If you think plants are simple, you would be wrong. According to those who believe that all living things are a result of evolution, life evolved from simple to complex. Plants, which are simpler than animals, are believed to have evolved before animals. When we started learning about the genetic codes of living things, it was expected that plants would have simpler genetic codes than complex living things. This is turning out not to be the case.Almost 300 researchers completed their work in... Read Full Story

I had tried to talk my customer out of buying such a large ficus benjamina, explaining a smaller tree would acclimate better to her home environment. But she couldn't wait for the tree to grow, so now, three months later, she was lamenting a bare trunk and stems sitting in her dark den. A younger tree would not have rebelled so violently and would have retained most of its leaves.Human beings are a lot like plants: the younger we start teaching them about Jesus and His love, the greater the ...

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7When I bought Buster he was a playful six-week-old ShihTzu puppy with a tail that wagged twice as fast as any I'd ever seen. I named him "Metronome in Cut-Time", but I called him Buster. When he was twelve weeks old he witnessed the accidental self-hanging of his older friend, Sassy. Then there were the earthquakes. Poor Buster is not the same. Oh, he's still playful and confident when he's in ... Read Full Story

This photo on the left is Summer at a mill in Idaho. See how happy the tree leaves look? And why shouldn't they be happy? They are well-watered, have plenty of sunshine, and they have been programmed by The Creator to "show off" their plumage! it's like every thing is wonderful and will never change. Now, the photo on the right is of the same mill, but the Season is Autumn.What few leaves are left are either gold, red, or crusty brown. Are these trees full of angst over the changing season? ...

Whales pose some interesting problems for those who believe that all living things slowly evolved to their present forms over millions of years. According to evolution, sea creatures gradually adapted to life on land because they could make a better living there. That's where mammals supposedly evolved. Then, for some unknown reason, some of those mammals – Darwin said it was the bear – decided to return to the sea.This required the mammal ancestors of the whale to lose their leg... Read Full Story

This week has been abuzz about the alleged corruption of the whole global warming (climate change) religion. I have found it most interesting!Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world's leading climate scientists during the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online.The computer files were apparently accessed earlier this week from servers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, a world-renowned centre focused on...

Modern psychologists and social engineers generally hold that children are born innocent. Any evil they do is learned from those around them. Based upon this notion, they advise that children should not be spanked because that spanking only teaches violence. This modern teaching contradicts the biblical teaching that we are born in original sin, inherited from Adam. Belief in original sin is accepted in some form by most Christians, Jews and practically everyone who has ever raised children!... Read Full Story

When you are a small animal whose diet could injure or even kill you, eating can be positively dangerous. That danger increases if you belong to a family of animals that normally takes minutes or even hours to swallow a victim.An adult Texas threadsnake is only about six or eight inches long, a little thicker than a strand of spaghetti and has a jaw unlike any other creature. It eats ants – ants that could seriously injure or kill it.As you may know, snakes generally take several minut... Read Full Story

So you are a 'Creationist' and believe God created all things. How long do you think it took God to create all things in heaven and earth? Do you take "on the first day" literally? Or do you think a day could have been a 'as a thousand years'? "Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together." (Isaiah 48:13) This is one of many passages in Scripture which not only tells us that God is Creator of b... Read Full Story
