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?

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

Worshipping God: Have you begun the daily and personal worship of Almighty God?

danpearson1961

One “Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness.” Exodus 7:16, CSB   One evening, during prayer, I thought God said that I should begin praying to Him on a small rug that I’d purchased a few years earlier. “Nonsense,” I thought. “God wouldn’t say such a thing. It must have been my own brain saying that.” Having listened to my own brain in the past, and knowing the disastrous places it often led me to, I decided to not listen. Years later, I did listen. I began using that rug in my time with … Continue reading Worshipping God: Have you begun the daily and personal worship of Almighty God?

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?

But What About You…

danpearson1961

Arguing through a preconceived notion can be tricky.  Just ask Philip… Chapter One of the Gospel of John records the events of Jesus in the province of Galilee calling into service some of the Apostles. Beginning in verse 43: The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.” Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.  Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” “Nazareth! Can anything good … Continue reading But What About You…

Who Are You?

danpearson1961

Who Are You? Deep in the woods of Rockcastle County, away from the farms and the back roads, are two upright markers beside a pair of ground-level stones. The only one marked among the four identifies Lucinda Adams, who met her fate in the obscurity of rural Kentucky. She was preceded in death by two infant sons and a young daughter. Lucinda passed from this world a hundred and eighteen years ago. No one alive today knew her. The same year that Lucinda Adams was laid to rest beside the graves of her children in Kentucky, Albert Einstein received his … Continue reading Who Are You?
