EXTINCTION AND THE FLOOD
Change in geology and in nature occurs over eons of time at the rate of processes we observe now: the instruction I received in science classes at school. Well, all that proven “fact” seems to have changed considerably...

SCIENCE AND THE INVISIBLE GOD
Those who demand that we pay attention to science only, and not to what they call "superstition", claiming that science and faith are incompatible, are on very shaky ground.

No more than a few years ago political correctness would point a finger at you (hypocritically) and tell you not to judge. Now, under wokeness, the originating mentality has come entirely out of its closet.
PASSING ON ENCOURAGEMENT
Just when I begin to think that my writing isn't turning anyone on, or that it isn't helping anyone, and just when I begin to think it's time to hang up my keyboard, I get a little more encouragement to go on.

Macro-evolution and faith are incompatible, yes: there's no doubt about that. But don't confuse true science with evolutionism.
WAS ADOLPH HITLER A CHRISTIAN?
I cannot help stating here very plainly that Jesus’ message was exactly opposite to that of Hitler’s, that the two names should not even be mentioned in the same breath, and that attempting to paint a link between the two is, in the case of a Professor of History who should know better and probably does, blasphemy.

They knew without doubt that he was claiming to be God (Matthew 26:63-66) and they had him executed, in shame and apparently humiliating defeat. What they didn't know was that they were fulfilling the will of the Father all along.

RAPTURE AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
What did Paul mean when he said that the power of evil will be held back until the one who holds it back is taken away? I answer that question here, in written form
