Indian Drawing of a Mammoth

Posted on Apr 8, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

One of the places we just visited on our 12 day field study, we are leading for the Jackson Hole Bible College, is a place where the ancient native inhabitants drew pictures on the sandstone walls. Among pictures of animals we see today, such as: deer, bighorn sheep, and lizards, there is also a picture of a mammoth. At first glance, this shouldn’t be a problem unless you view it through evolutionary glasses. According to what is traditionally taught, mammoths became...

Chew, Chew, Chew

While waiting for my mom at the dentist’s office, I was blessed to overhear a short conversation between the receptionist and an elderly woman. The receptionist asked her, “How do you stay so healthy?” Her reply delighted me: “I take what the Lord gives me … and He gave me a mouthful of teeth.” I love that! What a great attitude – and a good testimony to God’s goodness! And what a great reminder to remember our Creator and give thanks. I got to thinking – how often do I...

Do You Think They Will Read Them?

Posted on Mar 30, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Mary Jo & I were doing presentations at a church on Sunday. One of the parents really got excited about the creation message and wanted some resources. I suggested two “must have books” for her boys on dinosaurs (Dragons of the Deep, and Dinosaurs for Kids). Her question was “Do you think they will read them?” I guess they were really into video games. I assured her not only of the importance that they get material to counteract the evolutionary indoctrination but also...

Youth Rally and People “Getting It!”

Posted on Mar 23, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Mary Jo & I spoke for a youth rally as a portion of our seminar series in Pinedale, Wyoming. Someone who really saw how important it was to get as many youth as possible to see the creation material donated a brand new IPAD as a prize for a drawing held during the rally. That “bribe,” coupled with a pizza party and a pastor who also encouraged them to come, got a lot of youth out! We were also happy to see most all of them paying close attention to our creation...

Assumptions: How Good Are They?

Posted on Mar 17, 2011 in Articles | 0 comments

Whenever a scientist begins an experiment, he accepts certain basic, unprovable assumptions.  Sometimes these assumptions may seem quite believable – other times, they may be a shot in the dark.  If the assumptions are good, the results are probably reliable.  If the assumptions are bad, so are the results.  Consider the following examples. In the past, functions of various body organs were not understood.  Since evolution was assumed true, many organs were assumed to be...

Rifkin and Today’s Genetic Engineering

Posted on Mar 17, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Mary Jo and I have had the privilege and pleasure of staying with Dave Harper and his wife, Barb, while teaching in Pinedale, WY. We always enjoy being with them, both because of their great hospitality and the stimulating conversation. Dave, currently the President of our Board of Directors, reminded me this morning of a quotation, originally written in 1983, which I had read years ago. With today’s push toward genetic engineering, I think we should be aware of the...

Tsunami

Posted on Mar 16, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

It’s hard to describe the emotions felt while watching tsunami waves engulfing Japan in real time. Viewing the before and after images gives a glimpse of the destruction. And yet the loss and human suffering is unimaginable. Our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones, friends, farms, businesses, personal belongings – and their sense of order and security in life. The trauma they have faced, and are continuing to face, seems overwhelming. Oh, that they would turn to...

Junk DNA and Creationist Predictions

Posted on Mar 11, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

As much as 98% of the DNA molecule has been labeled “junk.” It was thought to have no function and thus, that mutations could accumulate there without being “weeded out” by natural selection. However, research is rapidly showing functionality for the so-called “junk DNA.” Even Francis Collins, long-term DNA researcher who just a few years ago thought that non-coding areas of DNA were non-functional, is now recognizing complex functions taking place in the areas previously...

Treadmills, DVDs, and Friends

Posted on Mar 8, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

While exercising on my treadmill this morning, I enjoyed watching a DVD called “Creation the Facts of Life” by Dr. Gary Parker. This multitasking makes the time go faster and gives me an opportunity to meet new friends or touch bases with people I haven’t seen in awhile. It was fun to spend the time with Dr. Parker today. Dr. Parker was one of my professors/mentors while attending the ICR Graduate School. His unique teaching style and ability to see relationships between...

Are You Hungry?

Posted on Mar 3, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

At a recent staff meeting, I was blessed to hear Rich Stepanek’s report on his latest trip to India. As often happens on international trips, Rich found a refreshing hunger to learn about creation and how it relates to the gospel message, and a welcome eagerness to sit and listen for many hours on end. (I think it’s going to be hard for him to come back to the “reality” here in the States – rigid time constraints and the busyness that tugs and pulls on people’s willingness...

Hummingbird Spy Planes

Posted on Mar 2, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

I thoroughly enjoy hummingbirds and dragonflies. They are certainly marvels of creation. However, there may come a time when people will start shooting them. The Associated Press (2/28/2011) just had an article about new research with working models of tiny spy planes that mimic birds and insects. The hummingbird “drone” can fly forward and backwards, up and down, sideways, and rotate. However, unlike the real thing, it is loaded with video and audio equipment to record...

A Powerful Tool

Posted on Feb 25, 2011 in Articles | 0 comments

After a seminar, a girl came forward who was obviously struggling.  She was a foreign exchange student from Germany who professed to be an atheist.  As she talked with Rich Stepanek, she confided, “One of my friends went to America, and came back a Christian.  I promised myself that wouldn’t happen to me.”  After Rich and the pastor shared with her for over an hour however, she prayed to receive Christ as her Savior! For seven months her host family had been witnessing to...
