Fall 2024 Creation Video Series

danpearson1961

Naturalism says time & chance did it all. God said He did it all. Clearly, one of the two is wrong. Would you like to know more about the science of our young planet? Would you want a better understanding of what the Bible says about origins? Join us this Fall on Tuesday evenings from 7-8PM, beginning September 3rd, as we explore the latest in the sciences that the public education system won’t tell your kids. We’ll go through the videos Is Genesis History? and Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels. Is Genesis History presents how time can be measured, the purpose of … Continue reading Fall 2024 Creation Video Series

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

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?

Twenty cents in a wishing well

danpearson1961

Is it time you shrug off the paradigm of deep time? In the context of evaluating data by way of the scientific method, a paradigm is a construct within which such data is considered. I don’t mind one bit asserting that 2Peter 2:5-6 is a starting place for how I understand the geology of our planet. Although I’m very up front about my paradigm, I don’t always hear or read that kind of disclosure from old Earth scientists who, nevertheless, cling to their belief that the Earth multi-billions of years in age. But, that’s a topic for some other time. … Continue reading Twenty cents in a wishing well

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)

Why so many Crabs?

danpearson1961

The debate continues among secular scientists who seek to resolve the mystery as to why so many crab varieties exist by placing the question within the context of evolution. Their quest is futile. Crabs didn’t evolve. In fact, nothing evolved. But, “science” as it presents itself today ignores the most basic fact about their favored theory of origins: There is no theory of origins. I finished undergrad, and then did my graduate program, at a B&M university between 2009-2013. Fairly recent, I’d say. I chose to purchase physical textbooks as opposed to buying e-copies. My degrees are in the sciences.  I … Continue reading Why so many Crabs?

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

Why’s there a tree in the column? Post #2 in a series about the Global Flood

danpearson1961

The old Chevelle I began learning to drive as a teen had a three-speed manual transmission.  The shifting lever was on the steering column, and the pattern was in an H-shape with reverse at the near-top, first gear at the near-bottom, then second gear up at the far-top, and (finally!) third gear down at the far-bottom. That’s known as a “Three on the Tree” column shifter. As a kid just learning to drive, the manual transmission was hard enough to master without requiring my attention be drawn to the steering column as I aimed that screaming rocket sled down the … Continue reading Why’s there a tree in the column?

So, are you dating right now? Post #1 in a series on the global flood

danpearson1961

Focusing on the evidence, you ask yourself: “Can the self-watering system tell me the last time anyone was here?” That the flood occurred evokes measures of mirth in a good many of you.  You’re way past considering it.  It’s a fairy tale; a myth.  At best, it’s a fictional story included in the book of Genesis to give us religious messages. I disagree.  I believe the Genesis account of the global flood is not only true, but it provides accurate information that can unlock vast measures of scientific insight as to how and why the Earth looks & behaves as … Continue reading So, are you dating right now?

There’s a Gap in Your Day-Age

danpearson1961

I recently told friends that they had no reason to fear the book of Genesis, it’s account of creation, and the story of the global flood.  In fact, I said, they could embrace Genesis as truth without fear of what pop science would have them believe about the Earth. I’m convinced thoroughly that it’s so. Before I move on to offer reasons for Christians to applaud Genesis in future posts, let me first take on two half-measures that (though they should have been banished to the junkyard of false theories a long time ago) persist in the church to this … Continue reading There’s a Gap in Your Day-Age
