The Ken Ham/Bill Nye Debate – Thoughts
In researching about both speakers, they have two very different worldviews, perspectives, and goals. Ken Ham has been very active sharing his perspective and worldview for practically all of his life. He started out teaching public school science in Australia, but eventually moved to the US to work with Creation ministries. 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...

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.

Comets have very elliptical or stretched orbits, unlike the circular orbits of...

Introduction: Comets are dirty snowballs composed of rock, frozen gas and ice that can be the size of a small town.

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...

These are camps which we are offering this coming summer for teens and families with teens. I knew that Don helped in connecting a lot of churches and youth groups, both in Texas and in other states, with appropriate mission and camp opportunities. I also anticipated that those youth...

This is not an unknown revelation … things break. Some of these broken things can be repaired if we can only stick them back together. The first item many of us turn to for repairs is duct-tape or bailing-wire; however, if you try to put a vase, or fine china, back together using duct-tape, the results are far from satisfactory – and a wire repair on such items is preposterous. So our next option for restoration is some type of glue product. Two of the most versatile...
