Science for Everyone!
If you’re a science geek like me, then you’ll appreciate Robert Krampf’s science experiment videos. They take relatively complex (nothing major) and explain them in very simple terms. And there’s no reading involved … just watch the videos.

AiG On Distant Starlight
Answers in Genesis, the most notable Young Earth Creationist ministry in America, has published an article today that addresses one of my main concerns with YEC.
Have a look, if you have the stomach for it. It’s long and a little in-depth for the average reader, but feel free to take a look and let me [...]
Revisiting Youth
OK, lately I’ve been criticized from both sides of the issue concerning my position on the age of the Earth/Universe. I can’t say it was unexpected, as I had already addressed the fact that both sides consider me to be in error in one respect or another, hence my being “Caught in the Middle“.
But [...]
Caught in the Middle
With the recent events happening here at the blog, it’s really made me realize how much I really am caught in the middle of two opposing scientific philosophies.
On the one hand, I feel like I’ve been given false information about origins science for the vast majority of life. Not intentionally, of course … the [...]
A New Series
OK, so here’s what I’ve been thinking lately … the Dangerous Questions series has been extremely successful. Every week, the latest Dangerous Question tops the stats as one of the most read stories of the week.
But in reality, the series has run its course, and I think it’s time for it to come to an [...]
Domestication — Proof of Darwinism?
Over the last few months, because of my desire to own a dog sometime in the future, I’ve been studying breeds. Of course, the breed of choice for my house would be a beagle, and studying the history of the beagle makes for some interesting questions.
You see, all domesticated dogs in use today by humans [...]
The Grand Canyon
How did it get there?
Since I happen to be a church-going Christian, and a lover of science, I have two groups of people telling me 2 different things. The scientists tell me that over millions (billions?) of years the relatively small Colarado river slowly eroded the rock and the canyon was formed. Of course, clergy [...]
We’re Working On It
“…We’re working on it…”
This is an often-used phrase by Richard Dawkins, probably the most famous atheist on earth. He uses this phrase many times during interviews when the interviewer asks a question about the origin of life or the universe. Is it a cop-out? I don’t think so. But it is rather unsatisfying, both to [...]
Disprove Darwin, and Deduct to Design
Matthew, a reader and frequent commenter here (as well as a guest writer … many moons ago), wrote an interesting article a while back on his blog on the reasoning behind the push to disprove Darwinism. He claims that if it could be done (disproving Darwinism), then by deductive reasoning it could be assumed [...]
Intelligent Design — A Fundamental Question
MikeGene from Telic Thoughts, one of my favorite Intelligent Design blogs, writes today,
What is Intelligent Design? If you ask a critic, he will probably tell you that ID is a disguised version of Creationism and nothing more than a Trojan Horse to get God taught in the public schools. If you ask a typical proponent [...]
