Dave and Mary Jo Nutting: During our seminars, we like to see eyes light up when we expose the issues of evolution and present a positive case for Creation. However, we also thrive on the relationships fostered by longer-term camps and tours. This note was from one of the participants from our Yellowstone tour: “Thank you again so much! Your encouragement, listening ear, attention (and patience) with our kids, your courage and passion to share...
Read MoreIn the same stream as my last blog (this time of year actually slows down enough to collect your thoughts again), I want to continue to reminisce on my recent travels. So step back a little in time with me again (this was also last September). …One added perk of a traveling creation ministry like ours, is the blessing of passing through parts of the country where our children now live. We currently have three daughters and sons-in-law who are in active...
Read MoreLooking back over the end of the summer, I thought I would do a little recollecting of some of the recent travels. So step back a little in time with me. … It seemed to us that almost everyone had come to Nebraska to view the solar eclipse! That became especially evident on the return home—more details on that later! A pastor friend from Harrison, NE, had asked me (Rich) a number of months ago if I would be interested in giving an astronomy talk at his...
Read MoreSummer is a fantastic time for teaching at Vacation Bible Schools and camps. Rich recently took part in separate VBS programs in two different locations (as many as we can get). A comment we heard from one of the older participants was an encouragement. She told one of the VBS leaders – “Not only is he (Rich) teaching about the Bible, but he is also teaching about science. I learned more science in 30 minutes than I did in six months at school!” Another...
Read MoreI want to continue my recollection from recent tours… started in my last blog. Our Idaho tour began Thursday evening (March 27th) with a night of teaching for the AWANA group at Cambridge Bible Church. They had been studying the beginning of Genesis and wanted to continue the theme, so it was very fitting to use my teaching on Genesis chapter 3. I only had to make a few alterations of my usual program for these young people, and then I was off teaching. The...
Read MorePSALM 92:1-2 – “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night.” We are so thankful for the Lord’s lovingkindness and faithfulness as we recently concluded another seminar tour (we are heading out today for another tour). It was a very good trip, not unlike many, many before it, but it was a bit busier than most. At our first...
Read MoreOn a recent trip to Nebraska, while visiting our daughter’s family for the birth of our granddaughter, the church where our son-in-law pastors decided to set up an impromptu three night creation seminar (knowing that Rich was visiting). We had really come to help take care of our one year old grandson during this time, but the Lord allowed us also to be used to train others, specifically some youth who needed answers for a conversation they would be having with an...
Read MoreWe are currently teaching and traveling in northwest Kansas. Rich had the unusual opportunity to teach six nights straight as well as the Sunday School and church services. He was also asked to speak at the church Valentine banquet on Friday night. The topic he chose was on love, marriage, and the unique roles that husbands and wives play. The foundation for all of this, of course, comes from the book of Genesis. All the other sessions were an in depth study...
Read MoreAs many of you know, my wife Sue was diagnosed with cancer in the small intestine. When we first heard the news, we and the doctors were very concerned about the severity of the cancer. There was a chance the cancer had already spread to the other organs. Thoughts of living without Sue went through my mind. These thoughts were unbearable. The surgery went very well and the doctors were confident they removed all the cancer, but then there was the recovery. The...
Read MoreRecently, while visiting the anthropology museum in Laramie, WY, I read and saw some very interesting exhibits. Most of what I read was not new, but exactly what the book of Genesis predicted …as I will explain later. The sign for the first display of interest read in part (pictured right and the content in the black box is printed below): “H.rudolfensis, A. boisei, and H. erectus All lived at the same time and this means that one is not an ancestor of...
Read MoreResearch on the Neanderthal genome has revealed modern humans and Neanderthals could interbreed with one another. This means Neanderthals and modern humans are all of the same kind, or family. In other words, Neanderthals are just a variation of humans. The following is from an article on the New Scientist website entitled, “Breeding with Neanderthals helped humans go global,” by Michael Marshall. “The publication of the Neanderthal genome last year...
Read MoreWORK. What thoughts come to mind when you hear this word? Are they in a positive or a negative light? Do you like to work? I have been thinking about work and its value for the past few weeks. Since my cancer surgery four months ago, I basically had the “privilege” of being served by others. This was primarily my dear husband and my family, who provided almost everything I needed. They brought me many meals in bed, washed many dishes, and served me in...
