“I can know right from wrong and deny a God, but there would be no right or wrong if there was no God. I can know what a book says and deny that there is an author, but there would be no book to read unless there was an author.” -Frank...
Read More2 heads are better than 1!…Or are they?
“The ‘extra head’ may look like an ‘extra’ piece of information. But an informed evolutionist would not point to it as an example of how random changes can add new programs (the missing ingredient in evolutionary speculations of how microbes allegedly turned into microbiologists). This is because they know that it is the same information, split into two, and defectively expressed. Looking at such a creature should help us to understand the seriousness of the Genesis...
Read MoreYou are a mutant many times over!!
This is still one of my favorite arguments against evolution! “Renowned geneticist and inventor of the gene gun, Dr John Sanford,10 in his landmark book Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome, highlights the problem.11 The relentless net effect of random mutations (which evolutionists suppose to be the ‘engine’ of evolution) is actually degradation or complete destruction of function. As Dr Sanford puts it, “So every one of us is a mutant, many times over!” Such is...
Read MoreFossil Trackways!
The Coconino Sandstone has been assumed to be formed from ancient desert sand dunes. Within this rock layer, we find 4-footed animal tracks. Scientists did experimentation on how the tracks may have been formed and notice what has been discovered about the trackways: “A detailed statistical analysis of these data led to the conclusion, with a high degree of probability that the fossil tracks must have been made underwater… [Regarding the fossils] Toe imprints...
Read MoreHow Old Are You…Really??
Before I begin, I have a quick prayer request. AOI speakers have many camps and VBS’ coming up, so please pray for us and for those who will be attending! Now back to the story… When I am doing a VBS or a camp, I like to start out the week with the following scenario: I tell the students that I am an alien. I have just arrived and I am on a scientific mission to study the human beings on Earth. Let the investigation begin! So I ask one of the campers –...
Read MoreCross-bedding is Awesome and Evidence of a Flood!
“The thickest sets of cross beds in the Coconino Sandstone so far reported are 30 feet (9 metres) thick. Cross beds of that height imply sand waves at least 60 feet (18 metres) high and a water depth of around 300 feet (between 90 and 95 metres). For water that deep to make and move sand waves as high as 60 feet (18 metres) the minimum current velocity would need to be over 3 feet per second (95 centimetres per second) or 2 miles per hour. The maximum current velocity would...
Read MoreFlat, Flat, Flat!!!
We consistently see layers flat on top of another all over the place – even when there should be millions of years of time between them. But if long ages of erosion is happening to the rock layers, wouldn’t we expect the following (jagged lines rather than smooth contacts)??? But this is what we do see all over:
Read MoreLong Periods of Boredom and Brief Periods of Terror!!
This is from a secular geologist that does not accept the Biblical Flood and he says this about the formation of rock layers: “The realization that much of the geologic record, particularly in shallow water environments, actually accumulates as a series of catastrophic events (as expressed in Derek Ager’s eloquent analogy to the lives of soldiers: “long periods of boredom and brief periods of terror”) goes a long way toward explaining the persistence...
Read MoreWIDESPREAD Layers!!!
“The layers you see in the Grand Canyon are very widespread. The top formation, the Kaibab, is also found in California, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. The Redwall layer that forms the vertical cliff half way up is spread over the top half of Arizona, well beyond the Grand Canyon Plataeu. The layers had to be spread over incredibly flat areas to produce such widespread relatively thin layers of sediment. There is no way you could deposit these widespread flat layers...
Read MoreBeauty From…
I want to tell you about a powerful, reflective experience I had recently. We were blessed to be participants in teaching the students from Jackson Hole Bible College (www.jhbc.edu – we highly recommend their 1-year program) for a 2 week trip to the Southwest, including the Grand Canyon (which was just one among many significant geologic sites we visited!). It was a great trip to be a part of. (Aimee and I are actually on staff with AOI because of that trip 7 years ago!!)...
Read MoreTurning to Stone – Fast or Slow?
“It would appear that contrary to the common thinking on the subject of petrification the process does not take millions of years but rather a particular set of circumstances including acids, minerals, and hot and/or dry conditions. This explains how the wood grain is so perfectly preserved in the petrification process. If the process took millions of years the wood would have long since deteriorated and therefore the material which replaced it would not have the look and...
Read MoreBeginning at the…Beginning!
Luke 24:27 – “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” This verse shows us a good example of how, like Jesus, we ought to start from the very beginning (Genesis) and share the gospel with people. Here is the beautiful story of the redemption of the Tugutil people in Indonesia! ...
