Antarctic Fish with Antifreeze!

Posted on Jan 27, 2011 in Articles | 0 comments

Think of how many times we have said, “It sure is cold this winter.  Global warming nothing — it isn’t happening here!”  Sometimes it would seem our blood is ready to freeze in our veins.  So we crank up the heat in the house and head for the auto store to get extra antifreeze for the car.  We throw extra blankets on the bed and snuggle in with a good issue of Think & Believe for comfort! Bears hibernate in their dens and other animals put on thicker fur coats, but what...

Out of the Mouth of Babes

Posted on Jan 20, 2011 in Articles | 0 comments

Most linguists agree that children are born as universalists; meaning that they have the potential to speak any language.  It is obvious that speech patterns become more ordered and sophisticated as a child grows.  However, for spoken language to develop, the links between the phases of development must be exact and complete before the next phase can be achieved.  For example, if a child is interrupted in one stage of development by trauma or lack of stimulation, it is...

AOI’s Newsletters

Posted on Dec 22, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 2 comments

I was able to get the Kids Think & Believe Too! newsletter finished and ready for the printer before the busyness of Christmas season took over. AOI publishes an adult newsletter and a children’s newsletter every 2 months. Dave and Mary Jo Nutting, along with occasional guest writers, write the articles for Think and Believe, and then have graphic artist Mark Sonmor add the artwork and layout. I (with occasional help from my wife Marilyn) write the Kids Think...

The Miracle of the Incarnation

Posted on Dec 16, 2010 in Creation Nuggets | 0 comments

One of the greatest doctrines, and greatest mysteries, of the Christian faith is the incarnation of Jesus Christ, in which our holy, transcendent Creator took on human flesh and became man.  Scripture clearly teaches this truth, and we accept it by faith, yet those of us with inquiring minds still have many questions. Henry Morris, in his book, Biblical Creationism, discusses some of these questions at length. The following ideas are condensations of his suggestions.  While...

Creation, Christmas, and the Gospel in a Nutshell!

Posted on Dec 9, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

It all fits together!  God created the entire universe and all it contains.  We have seen in earlier Gems from Genesis articles that the creation was very good.  Adam and Eve were also created and had it just as good as they could possibly have it with complete fellowship with God. However, Adam and Eve blew it royally in the Garden of Eden by breaking the only rule of that time – not eating fruit from the forbidden tree.  Their sin impacted all of Creation and now we all...

Sunbeam Hot Springs: A Lesson in Presumption

Posted on Dec 3, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

Sunbeam Hot Springs is a geothermally influenced spring located near Stanley, Idaho. Water emerges at the main vent at 72 degrees C (162 F) as it runs downhill before crossing under a highway and entering the Salmon River.  Because I was working periodically in the area between October 2000 and April 2002, I had five seasonal opportunities to sample the aquatic organisms.  In total, I found seven taxa of invertebrates, including five kinds of insects, one kind of water...

God Still Speaks

Posted on Nov 20, 2010 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

God is a great Communicator. From the very beginning of time, He has been speaking. Just notice how often the phrase “God said” appears in Genesis 1. Truly, the universe was created by His powerful Word. Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”  Then, after creating man, God established communication with him. Even after Adam fell into sin, God came...

God’s Created Creatures Communicate

Posted on Nov 20, 2010 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

Not only does God communicate through His creation and to mankind, we also see that many of His creatures are also able to communicate in unique and interesting ways. Consider the following examples:  Ants have always been known for being masters of communication. Mary Jo and I confirmed that while watching ants in a huge ant farm in a natural history museum. One ant was carrying a very large load when it stumbled crossing a narrow “log bridge.” It continued to grasp its...

Standards of Proof

Posted on Nov 5, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

In the midst of the creation/evolution debate, it’s helpful to step back from the evidence and consider the issue of proof standards.  Legal procedure generally recognizes two levels of proof. The first is “beyond a reasonable doubt.”It is the highest proof standard, and is considered necessary in order to deprive a person of life or liberty. It essentially means that guilt for a crime must be proved to the point that there is no other reasonable possibility. The second...

Coincidence or God-cidence ?

Posted on Oct 14, 2010 in Newsletter, Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Do you believe in coincidences? I usually like to call them God-cidences. I was really up to my neck with things to do before the next speaking trip and needed to get the articles written quickly for the next issue of Think & Believe. The article I wanted to write to fit the flow of the issue was on the communications of honeybees. I made myself a note to begin doing research the next AM for some of the latest info on honeybee communication. Not having computer web...

Peppered Moths Revisited

Posted on Sep 20, 2010 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

Students, do you like being misled? Consider a classic “centerpiece” of evolution that has been taught for 50 years. Textbooks show photos of light and dark colored moths camouflaged on light and dark tree trunks. Texts and many teachers then tell a convincing story about the moths being “proof” positive for Darwin’s idea of natural selection and resulting evolution. The story goes like this: Before the industrial revolution in Great Britain, a large number of light-colored...
