministry, Don Holmes, to see if he would help spread the word regarding AOI’s family camps as well as our Creation Action Boot Camps.

So our next option for restoration is some type of glue product. Two of the most versatile...

I have been thinking quite a bit lately about the term “surrender.” In the weeks leading up to surgery, the word took on a whole new meaning. Suddenly, so many things were out of my control. It sometimes takes a real attitude adjustment, to release OUR control to others, even to God. I heard a sermon during this same time period, reminding me that I cannot question God’s path because it is different than my agenda; even when that path includes cancer. I MUST...
Read More“Keep on Keeping on”
There is one specific New Year’s resolution that I have had for many years. It can be summed up by the words of encouragement to Mary Jo and I from a person who was deeply impacted by the creation message. She wrote, “Keep on keeping on!” Since that note almost 25 years ago, that encouragement has been on our lips and now is also on the lips of other staff at AOI.
