Imperial data is readily available in vast quantities. We, as astute human beings, with our curiosity and thirst for knowledge, are compelled to interpret that data. Some things are pretty strait forward, like water freezes at 32 degrees F. That is data that really doesn’t need interpretation. It’s testable and repeatable, but when various data is merged into a single theory the theory must be tested. In days of old, scientists would take there theory and try to prove it wrong. This…

Next Sunday, February 12th, is international Darwin Day.  Websites and museums are excited about this time to celebrate Charles Darwin's birthday, his life, his work, his ideas.  Events are being planned, such as screenings of shows like "Where Did We Come From", special exhibits designed to show children how bird beaks adapt and prove evolution, and all kinds of other fun stuff.  Can there be a more fun time for humanists?

Strangely, humanists don't get this excited about the Lord's…

While doing research on the subject of creation recently, I have meditated on this beautiful verse.

"The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands."

So I have been thinking about this hypothetical question:

How much glory would God receive for starting the Big Bang? (Please this is not a debate about the science or interpretation of Genesis 1.)

To me it is so much more wonderful that God said "Let there be lights in the heavens and…

      The Hebrew word “yom” translated “day” in English, can be used much like our word day.  It can mean one 24 hour period or you can say “back in the day” and mean a time period in the past, or you can say “in the days of Solomon” and mean a specific time frame.  Yom is a versatile word, but in Genesis chapter 1, God makes the understanding of the word very clear.  When ever the word  “yom” is used in the Bible in conjunction with a number like, day 1 or day 2 it means one 24 hour time…

This is my first post on Creation Conversations.  It is in poetic form, which is a form of conversation.  The title called "A Higher Power" is what I believe everyone who contemplates the natural world and beyond our planet much come to know that there must be, even if they have no religious background.  Believing the biblical account of creation, that "higher power" to me is my Creator, Jesus Christ, in His pre-incarnate essence.  I want to leave…

Science is not one of my favorite subjects, but I am very impressed with World of Science.  From the back cover, " World of Science explores God's creation all around us from the furthest star in the Universe to the smallest atom under our feet."  This…

I was privaledged to never learn about evolution in school. I actually had no idea of the horrible grip it has on our world. I thank God that I was never sucked into the evolution worldview. I believe in the creation as the Bible describes it more than anything else in this world! FYI/You can find loads of info on drdino.com

    Most of my life I believed in evolution.  It was taught to me in school and I was an absolute sponge for scientific knowledge since my earliest memories.  But, these scientists I put my faith in had a secular world view and preached evolution.  I was caught in a secular worldview.  I never really attributed life and the universe to God.   Then, a few years ago I started studying creation science and stumbled through some bad information until I found the truth. 

    I started out…

I have never been very good at New Year resolutions. Whether it's pledging to work out more consistently, eat less junk food, or even read through the entire Bible in a year, I seem to fall flat on my face sooner rather than later. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever made it past February in any of my New Year resolutions.



Sometimes that lack of commitment scares me.



I know it's just a New Year's resolution. It's not like it's a job responsibility. Or a marriage vow. But I…

Since this book was originally published in 1831, the style of writing took a little getting used to. It was helpful to me, that I had already read a different book in this series previously. It wasn’t so much that the vocabulary was large or even antiquated (although some people might think that was true), it was more that the authors very frequently wrote extremely long sentences using only a semicolon to break it up. That was the hardest thing about the style of writing that I…

How do we Know the Bible is True? by Ken Ham and Bodie Hodge

It must be emphasized that this book is in the field of apologetics. Merely because of that fact alone I must say that it was not “entertaining” or “light”. I don’t have a lot of other books in that particular narrow field so I can’t compare it to other apologetic works so keep that in mind as you read my review.

First, what I liked about it. I liked the fact that there were many different…
