A Snake With a Leg September 14, 2009

When I saw an article and photo of a snake with a leg, I could not help but think of this passage in Genesis 3: 14…

“So the LORD God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals!  You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

Oh, and in case you wonder about “snakes eating dust,” this article offers a great analysis of the passage.

A survey released by Penn State reveals that 13% of  Biology teachers believe they can teach their course without mentioning evolution or Darwin.  Many also teach creationism and intelligent design in the classroom.  See this news report for more details or read the original essay.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed May 1, 2008

We enjoyed the movie, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. We hope you have a chance to go soon if you have not gone yet. We suspect it will not be in theaters for very long.

The movie is about the suppression by academia and the media of any anti-evolutionary research and opinions. We have studied this issue ourselves and can recommend this movie.

Please see the movie if you would like to know more about:
• The link of evolutionism to atheism
• How putting evolution into practice led to the Holocaust
• Evidence that scientists and journalists who question Darwinism (or who are even just willing to grant the freedom of open debate) lose their jobs and/or are ostracized

Whether or not you agree with us that God created the universe in the recent past, we should still have the freedom of expression and exploration of this topic in America. Adamant suppression actually hurts scientific advancement.

A Ben Stein Movie March 5, 2008

A friend just alerted me to the movie, Expelled: No Intellilgence Allowed, coming this spring.

As I checked out the trailers, and other information, it looks like the film should be a good one.

I’ve read for some time how professors lose their tenure and are blacklisted for believing in Intelligent Design or Creationism.  It looks as if Ben Stein plans to expose this kind of behavior.

I don’t know much more at this time, but will update this post if I learn more.

Mike Huckabee responds to evolution question January 22, 2008

I am not endorsing any political candidate, but it is interesting that belief in evolution should be considered a part of a presidential debate.

This is Mike Huckabee’s response.

He did an excellent job, but unfortunately, like many Christians, he does not know how long or how God created. Please go to Answers In Genesis and find answers to those questions. It is important for Christians to know how, how long, when, and why God created.

Volcanoes DO Form Rapidly December 6, 2007

You will enjoy the photos of this eye-witness account of a rapidly-forming volcano and the strange phenomenon of stones floating on the ocean as far as they could see.

Another recently-formed island is Surtsey, off of Iceland which became an island in November of 1963.

Surtsey offers a great lesson that what scientists long attribute to long time periods can actually happen quickly. Geologic features formed in weeks, not in decades or centuries.

More Than Bones December 4, 2007

I recommend this article, which appeared in yesterday’s Washington Post, about a significant Hadrosaur fossil find in North Dakota .  The fossil, named Dakota, is almost like seeing a dinosaur made out of stone.

Dakota has already improved our knowledge of hadrosaurs.   From studying this fossil, scientists concluded hadrosaur’s tails were longer and their “backside was about 25 percent larger than previously thought.”   Dakota’s fossilized scales are three-dimensional and the palm had a fleshy pad.

You may also want to view a slide show of the excavation and a reconstruction of Dakota.
