A still from the video. The image shows the relationship between the scientific method, on the left, and out understanding of the Bible, on the right. By the way, I apologize for the tilted view: I didn't know the camera was tilted until at the end of recording. I have put up another video on… Continue reading The Scientific Method and the Bible

If you are familiar with creationism and its defense, then you have probably heard that Genesis is often quoted in the rest of the Bible. Do you know what these passages are? I will confess, I only knew a handful of them. So, I decided to rectify that problem by actively searching for verses in… Continue reading Genesis Outside of Genesis

I have a long article this time, so I have created it as a pdf. That way, it can be downloaded and read at your leisure. dino_grassDownload

A painting of Louis Pasteur by Albert Edelfelt. Pasteur was a foundational scientist, making monumental discoveries about microbes and disease. Am I claiming that people like him are stupid? Sounds kind of harsh, doesn't it? "The stupidity of man"? Either, I am taking things a little too far or I am being hyperbolic about the… Continue reading The Stupidity of Man

The fossil of Tetrapodophis. Note its small size and tiny bones. Image from Caldwell et al. (2021) (see notes 2 and 5 below for full citation). In 2015, a new fossil creature, Tetrapodophis, was named and described. "Tetrapodophis" literally means, "four-legged snake" ("tetra" means four, "poda" means leg, and "ophis" means snake), which is exactly… Continue reading Losing a Missing Link: What is its Significance?

The typical way to multiply large numbers: long division. Even though something like "Don't Trust Headlines" sounds like a political statement ("Fake News!" and all that), it is actually something that I often encounter in the sciences. Here is a recent example I encountered. It actually has to do with math, rather than science, but… Continue reading Don’t Trust Headlines

I created a video presentation about Noah's Ark. The presentation uses a scale model of Noah's Ark that I have used in presentations a places like homeschool groups. I thought it would be neat to create a video of the presentation and make it available on-line, so I put the video on Rumble. You can… Continue reading The Size and Capacity of Noah’s Ark: A Video

We are getting there, but if we want to know what separates humans from animals, we ultimately have to see what the scriptures say. Last post, we talked about animals and their tool making abilities. While tool use used to be considered a trait that distinguishes humans from animals, the ability of animals to use… Continue reading Humans as Creators

A spear. But this was not built or used by a human: it was made by a chimpanzee. This is one example of tool use found in animals. Image from Pruetz, Jill; Paco Bertolani (2007) "Savanna Chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, Hunt with Tools" Current Biology 17: 412-417 A couple posts ago, I talked about a… Continue reading Tool Use in Animals and Humans Compared

By now, you have probably heard about Attorney General Merrick Garland's memo, wherein he called on the FBI to address violence against schools and teachers. The context of this memo is that many parents have attended school board meetings across the country to voice their displeasure about current issues facing schools, topics such as mask… Continue reading Facing School Dictates
