Lost in space
Gene Edward Veith had the following post on his Cranach blog today: Jesus as space traveller Our guest pastor, Charles St.-Onge, must have left a strong impression, since he brought up so many things that are still on my mind. He told about astrophysicist Carl Sagen trying to shoot down the Ascension of Christ. He …
Earthquakes and the End Times
This item was originally posted on April 18, 2006 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. It is now part of my blog recycling program. Because I have more people reading The Earth is Not Flat! now than I did a year ago, I will occasionally go back and …
The Purpose of the Universe
This item was originally posted in March, 2006. It is now part of my blog recycling program. Because I have more people reading The Earth is Not Flat! now than I did a year ago, I will occasionally go back and re-use some of my best blog entries. This entry highlights the truth that the …
Even the skeptics are skeptical
I posted last week about the Discovery Channel "documentary" "The Lost Tomb of Jesus". My one word summary was, "absurd." Don't lose sleep over this one; even the folks at Scientific American magazine (who are normally not very friendly to Christianity) are ripping this one apart. Says Scholar Whose Work Was Used in the Upcoming …
Absurd
Absurd. That is how I summarize my thoughts about the upcoming Discovery Channel "documentary" "The Lost Tomb of Jesus". If you've missed all the hoopla over this, here's the story in brief: Archeologists discover a tomb near Jerusalem. People who are buried there have names such as Yeshua (Jesus), Maria, and Joseph. Movie producer James …
A deluded atheist and an honest atheist
Gene Edward Veith, at his Cranach blog, has a link to an intriguing review of evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins' new book The God Delusion. Dawkins has long been an evangelist for atheism, and is most famous for his books The Blind Watchmaker and The Selfish Gene. The review, written by atheist Shannon Love, is found …
Electron transport chain and ATP synthase animations
ATP synthase moves me to worship the Creator. Every cell on Earth, from simple bacteria to human brain cells, needs a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate; pictured to the left) in order to do a wide variety of tasks. ATP is used as the cell's energy molecule; the source of energy for everything from cell …

The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy
The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy is a standard Evangelical statement of what is—and what is not—meant by the term "inerrancy." In regards to science and the scripture, the statement has article XII, which says: We affirm that Scripture in its entirety is inerrant, being free from all falsehood, fraud, or deceit. We deny that …

White Horse Inn
In Bucharest, we attend a Romanian-language church, and often don't get all that much out of the sermons. When we need a dose of solid English-language teaching, we download a John Piper sermon from Desiring God. My favorite radio program is The White Horse Inn, produced by the same people who put together Modern Reformation …
Earthquakes and the End Times
Since today is the 100th anniversary of the great San Francisco earthquake... "There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains." Matthew 24:7,8 ESV A common "fact" proclaimed in Bible end-times prophecy books (Hal Lindsey and others), radio broadcasts, and on numerous web sites is …
One Flew Over the ID Nest
Does nature point to a Creator? The Scriptures teach that we should expect it to: "The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." …
