It is exciting to see those connected with AOI now teaching and touching the lives of others. Allen is evidently enjoying teaching children in India the truth of God’s Word – in this case Genesis 6-8 about Noah’s Flood. This book and many others were donated by his local church. Please pray for good fruit of the ministry of Allen and Molly! Praise God for what He is doing throughout the world! -Dave Nutting

Several have commented on the picture I took in 2005 of Mary Jo at the Blue River Waterfall in Costa Rica. Just upstream from the waterfall, two clear streams merge causing a chemical reaction. The result is the most intense turquoise blue water I have ever seen! Costa Rica is full of intense colors (and so many others) such as the Blue Morpho butterfly. Join Mary Jo and I on the Costa Rica tour to see amazing design, volcanoes, and color! -Dave Nutting Discover Creation...
Read MoreIs there Extraterrestrial Life elsewhere in the Universe?
There is a lot to this question, but Biblically speaking – God created Earth for Life and Life for Earth. I once heard this argument in favor of the existence of alien life: “The Bible doesn’t say that God didn’t create aliens.” But I think a better starting point is focusing on what the Bible DOES say. Genesis 1 talks about God creating the dry land on Earth, the plants on the dry ground, then the sun, moon, and stars were created, then the sea and sky creatures on...
Read MoreWhat are you doing God?
By Marilyn Johnson Do circumstances ever make you ask, “What are you doing God”? By April of every year we are usually so booked with summer Vacation Bible Schools or Bible Camps that we have to turn folks away. However, this year was different; we were not flooded with requests. During that time, we were earnestly beginning to ask God “What’s up?” And then God opened the gates. Within a day or two, three opportunities opened up! Following God’s...
Read MoreReflecting on AOI’s Yellowstone Tour 2016!
I recently helped out with AOI’s Yellowstone Creation Tour and it was a fantastic weekend. I was awed by the unique and incredible natural features of Yellowstone National Park and refreshed by the time to get away and enjoy God’s beautiful creation. I think one of the things that I was most blessed by from this tour was the group comradery and encouragement. We were able to come together as believers of God and His Creation and share together in the beauty of His...
Read MoreInvestigation and Debate within Science
“We need investigation, not arbitrary exclusion of what is scientifically unfashionable. In particular, Christian colleges, funding sources, and fellow scientists should not excommunicate young-earthers. We should encourage debate among all those who see the Bible as God’s Word but have differences in interpretation.” -Marvin Olasky, Riding the rapids, World Magazine, http://www.worldmag.com/2010/08/riding_the_rapids/page4 This quote surely describes the...
Read MoreHuman Ancestors – Creation Perspective
Creation Answer: God created man on day 6 and man was originally very intelligent and even walked with God. Man did not evolve from lower forms of human and was not a dumb caveman. At the time of creation, God originally made man and apes as two different kinds. “There are many differences between humans and apes that can be seen in fossil remains. These include the fact that humans walk erect and so have appropriate/distinctive knee and hip joints, backbone, toes, etc....
Read MoreBeauty and Art – Creation Perspective
Creation Answer: Beauty and art are not just the result of evolution for mating purposes.[i] “Essentially, the foundational argument would suggest that, given the universal reality that the concept of “beauty” exists (even if it is in “the eye of the beholder”) there is an ultimate “standard” by which beauty is judged. Determining the aesthetic value of anything requires rational judgment, even though that judgment is unique to each...
Read MoreBeauty and Art – Naturalistic/Evolutionary Perspective
Introduction: “Aesthetics is the study of beauty, more often associated today with art.”[i] Some believe that beauty and art have developed as we have evolved, mainly for mating purposes and driven by selfish desires. Others believe that beauty and art were designed by a beautiful, loving, creative God to show His nature and glory to us and through us. What is beauty? Why do we have beauty? Is beauty for more than just mating purposes? What is art? Why is art so...
