One Foot and a Sail

Fri, 24 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

It was about 50 years ago that Chinese immigrants to the United States brought some freshwater clams with them. It is known that today the clam is found in at least 35 states. That's an amazing amount of territory to cover in only 50 years for a creature that only has one foot.

It's not exactly a plant, but it's not completely an animal either. It crawls like an animal and then grows fruits and sows seed like a plant on colorful stalks. Sometimes it acts like a single-celled creature with a refined social order. And sometimes all those single living cells fuse into one giant organism.

Traces of What Man Once Was?

Wed, 22 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Plants Focus Light

Tue, 21 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

In many ways, a plant is like a machine that changes the energy of sunlight into food energy that is needed by the rest of the living world. The energy which runs the plant is light.

Why Does it Rain?

Mon, 20 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

In grade school we were taught how temperature, dew point and moisture in a cloud could condense around a tiny ice crystal to form a drop of rain. But scientists are not really all that sure how raindrops form.

A Frog's Creative Broadcasting Solution

Fri, 17 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

If you live in a large city, especially one that is surrounded by other large cities, you know that the radio dial can become very crowded. To prevent the radio dial from turning into incomprehensible gibberish, radio stations are assigned a frequency on which to operate.

Caterpillars' Diet Choices

Thu, 16 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Your 20-Watt Brain

Fri, 10 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Picture in your mind the sight and sounds of popcorn popping. As you picture the popping becoming more frantic as the popper fills up, do you begin to smell the popcorn? That's part of the wonder of the brain. The brain can not only store words and ideas, but sights, sounds and even smells.

Genetic Music

Thu, 09 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

The entire creation is woven together on an invisible cloth of mathematics. Since mathematics is also the basis of music, the creation is often more filled with music than we think. In fact, Christians ought to think twice before dismissing as figurative those Bible passages about the whole creation praising its Creator.

A Busy Protein

Wed, 08 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Blood is made up of many components. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body. And even though hemoglobin is based on iron, the healthy body, protected by rust inhibitors, doesn't rust. White cells and other blood components fight infection. It's difficult to decide which of the components of blood are more amazing in their design.

A Giant Wave of Water

Tue, 07 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

What's the biggest wave you've ever seen on a lake or the ocean? Some scientists are now saying that there is evidence that in ancient times a wave over 1,000 feet tall swept over parts of the Earth, creating some of its geological features.

Language Studies Tell Us About Ourselves

Mon, 06 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Stars that Are Too Fast?

Fri, 03 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

The stars are among the most beautiful and powerful evidences for our Creator. While there are billions of them, no two seem to be identical. Even so, they can be classified into groups.

Natural Human Language

Thu, 02 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

According to evolution, human language began to develop when ape-like creatures started to grunt and make other noises at each other. Eventually they agreed on meanings for these sounds and language was born. According to the Bible, language is a gift of our Creator, Who is the source of all language. He made us to have fellowship with Him. He gave us language as an important part of our relationship with God.

Quick Coal

Wed, 01 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

How is coal made? How long does it take? Scientists did not know the answers to these questions until the last few years. Despite this lack of knowledge, textbooks have taught for generations that it takes millions of years to make coal. This was another supposed proof that the Bible’s view of history is wrong.

What Meteorologists Think About “Greenhouse”

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

What do professional meteorologists think about claims that the Earth is undergoing a greenhouse effect because of man’s activities? Scientific opinion is growing that there is nothing to the idea that the Earth is either warming or in danger of warming under the proposed influence of the greenhouse effect. More in the scientific community are also becoming increasingly outspoken in their opposition to the false science used to support the idea that man’s activities are causing the Earth to become warmer.

Millions of Dollars Per Pound

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Sometimes information can be so simplified that it becomes deceiving. All of us have heard that the human body is made up of only a few dollars worth of chemicals. However, that commonly repeated statement doesn’t reflect what’s really in the human body.

Pawpaw Surprise

The mechanism God designed to protect the fruit of the pawpaw tree from being eaten before its seeds are ripe may provide powerful, new anti-cancer drugs and a powerful, safe insecticide. The pawpaw tree, with its custard-like fruit, is common all over the eastern United States.

Self-Esteem and Forgiveness

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

We hear a lot about “self-esteem” today. The “self-esteem movement,” made up of some religious teachers and psychologists, seeks to make people feel better about themselves without making any reference to sin or the need for forgiveness. Some religious teachers have even said that Christianity should stop talking about sin. Because the movement is associated with psychology, many mistakenly believe that the claims of the “self-esteem movement” have a scientific basis. They do not.

Stars Are Dying Too Fast

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

The Bible tells us that the entire universe is decaying and dying because of the burden of sin. We know from Scripture that the entire heavens and Earth as we know it will someday be destroyed by fire to make way for a new creation. The Bible also indicates that the entire creation is young.

Lightning-Like Vision

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Your eyes are quicker than anyone ever thought.

For you to see an image, a huge number of chemical and electrical reactions must take place in sequence. Science still does not fully understand all the reactions. Science does know that each set of chemical or electrical reactions must take place in a sequence that leads to the next set of reactions. Obviously, each of these reactions in the chain must take place extremely rapidly for us to see what is happening while it is still happening.

Can Science Beat Death?

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Are we programmed to die? Scientists who have been studying the aging process hold one of two positions.

One school of thought says that death takes place when too many of our body’s parts simply wear out from use. The other school says that death is programmed into our genes. As a result, they believe that there are built-in limits to how long we can live.

Destruction from Space?

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Another Miracle of Sight

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

The eye is a chemical and technological wonder. It would take thousands of carefully directed mutations for an eyeless creature to develop sight. And since a partial eye doesn’t provide sight, each of these thousands of mutations would offer no advantage to the creature.

Flipperpithicus

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Creation Scientists have often complained that evolutionists seem unscientifically eager to turn any ancient fossil into proof of human evolution. In the past, bones from pigs, monkeys, alligators, horses and even an elephant have been “reconstructed” into missing links between humans and ape-like creatures.

Your Fail-Safe Heart
