A loony moon origin story Once upon a time, there was this hot mess in the middle of an even more gigantic hot mess. Let’s call the little hot mess, Earth. And the bigger hot mess we’ll call the Solar System. There was an even bigger hot mess called the universe. But I don’t want this moon origin story to get too big, so … The rest of the story…

Did you know the beautiful rings of Saturn are debris? You’ve heard that old expression, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, right? Well, how about one planet’s debris is another planet’s beautiful scenery? That’s exactly what happens when we earthlings gaze at the rings of Saturn through our telescopes. You might say those rings are some delightful dust bunnies. But then you might … The rest of the story…
Gas giants (not the political ones) What do Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have in common? Besides being cool to look at through telescopes and space probe pictures, they’re all known as gas giants. (yeah, like most politicians) And that means they’re considered low density and made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. It’s good to know what they’re made of because that helps us … The rest of the story…
The age of Earth is as good as gold It’s sort of ironic how I use the expression, good as gold, to talk about the age of the earth. After all, good as gold is kind of an old expression. And maybe younger readers and listeners have never heard it. Well, you have now. And it’ll all make more sense shortly. This case against … The rest of the story…
Watered down truth I’m gonna share the watered down truth with you…but in a good way. “There’s a good way to share watered down truth?” you ask. Yes. And stick with me ’cause it’s purty interstin’. (misspelled on purpose to give it character) If you’re an adult (or at least resemble one in physical size and stature) you probably already know there’s a lot … The rest of the story…
Backwards and forwards – it’s all so confusing If you’re like most humans…and you are…then you like things to make sense. You don’t like it when life gets all backwards and forwards and discombobulated. (I love that two dollar word) And it makes total sense that you want things to make sense. But why is that? Since we’re all supposed to be here by … The rest of the story…
Thinking about thinking Now, there’s a thought for you. Thinking about thinking. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past few minutes because of what I read in a book called “In The Beginning” by Dr. Walt Brown. It’s THE best science book you’ve probably never read. And most so-called “scientists” would never dare to read. Why? Because it presents science with a bias … The rest of the story…
Living technology – Yeah, it’s a real thing! For the past week or two, each morning when I’m waking up with my first cups of coffee, I’ve been watching hummingbirds outside the front windows. They’re one of the smallest, yet one of the most amazing, birds around. It’s so cool how they can fly so fast and yet seem to stop on a dime … The rest of the story…
There is no i in TEAM How many times have you heard that said on TV, in movies, or on the sidelines at sporting events? There is no i in team – And have you noticed how many movies are starting to put teams together to solve a problem? Action movie heroes and antiheroes, like Rambo or The Terminator or 007 were the norm … The rest of the story…
Immune systems fight more than viruses and bacteria Did you know even plants and animals have immune systems? They do. And their immune systems work like ours. They’re able to spot an nasty invader like a virus or bacteria and immediately build up defenses against it. And they can even remember details about the attack so they function even faster next time. But imagine … The rest of the story…
Oh lovely, gold leaf Aspen tree, for life you can depend on me. I’m not a treehugger so why in the world would I be talking to a tree? I’m glad you asked. Because the largest living organism on the planet depends on me (and you) for life. And that’s another beautiful reason why creation is the best explanation for how we all got here. … The rest of the story…
Men and women are different, so you’re not an accident. You might look around and think the world has gone mad when it comes to genders. Or then again, you might think it’s only beginning to make sense. (you’d be wrong, of course) But here’s something you can’t argue against, successfully…at least not if you wanna face facts and not just feelings: Men and … The rest of the story…
If you knew there was an elephant in the room, would you feed it? I’m sure you’ve heard that expression…right? When there’s an obvious problem, but no one is talking about it or seems to want to talk about it, that’s the metaphorical way of putting it…there’s an elephant in the room. But what if that problem was a lie everybody was willing to … The rest of the story…
Caterpillar Metamorphosis – Quite a change! If you’d really like somebody to change…or if certain people are making you mad, tell them to go liquefy themselves. I bet that’s something they’d never expect you to say. The reason I use that term is because that’s what a caterpillar does to become a butterfly. It actually liquefies itself. Can you imagine?! It’s known as caterpillar … The rest of the story…
What does a dependent variable have to do with life? When I was a younger guy, there was a popular singer who went by the name of Nilsson. One of my favorite songs by him was called “Without You”. And the main line said, “Can’t live, if living is without you.” Now, you might call that a metaphorical dependent variable…or at least I would…because … The rest of the story…
Information is beautiful! When you dig deep into the building blocks of human existence, you find DNA. And that doesn’t stand for Do Not Ask. It’s actually the abbreviation for Deoxyribonucleic acid. Of course, that’s a fancy schmancy name for genetic information. Even Wikipedia will tell you that. But what Wikipedia won’t generally tell you…at least not without a struggle…is where it all comes from. … The rest of the story…
These two objects may appear closer than they are You’ve seen that little notice on the passenger side mirror on cars, right? The one that says “objects may appear closer than they are”. Well, something like that. 🙂 That’s a good description of the two “objects” I’m gonna talk about today. You…and your monkey’s uncle. Or cousin, or great-great-great-great grandfather. In other words…humans and … The rest of the story…
Building walls is essential for your life. I’m sure you’ve heard someone use that cliché to describe someone else who appears to be shutting everyone out. “She’s just building walls, and she won’t let anyone in!” You’ve heard that…right? Well, I’m here to share with you how you couldn’t even survive without some walls being built. Don’t believe it? Want me to explain? Good. … The rest of the story…
Have you ever noticed the complexity in life? And have you ever wondered how the complexity in life could have gotten that way if things started out so simply? Well, if you haven’t wondered about it, plenty of people have…including scientists, philosophers, atheists, and of course those who believe in the one, true, living, loving God of creation. One noted (and boldly affirmed) atheist, … The rest of the story…
You are awesome! And that’s not an accident. When you look deeply into the structure of your human body…right down to the proteins, amino acids, and every cell…you’ll discover you are awesome. And with all our advanced microscope technology, I can’t imagine anyone wanting or deciding to believe all that complexity could have gotten here by random chance in only a few billion years. … The rest of the story…
