Ministry Update August 2025 Greetings! Great open doors! Old Faithful Christian Ranch (OFCR) in Idaho invited AOI to teach creation for all their 2025 kid’s camps.

Read MoreThe Flood Was Global!!
This is What People Need to Hear! When I first saw Adam’s run-down of the Biblical points and Scientific points…and why the belief in a Global Flood is important – I thought, ‘YES! This is one of the best short(ish) descriptions of why we can trust that the Flood was Global and why it really matters!!’ Maybe you are like me and have met many people who think that the Age of the Earth doesn’t matter or are okay with uncertainty on the...

Here are just a few examples.” -The Cause of the Universe -Design in Nature -Source of Morality -Young Age Indicators -Genetic data consistent with Adam and Eve -Geology supports a global flood -Human Value -Signs of the soul -Marriage and family Which one do you...
Read MoreCool Testimony!!
I came across this article in an older Think & Believe Newsletter. As I was, I think you will be blessed by Lanny’s testimony here: “All of the AOI speakers minister to thousands of people every year both in groups and one-to-one. Because of the traveling nature of AOI’s ministry, we share for a brief time, but then travel down the road to a new event. Mostly, all we are able to do is plant a seed of truth and encouragement, and pray that it falls on fertile soil. The...
Read MoreCross-Bedded Sandstones: Windblown or Water Carried?
Cross what? Sandstone was formed from sand that became washed or blown into place and later cemented together by waterborne minerals to become solid rock. Crossbedding refers to a specific type of layering which is noticeable in many sandstone deposits. In the picture above, notice the flat horizontal line and then the layers dipping downward to the left. This is typical crossbedding. Measuring the angle that the layers dip can give a clue as to what deposited the...

Read MoreGod is at work even when we Crash!
I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw a Semi-truck barreling down on us…no more than 30 feet from us. I knew it was going to be bad. And a second later, I was looking all around trying to survey what just happened. I was still in control of the car, still going straight forward. I looked back in the rearview mirror and my 4-year old son was still sitting in the third row – just stunned – seemingly not in pain. The two younger girls in the second row had awoken from their...
Read More“Scientific evidence does not have to be interpreted. Science is science.”
The above was a response (“Scientific evidence does not have to be interpreted. Science is science.”) that I received while in a debate with an evolutionist. This is how I rejoined in the debate: Crime Scene Scientists, Paleontologists, and Archaeologists along with probably every other scientist is faced with the challenges of how to best interpret the evidence. If you were a crime scene investigator, you would come into a house and observe a dead body laying on the...
