I only wrote 23 posts in 2014, so my readership was down a bit. That's OK; I just have a lot of other things going on. Because of this, nine of the ten most-read posts on The GeoChristian were actually ones written in previous years. The top ten most-read posts on the GeoChristian in 2014: …

Excuses and plans
As you may have noticed, I haven't been blogging much lately. Here are my basic excuses: I have had a very busy summer at work. The family keeps me busy. These are both good things, but they haven't left much time for writing. My third excuse is that I've had a bad case of writer's …
1000
This is my one thousandth post on The GeoChristian. I haven't written very much so far in 2012. It isn't that I have run out of ideas, but life has been busy and the blog has been pushed aside by more important matters. I started this blog six years ago because I was passionate about …

Time Magazine — Top 10 scientific discoveries for 2007
Time magazine's top ten science stories for 2007 include: #1 -- Stem cell breakthrough. It looks like we can now do everything from a person's own skin cells; there is no medical need for research with embryonic stem cells. As pro-life advocates have been saying all along, therapies developed from a person's own cells are …

Geometry Movies
There are two types of people in the world: those who preferred geometry in high school, and those who preferred algebra. I preferred algebra. But whether you liked geometry or algebra--or even if you hated them both--you will enjoy the following geometry movies. Not Knot Part 1 and Part 2 -- All about knots. Outside …
Free advertising
The Evangelical Ecologist recently promoted my site; I'll return the favor. This is a site I go to daily. Ron Schott's Geology Home Companion recently added The GeoChristian to his blogroll. This site is for the more geologically-minded.
Why Blog?
The version of WordPress that I am using for The GeoChristian gives me better statistical information about my blog than I got back when I blogged at "The Earth is Not Flat!" I not only get a count of how many views I have on a day to day basis, which I had before, but …
Change of Name, Change of Location
The Earth is Not Flat! is moving, and is changing its name. The new name is The GeoChristian. The new location is geochristian.wordpress.com Here are some of the reasons: The name "GeoChristian" reflects who I am much more strongly than "The Earth is Not Flat!" did. I always had to explain what I meant by …
Back into blogging
We had friends over for dinner last night, and I was asked, "Why aren't you blogging anymore?" I really had no good answer, so here I am, back in front of the keyboard. I pray that my blog entries will help to keep you informed, stimulate your thoughts, sometimes entertain you, and always glorify the …
NOVA and Frontline programs online
PBS has made some of its NOVA and Frontline programs available online: NOVA Online Frontline Online I watched "Life's Greatest Miracle" last night, which is about human sexual reproduction (It is a remake of the older "Miracle of Life" video). It was excellent; though I wouldn't want to show the extended bikini-babes-on-the-beach scene in class. …
Is anybody out there?
No, this is not a post about SETI (the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence). A few months ago, someone emailed me asking for links to blogs that are similar to mine. I said that I didn't know of any. The only other science-related blog by a Christian that I regularly read is The Evangelical Ecologist, but …
Yippee!!!
I had a busy week at school, with several 12-14 hour days. I preached this morning at our church, Biserica Trinitatea (Trinity church), and preparation for that consumed the rest of my life. Now I have a few hours of freedom (I think). Yippee!!! Grace and Peace
Back in business
Those of you who tried viewing The Earth is Not Flat! in the past week were greeted with an "out of order" message from WordPress. I couldn't get any further, and at one point was informed by the Yahoo Small Business people that I may have lost everything. I have backup files, but because of …
One year of “The Earth is Not Flat!”
Happy Birthday to "The Earth is Not Flat!" "The Earth is Not Flat!" had its humble beginning on March 16, 2006. This is the 209th post, and I have had 6170 page views (whatever that means -- is that visits by people, or are many of those visits by automated systems?) I named this blog …
Nobel Prizes 2006
The three 2006 science Nobel Prizes—for physics, chemistry, and medicine—have all been awarded to Americans. Chemistry — awarded to Roger Kornberg of Stanford University, for his work on the transcription of DNA to messenger RNA. Physics — awarded to George Smoot of UC-Berkeley and John Mather of NASA for their discovery of small variations of …
Still on the road
I've not been posting much, and that won't change until sometime in mid-August. We have been in 17 states in the past eight weeks (all by automobile), visiting supporters, supporting churches, family, and friends. Most of the time we have had dial-up internet access, or no access at all. We have plane tickets to return …
Birthday gifts #2
I also got a "An Earth Scientist's Periodic Table of the Elements and Their Ions." The "normal" periodic table is useful for chemistry, but not as useful for the earth sciences. In the earth's crust the elements almost always exist in the form of ions: oxygen as O2-, silicon as Si4+, the metals in their …
Birthday gifts #1
Not only was yesterday (May 17th) Norwegian Independence Day, it was my birthday. Shirley bought me a Martin Luther mug. On the other side it says: "The Bible is a remarkable fountain: the more one draws and drinks of it, the more it stimulates thirst." --Martin Luther Thanks, Shirley. Grace and Peace
Christian Scientists (????)
Here's a pet peeve among those of us who are "scientists who are also Christians." The natural phrase would be "Christian scientists" but we can't say that; the phrase has been hijacked by a cult. Grace and Peace
