For the Laotian Rock Rat it was a day like any other. Then the men started chasing him. Running for his life, he was determined not to end up in a meat market like the rest of his family. Finally, he tired and was captured. Instead of knives, however, these men carried cameras. After some pictures, he was gently returned to the rocks from which he was taken. What was the occasion? Why the special treatment? Meanwhile, deep in the Coral Sea, an innocent shrimp-like...

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...

Many Christians compromise with modern science by adopting Theistic Evolution – that God used millions of years of evolution as His method of creating. Besides the obvious fact that God said He created it, a huge theological problem exists. According to Theistic Evolution, we have death before sin. In fact, millions of years of death preceded and produced Adam. However, the Bible says death came into the creation as the result of Adam & Eve’s sin. These are...

I was asked recently to do a talk for Master Plan Ministries at Mesa State College (www.master-plan-ministries.org/msc/). The staff had heard my presentation on The Miracle of Life, Part 1, and felt it would be a good talk to present to their Christian college club Tuesday Night Live (TNL). This talk takes a look at the male reproduction system (a very conservative approach – no offensive graphics or terms) and why conception could never have even taken place unless...

To explain the Ice Age, think Flood. Post-flood oceans were likely quite warm, due largely to undersea vulcanism. Warm, moist air masses from these hot oceans dumped massive precipitation over the emerging cooler continents. Near the colder center of the continents and in the higher altitudes, tremendous amounts of snow would have accumulated leading to the Ice Age. The oceans finally cooled allowing the ice to recede. According to meteorologist, Michael Oard, in his books,...

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...

Stephen Hawking announces: Our Universe came from the Big Bang, not from God. Did you hear the momentous announcement earlier this month? Famed cosmologist Stephen Hawking announced that the Universe was not created by God. Instead, the Universe created itself, via the Big Bang. Was this an unlikely event? No. This was actually an ‘inevitable consequence’ of the laws of physics, especially gravity. As he explained: “Because there is a law such as gravity,...

We’re living in a very interesting age for science. It is an age where speculation becomes the headlines for scientific research. Just today, I noticed an article in the New York Times online Space and Cosmos section saying that they have discovered a new planet about 20 light years away from us (a very long way outside of our solar system). The headlines state, “New Planet May Be Able to Nurture Organisms.” The AP headline – “Could ‘Goldilocks’ planet be just right...

Most atheists likely consider themselves to be “honest” atheists. Some atheists, however, openly say that a moral atheist is an oxymoron. They actually suggest that deception is valuable. Their claim is that since some animals use deception, why should the “human animal” be any different? Speaking on the university campuses, I frequently hear the same false arguments. Sometimes, they are traceable to specific professors and sometimes to atheist websites. Some of those...

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...
