Creation from nothing? Earth was formless …
The earth was formless, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. I think my title summarized the second verse of Genesis pretty well. My software to analyze my chances of ranking well of Google didn't like it at all ...
How does rest influence the seven days of creation?
Sometimes we need to take a break. And if we really need one and don't take it, God might tell us to lie down in green pastures. I've been there. Done that. And apparently, needed to do it again. And that got me to a day of rest. Actually, a ...
Lithium and energy independence. Will God’s creation be destroyed again?
Deep in the Southern California desert, a massive drill rig taps into what could be the energy of the future. That’s the opening line from an NBC News article. But my question isn’t just about lithium and energy independence. No. I want to ask if, yet again, will God’s creation ...
If Christians are a new creation, why isn’t everything perfect?
A new creation - 2 Corinthians 5:17 in context

Did God really create everything in six 24-hour days?
Did God really create everything in six 24-hour days? Is it seven days of creation or seven creation days? Is that wordplay? Or is there really a difference? The two are not at all the same. And they make a huge difference in whether or not the so-called seven days ...

Lots of people recognize the words, In the beginning, as the first three words in the Bible. Or, more properly, as the first three words in the Torah. But how many people ask, which beginning? ...

What are we really doing when we say someone's in "a better place"? Being nice? We think so. Lying? Probably. Is being honest better? ...
Evolution debate will soon be history?
