    [__ Science __ ] Could a Wooden Ark Survive the Flood?

    Wooden ships that large will always leak; there's no way to stop flexing. But so long as you can pump out the water, the ship will stay afloat. The best way to solve the problem is to build an Ark, load it up with people and animals with enough food for a year, and see how it works. I'm...

    [__ Science __ ] Death, Friend of Evolution

    I've seen many young people come to me in crisis, having been falsely taught that YE creationism is Biblical, and then realizing that YE creationism cannot be true. YE creationism is a very efficient atheist-maker. This is the real damage it does to God's Church.

    [__ Science __ ] How Could Geology Possibly Affect Spiritual Truth?

    Just pointing out that the people who conflate the Koine Greek term "kosmos" with the whole world, are completely wrong. When Caesar ordered a census of the "kosmos", it meant the Roman world, not the entire Earth. And the meaning of the word relates to order and function, not a physical...

    [__ Science __ ] How Could Geology Possibly Affect Spiritual Truth?

    There is no conflict between God's physical creation and His spiritual truths. But there are many, many people who have denied His physical creation to maintain their own interpretations of His spiritual truths. 2 Peter 3:3–6 Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last...

    [__ Science __ ] Why science will not (and cannot) replace faith

    Predictions in the early to mid 20th century that religion would come to an end in the face of increasing scientific knowledge have been proven wrong. While some sects of some religions have seen a marked drop in participation, faith itself remains strong. In some nations, the trend is...

    [__ Science __ ] What Really Separates Us?

    We've come a long way since some denominations held that segregation and white supremacy were God's will. But racism is wounded, not dead, in many denominations. Thank God for the progress, and work to make us all brothers and sisters in Christ.

    [__ Science __ ] How Could All the Animals Fit on the Ark?

    However, experience has shown that many, many people have been in error as to what God actually said in scripture. And that's where people mess up in interpreting the Ark story. Seems to me an easy way to test this. Build an ark, load it up with the required animals and people let it drift...

    [__ Science __ ] How Could All the Animals Fit on the Ark?

    John Woodmorappe wrote an attempt to scientifically justify the Ark holding all those animals. He suggested to me, in an email conversation, that "kind" should include species, genera, and families. He thought that this would allow a pair of each "kind" to be on board. The feeding and...

    [__ Science __ ] A Christian has found the cure of autism.

    This is an important point. Often, people on the spectrum have talents and abilities that they would not have if they were not neurodivergent. Ron is a great example of that. People interested in this subject might want to read Oliver Sacks' An Anthropologist on Mars.

    You should know that "moron" is not a medical or psychiatric term. It's considered offensive. Please don't use that term for those with low intelligence. The Clinical History of 'Moron,' 'Idiot,' and 'Imbecile' https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/moron-idiot-imbecile-offensive-history

    [__ Science __ ] A Christian has found the cure of autism.

    Detox will do nothing for genetic issues. It's taught in medical schools, so I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Sounds a bit paranoid.

    [__ Science __ ] The Evidence Is In: We’re Alone in the Universe

    The same reasoning was used to "prove": There are no black swans. God can't make a triangle with interior angles summing to other than 180 degrees. It's impossible for a species of animal to go extinct. It's impossible for a species of animal to evolve from a different species. Just saying...

    [__ Science __ ] A Christian has found the cure of autism.

    I had a student who was pretty far out on the spectrum. He really liked science, and sometimes would attempt to stay in the classroom at passing period to get a second science class. When he graduated, he lived with his parents on the farm. When his dad said that he'd need to build a...

    [__ Science __ ] Did Noah Need Oxygen on the Ark?

    Yes. If it was possible for five miles of water to be added to the Earth, then gravity would increase a bit and the oxygen content at the surface would be essentially the same as it is now.

    [__ Science __ ] A Christian has found the cure of autism.

    It's been known for a long time that genetics plays a key role in autism. However, there are environmental factors, even if they aren't the most important factors: Diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (also referred to here as autism), a condition that arises during early brain...
