The First 1

danpearson1961

In the schoolyard of numerals, sometimes it’s important to not be first! This post won’t go into the many details demonstrating that the Genesis account of creation speaks of days as we understand days; that there are no “outs” in the original Hebrew allowing someone to consider that the days presented in Genesis 1:1 – 2:3 are some form of long ages supporting a five billion-year-old Earth. Such meaning isn’t there, and that’s unequivocal. Also unequivocal is the fact that no gap of eons occurs between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Both the day-age theory and the gap theory attempted to … Continue reading The First 1

Wooden You Agree that Evolution is True! (No, it’s not a question)

danpearson1961

Did early hominids use construction techniques more complex than we’ve heretofore presumed them capable of using? Or, do modern humans pre-date the place previously assigned to them on the evolutionary timeline? A sample of wood seems to suggest that one, or both, of those assumptions need refining. Or… would it be more scientific to consider that “scientific” dating methods are robbing us all, from mature researchers to elementary-aged school children, of our ability to use reasonable scrutiny when considering past events? Once again, a specimen has been pushed into the limelight to herald the extensive age of the Earth, and … Continue reading Wooden You Agree that Evolution is True! (No, it’s not a question)

What’s the Point?

danpearson1961

How small does a person have to be before they’re entirely insignificant? This meme’s been making the rounds on social media, and I’ve seen it across platforms, posted by numerous friends, and friends of friends. Sometimes the tone of the post is humorous, as in “Just how big a problem is me forgetting the cover sheet on my TPS report?” Sometimes it’s more introspective, with a twist of brooding. Regardless, it pleads for an answer to the question “What’s the point?” I’ve written in a previous post about the four great existential questions: Origin, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny (see OMMD … Continue reading What’s the Point?

Your kids don’t believe in evolution? We’ll take care of that.

danpearson1961

I’ve split a previous post in order to more clearly present: 1. The goal of evolution (see at this site the post Evolution isn’t a salvation issue, and that’s the gospel truth!), and 2. What some in the American education apparatus consider to be a primary goal of the sciences. To get there, let’s first sample some of the secular thoughts that are in print regarding the tension between evolution and the faith Christians have in God’s account of creation. Here are a couple of quotes from an article written by Tania Lombrozo and published June 29, 2015, at https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2015/06/29/418289762/don-t-believe-in-evolution-try-thinking-harder (the National … Continue reading Your kids don’t believe in evolution?

Noah’s Days

danpearson1961

(Photo retrieved from https://www.gospelimages.com/paintings/11/noah-warns-the-people) 2Peter 2:5 says, “If He (God) did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;” Consider the fact that Noah did not labor in silence as he built the ark. Here, the the Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Peter, informs us that Noah was a “preacher of righteousness.”  The word in 2Peter 2:5 that’s rendered into English as “preacher” is κήρυκα, a form of κῆρυξ. A commonly used word in Greek antiquity outside of the NT, it often was used … Continue reading Noah’s Days

Evolution isn’t a salvation issue, and that’s the gospel truth!

danpearson1961

“The Bible was written long before scientists knew anything about the Earth, and modern scholars know that Genesis is a story meant to convey spiritual principles. The whole evolution thing; it’s not a salvation issue.” I hear statements like that frequently; enough to warrant me addressing the issue squarely. Bottom line up front: The theory of evolution (along with the multibillion-year age of the Earth, and the principle of biogenesis – that life arose from non-life) is a lie. They’re all lies. Please don’t lose sight of the fact that naturalistic explanations rule out the Bible, thereby removing God and … Continue reading Evolution isn’t a salvation issue, and that’s the gospel truth!

White as Snow?

danpearson1961

“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;”– Isaiah 1:18 The beauty of a snowy morning, as gorgeous as it looks, is only a poor comparison to the purity you will be given by Almighty God through the sacrifice made by Jesus. And… it’s already done! All you have to do is accept it; choose to claim the substitutionary death Jesus took for you, and you’ll have your way back to the God who made you. His promise began long before Jesus stepped through eternity … Continue reading White as Snow?

More Than a Carpenter – A Timeless Classic

danpearson1961

Many religions and philosophic pundits like to use some form of this sentence: “Jesus Christ was a good teacher.” They may accentuate some aspect of his public interactions in order to show his profound understanding of spirituality, or whatever may serve the conclusion they’re reaching for. But, was he really a good teacher? Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” If Jesus was a good teacher, then this should be true. If it isn’t true, then Jesus was wrong, crazy, or lying. Can a person who … Continue reading More Than a Carpenter – A Timeless Classic

What’s in an Age?

danpearson1961

https://weather.com/…/2018-06-15-vandals-destroy-brimham-ro… Firstly, why should the age of the Earth matter… OK, here’s an interesting read about the vandalizing of a beloved rock formation. Aside from the senseless act described by the headline, I can’t help but entertain a nagging suspicion that most of us will look at it and not give a second thought to this provocative question: How did someone decide the age of these rocks? How does anyone come to believe in the age of rocks, fossils, and other artifacts of supposed great age? One method used is to measure the ratio of parent-to-daughter elements in the material … Continue reading What’s in an Age?
