This past weekend I had the opportunity to speak at Dunbar Church of the Nazarene in Dunbar, West Virginia. This was a special privilege for me because I was raised in the Nazarene church and taught for six years as a biology professor at Mount Vernon Nazarene University. On Saturday I presented twice to the [...]
I’m sure many of you are making plans to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in just a few days. We are having a whole house full of people over to enjoy a meal on Sunday. We have a white plastic cross in our yard that people passing by our house will see as plain [...]
This was the title of a video production in which women scientists from around the world testified of the importance of evolution. The SCOPE project that developed the video stated the following:
This video was produced to allow scientists to explain, in their own words, the importance of evolution to science — and the related importance [...]
I’ll be speaking on evolution and the Galapagos Islands in Branson, Missouri, at our Proclaiming the Faith Conference in July. As many of my faithful blog readers know, I experienced two weeks exploring the Galapagos Islands in May of 2011. I took over 2,000 pictures and published a daily blog about my experiences.

In wooded areas in England, the darker variety is believed to be more common in areas where [...]
On my car radio the other day, I heard Steve Green’s song, “Find Us Faithful.” It’s an oldie but a goodie in my opinion! Let me share with you one of the verses and the chorus:
Verse:

The catchy blog post title is what happens when a scientist tries to be creative and make every word start with the letter C. In a few weeks I will be traveling to Dunbar, West Virginia, to speak at Dunbar Church of the Nazarene. This is a special treat for me because I was raised [...]
