This list contains discussions and essays I have written over the years. Most have never been shared. They represent my thoughts and interpretations. Many are works in progress and will be updated as I continue the work. They are often suggested by a friend's question. As I ponder my response, I write down my thoughts. These are the results. They are being shared here after encouragement from other readers. Please read patiently.
Evaluating the "Silurian Hypothesis"
The “bold theory” of a Silurian-level civilization may capture headlines, but the even bolder, and historically grounded, reality is the preflood world and the Flood that reshaped our planet because of sin.
The Kinsman-Redeemer in the Book of Ruth
Sunday School Lesson, June 7, 2026
Ruthenium in Hawaiian Lava Flows
Findings like the Hawaiian ruthenium traces remind us that observable geology today, mantle plumes carrying deep material, echoes the far greater activity of the Flood.
Consciousness: Breathed by the Creator
Consciousness calls us to humility before our Creator and to wonder at the gift we have received. It points us to the God who offers not simulation, but genuine relationship, redemption, and eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Weighing the Earth
From Cavendish’s laboratory to satellite orbits, from seismic waves to the fountains of the deep, every measurement of Earth’s mass and core points back to the God of the Bible.
The Earth’s Magnetic Field
The Earth’s magnetic field, core dynamics (including its pre-Flood water content), and heat budget beautifully integrate with Scripture and observational data in a young-earth model.
Dembski and Marks on the Conservation of Information
When science itself declares that information requires intelligence, we are reminded once again that it is “OK to believe.” God keeps His promises. His Word stands firm. The evidence in the rocks, in the genes, and now in the mathematics of information theory all converge on one glorious truth: “For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible… all things were created through Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16).
Nephi’s “great many thousand years”
Both internal Book of Mormon parallels and Hebrew linguistic patterns make “approximately 4,000 years” a fully plausible reading of what Nephi intended. The phrase is rhetorical emphasis on deep antiquity, not a demand for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
Coal Formation and the Global Flood
The coal beneath our feet is not evidence of slow, uniform processes over eons. It is a monument to God’s judgment and mercy, the same Flood that destroyed a wicked world also preserved the remains of His once-lush creation for us to study today.
Has God Rejected His People?
Romans 11:1, along with its linguistic force, broader scriptural covenants, historical setting, and the witness of restoration theology, confirms that replacement theology finds no support in Scripture. God faithfully remembers the genetic descendants of Abraham with irrevocable promises and literal gathering. He also extends mercy to every descendant of Adam and Noah through the gospel.
Satan’s Alternate Histories
The biblical account stands as the only history that is internally consistent, prophetically verified, and archaeologically supported when examined without anti-supernatural bias. Jesus Himself affirmed the Flood as literal history (Matthew 24:37-39; Luke 17:26-27), using it as a warning for His return.
Say to This Mountain
While the primary thrust is spiritual (faith accessing God’s miracle-working power), the historical setting, Roman presence, pagan temples carved into the mountain, and landscape-altering public works, infuses the saying with quiet defiance. True faith in the living God can “move” the greatest obstacles, including oppressive empires, not by human might but by divine decree.
Kīlauea Awakens
Recent Hawaiian Volcanism as a Window into Flood-Formed Mega-Plumes and Global Intraplate Activity
AI: A Modern Tower of Babel
AI is our Tower of Babel moment, a test of whether humanity will bow before the God who scatters proud builders or persist in self-deification, now armed with silicon and code instead of bricks and bitumen.
The Craton Record
God’s Unshakable Evidence for the Pre-Flood Supercontinent and Noah’s Global Flood
Polonium: Proof the Earth Was Formed in 3 Minutes!
Robert Gentry's discovery of polonium radiohalos in granite provides a compelling scientific case that the Earth's continental crust and, by extension, the planet's foundational structure formed with extraordinary speed, potentially in mere minutes.
Entropy's Hold on Creation
Man’s genetic information, after 6,000 years of entropy, stands as powerful evidence that we live in a fallen world that one day will be gloriously “set free from its bondage to decay” (Romans 8:21).
The Historicity of “Reformed Egyptian”
Papyrus Amherst 63 and the broader archaeological record provide compelling historical parallels to the Book of Mormon’s description of “reformed Egyptian."

Moses 3:5-7 Harmonizes with the Expanded Doctrine of Creation
The spiritual creation in refined matter (Bulk or heaven) precedes and undergirds the natural, coarse creation (Brane or earth).
The Power of Asking: “Why Do You Want Me to Believe That?”
When claims cross into origins and worldview, motivations clarify the stakes. Scripture places God at the center.
“Let There Be Lights in the Expanse of the Heavens”
The lights in the expanse were not an afterthought; they were the crowning functional act of a stretched and ordered cosmos, designed from the beginning for signs, seasons, days, and years, to the glory of God.
The Quatrefoil
A Fourfold Witness to Divine Order in Scripture and Creation
In the Beginning With the Father
