Opponents of Christianity love to promote the idea that the Bible just doesn't match up with what modern science has discovered about our universe.  They claim that the science contained in the Bible is just "myth" or nice stories.  Not true!  Here is a short discussion along with a PDF of my notes from Genesis Chapter 1.

Way too many people are phobic about using genetic technology to create better varieties of food-producing plants.  Yet, like any technology, genetic manipulation can be wrongly used.  Here are some thoughts on the matter.

It's been a long while since I posted here.  Really, I have no excuse.  However, to rectify that situation I am working on a series of posts dealing with my thoughts concerning the shutdown of the churches in America.  I'm not going to start posting that series until I get them all finished, otherwise you would likely get the first few and the end would never come.  In the meantime, I have some posts that ha

Below is an excerpt from a paragraph I wrote this morning.  As I reviewed it I was struck with how, in this time of crisis, many people need to hear it’s message.  So, I’m posting it here for you to read and pass on as you see fit.  I hope it speaks to you.

So, here is something kind of off-track from my usual posts......My oldest son (currently residing in Canada) posted a link to the launch of the latest test of the NASA/Space X crew transport rocket/capsule.  It was really cool to watch and a true accomplishment for America’s space industry.  Here is a copy of our (slightly edited) Discord dialog:

Well, it's another snow day. Third in a row for this math teacher. I live in Eugene but work in Oakridge, 45 miles up Hwy 58 toward Willamette Pass. Oakridge has been without power and completely cut off from the outside world for about 5 days now. I can't help but wonder how the children I teach are doing. Most people rely on electricity to heat their homes, so my kids are likely really struggling with the cold. Only those who have wood or propane heat to supplement will be warm.
