If you see a watch, I hope you assume there’s a watchmaker. And if you see the precise atomic flux of the universe, I hope you don’t believe that happened by chance.Genesis 1:1 - "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."God is omnipotent in nature.An eloquent preacher once said, “God stepped from behind the curtain of nowhere and stood upon the platform of nothing and spoke a world into existence.”God is the creator of all that your hand can touch, your...

(Baltimore, Maryland)—British astrophysicists Dr. Karl Glazebrook and Dr. Ivan Baldry were at John Hopkins University in Baltimore when they discovered that the light emitted by 200,000 galaxies combined to produce the color beige.As reported in The Telegraph UK, the scientists actually dubbed the color "cosmic latte," although other suggested names for it were 'univeige' and 'skyvory'. (Photo: Xeno)Said Dr. Baldry: "Really the answer is very close to white. The colour is interesting b... Read Full Story

Classical evolutionary cosmology has the universe coming into being through a giant explosion of matter and energy called the Big Bang. The question that modern physics has struggled with for years asks whether there is enough mass in the universe to cause it to stop expanding at some point. Would the universe begin to collapse in on itself at some time in the future only to produce a second Big Bang?In 1997, researchers announced that not only is the universe expanding, but also it is expan...

If you live in a climate where fall brings colors to the leaves before they fall, you've probably noticed something strange. Once the leaves start to fall, the ground is littered with their color. But among all those fading leaves, you might find a perfectly healthy looking green leaf. Why is that leaf still green? That green leaf is probably the work of one of God's more amazing tiny insects.Several species of beetles, flies and moths go through a larval stage in which the larvae burrow int... Read Full Story

One wouldn't think that algae would be very interesting. We've all seen the stuff wherever there is water. But researchers have recently discovered an algae that would make a good star in a horror movie. The algae known as Caulerpa taxifolia was first seen in 1984 off the coast of Monaco. It covered only about a square yard of sea bottom, but it covered it completely, smothering all other plants.Only six years later, it had reached French waters.Four years after that, it had reached Spanish ...

I watched the most enjoyable interview this weekend on the wildly popular show Huckabee. He had his Shih Tzu on his lap as he interviewed Alexandra Horowitz, scientist and author of Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know, a book I have already read.Now Alexandra thinks we don't know enough about our dogs, and some of what we know is wrong. She is out to change our perception of dogs and to do it scientifically. She has to work at making herself a detached observer, though. She might... Read Full Story

Every bell made has its own tone, depending on its size, shape and composition. It turns out that the Earth, too, rings like a bell. This ringing, called free oscillation, is caused by earthquakes.A powerful earthquake in Chile in 1960 with a magnitude of 9.5 left the entire Earth ringing for days afterward. As the Earth rang, its entire surface rose and fell by a centimeter every 54 minutes. But it happened so slowly it could be detected only by sensitive instruments.It was while studying t...

The fish known as the loose jaw or dragon fish has been found to have some remarkable abilities. At most 10 inches long, this deep-sea fish lives at depths between 1,500 and 4,500 feet. At these depths, the only light that gets through the water is a dim blue light. As a result, sighted creatures that live at those depths can see well in dim blue light, but virtually none of them can see light in the red end of the spectrum. None, that is, but the dragon fish, and that's its secret weapon.Th... Read Full Story

It is an amazing thing to enter the wonderful world of insects. I have even been encouraged at times by learning more about insects. I know, you are probably thinking, 'Encouraged? I hate insects!' Well, there are some I would rather study from afar, but then there are those who delight, too!When I was a child and we visited my grandmother in Illinois, my favorite activity (besides eating her scrumptious cookies) was catching fireflies. Also, I remember my mother singing 'Glow little glow wo... Read Full Story

If one has the heart to learn, God can teach His principals through the most elementary elements of His nature. For example, He has taught me deep spiritual truths and wisdom through my love for trees!When I was going through a lonely and difficult time, He taught me that during the season of bareness, when the leaves fall from the maple, birch, and liquidambar trees, He is feeding my spiritual roots. It's a fact of nature, and it's also a spiritual truth I learned from watching bare trees.H... Read Full Story
