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

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

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
