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.

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?

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

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!

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?

Majestic Moth?

danpearson1961

This morning I killed a moth. As incredible as any living thing, the capabilities of a common moth are quite astounding, if you’ll just take a moment to think about them.  Some moths, for instance, have so sensitive an array of sensing organs that males can detect pheromones from a female of his species at distances of up to five miles away.  Five miles!  Can you imagine?  Consider how small moths are, how infinitesimal the pheromones must be that are put out by a single little female moth, and how vast the volume of air is between she and her … Continue reading Majestic Moth?
