“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26 The $250 million Human Genome Project is attempting to map all the human genes. Some observers have been saying that the human genome project will define what it means to be human. Such talk, however, is based on evolution. We are not the sum of our DNA. It is well known, for example, that two people can inherit the same weakness for alcohol. One may become an...
Read MoreIS 24 HOURS ENOUGH?
Now don’t get me wrong … I am a Young Earth Creationist and believe that each day of Creation was a literal 24 hour period. However, about a week before leaving on major road trips, I begin to wish God had made the days a little longer. Even with all the planning, there never seems to be enough time to get everything done. Get all the fluids changed in the vehicle to hopefully make it road worthy – Get all the repairs that NEED repairing on the home done (the 2nd Law of...
Read MoreColorado to Texas via Wyoming?
Grand Junction, CO, to San Antonio, TX, via Douglas, Wyoming? Not the most direct route, but with back-to-back homeschool conferences, it didn’t make sense to drive home in between. So we rented a car and set off for a packed 2 weeks. At the Wyoming conference, we ran a booth and did 9 hours of teaching for teens (2 of these sessions were combined with adults). Yes, the teens stayed awake, interested, and engaged, and we were grateful for the opportunity to reach this...

Read MoreRevival
I had just finished teaching Fibonacci Numbers & The Divine Proportion: The Hand of God, in a small Texas church, when a smiling, very enthusiastic elderly gentleman approached me. He grabbed my hand and giving it a good shake exclaimed, “Young man (he was in his eighties), I have been to many revivals over the years, and I have to tell you … this is definitely one of the finest I have ever heard. Thank you young man for sharing your passion for God with us!” I was...
Read MoreProfessor What Would it Take for You to Believe?
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...
Read MoreCreation Ministry in India
Sue and I along with Allen and Molly Nance had the opportunity to travel to Hyderabad, India Jan. 19th though Feb. 4th. We hit the ground running teaching a church seminar the evening we arrived. Pastor Elisha of Zion Gospel Church (Hyderabad) planned our teaching schedule, and he kept us all busy. Sundays were always our busiest days starting with an English speaking church at 7:30 a.m. Then from 10:30 to 1:00 Sue and Molly taught the children, Allen taught...
Read MoreSpontaneous Generation
For a long time people thought that living things came from non-living things … mud turned into frogs, old rags turned into rats, and rotten meat turned into white worms. In the late 17th century, a man named Francesco Redi did an experiment to see if meat did turn into worms. He put meat into two jars, one covered with fine gauze and the other left open. Redi observed that flies crawled all over the uncovered meat laying eggs, which later turned to fly larvae (white worms...
Read MoreRiver Deltas and the Age of the Earth
If the world is millions or billions of years old as evolutionists claim, river deltas should extend hundreds of times farther out into the ocean than they do. If earth were created around 6000 years ago as the Bible leads us to believe, deltas should be more or less the length we find them now. So what can those who insist on believing in millions of years claim if they look at a map and see that the longest deltas at the mouths of the worlds large rivers only extend...
Read MoreNoah’s Ark Has Been Found?
Did you hear about the recent claim that Noah’s ark has been found? ( http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/04/27/noahs-ark-found-turkey-ararat/?test=latestnews ) Within 24 hours of the original news report, another report indicated that it is a hoax. ( http://doctor.claudemariottini.com/2010/04/inside-noahs-ark-hoax.html ) Which one is reliable? We are not sure, yet, but are still waiting for more dust to settle before making a determination. While most Christians...
Read MorePolar Bear Warmth
Even a polar bear has to keep warm. Part of its heat is produced in the daylight by the sun shining on its fur. The fur consists of clear, hollow hairs which are very similar in design to fiber optics. Sunlight penetrates these fibers and the warmth from the sun is transferred directly into the body. The hollow hair also provides a dead air space for insulation, thus helping the polar bear stay warm longer. Is it fair to say that since fiber optics are highly designed, so...
