Some of my favorite verses in the Bible are found in Hebrews 1:1-4 [link]. And as a person interested in Science the word radiance [link] continues to catch my attention every time I read it. Another word for radiance is effulgence [link] which simmers with outcasting of energy in the very pronunciation of the word. [...]

“Ooooh, layers!”
Posted in Creation Articles, General, tagged Creation Articles on August 25, 2007 | 1 Comment »
“Ooooh, layers!” exclaims the donkey to the ogre. But he still didn’t understand and I’m not talking par-fey or onions but polystrate fossils. It’s neither a personality thing nor a cause of hardening of the arteries. I guess you’ll just have to read by clicking on God’s Gift to Creationists (6th in a [...]

As it says in “About”, I like climbing. Rock climbing, bouldering, sport and trad climbing, and top roping all qualify. It’s a jargon thing. The woods are peaceful, the challenge is intense, and the exercise is one of a kind. I’m so thankful to God to be healthy enough at 40 something to do this. [...]

The evidence cries out, fully on display! On Display is a poem that I wrote about two years ago as my heart filled with the mind boggling array of how God represents Himself in nature.
Everyone loves symmetry. As I was reminded as I am participating in a curriculum workshop at William and Mary College this week, “Physicists love symmetry”. Observers of beauty, whether of your beloved’s form or “peak flower” bloom or architecture or tree bole or interior decoration, love symmetry. Music and poetry have popular appeal when there [...]
