To the extent possible, I want you to place yourself in the shoes of the ancient Hebrew writer. You have no “modern” scientific knowledge. You don’t know that stars are balls of gas. You don’t know how big the world really is, etc. (That is NOT to say they were...
Today, I want to hear from you! Is there something in particular you are learning right now? Something God is teaching you through study and/or prayer? To the extent possible, I want to keep a pulse on those God has tasked me with serving. It’s so much easier to know...
The Core Academy of Science, led by Dr. Todd Wood, has been instrumental in terms of my growth as a creationist and—frankly—as a Christian. Todd is a pretty well-known figure in the “New Creationism” I’m always harping about. In fact, he is one the leading researchers...
