Information inside your cells determined whether you’d have brown or blue or green eyes. And it determined whether you’d have black or brown or blonde hair. AND whether you’d be a boy or a girl (Those are the only choices, by the way). Take a trillion trails of that information, see where it goes, and I believe you’ll come to the same conclusion I … The rest of the story…

Imagine that you could speak words and a planet would appear. Then you speak more words and the sun and moon pop in. Then, a few more words and all the birds, dinosaurs, fishes, horses, dogs, lions, and every other creature appear. Now, imagine you could stretch out your hands and create all the shining stars in the universe. Yes, I said all the … The rest of the story…
I’ve seen some quotes, from professors to poets, who put today’s solar eclipse in its proper perspective. In one way or another they say what’ll happen is you’ll be “standing the shadow of the moon.” Sure, some interesting things can happen in the shadow of the moon. Temperatures drop. And crickets start chirping. And people in the “path of totality” can use special glasses … The rest of the story…
What gives you goosebumps when you just think about it? Or is there anything that does that? I’ll tell you something that gives me goosebumps like that. And I dreamed about it recently. And I don’t tend to remember dreams very often. But this one was a blast. But, before I tell you what it was, I’ll share what a dimwit, uh, “physiologist and … The rest of the story…
Once upon a time, jellyfish, and trillions of other marine life creatures, were buried alive in layers of sediment. And it happened so fast their bodies didn’t even have time to decompose and smell bad. And thousands of years later (yes, thousands) you can dig ’em up and see what they looked like in almost perfect details. It’s so amazing it almost sounds like … The rest of the story…
Once upon a time, and “for billions of years, single-celled creatures had the planet to themselves, floating through the oceans in solitary bliss. Some microorganisms attempted multicellular arrangements, forming small sheets or filaments of cells. But these ventures hit dead ends. The single cell ruled the earth.” (cue the record scratch sound effect!) The single cell ruled the earth?! Are you kidding me?! I … The rest of the story…
So. There’s this little protoplanet named “Vesta.” And, as it churns out, little Vesta might have some clues as to how life on Earth might have formed? Yeah, scientists discovered some areas of impact on the “minor planet” that seem to show “collisions with carbon rich asteroids.” And of course, they emphasize that carbon is the essential building block to all life on earth, … The rest of the story…
Climate changes. It’s always done that. And it always will. Well, until that final climate climax when the whole Earth is consumed in a ball of fire. But not to worry. That probably won’t happen for at least another 1007 years. Give or take. Oh yeah, just so you know, you won’t have any control over that climate climax. Nope. You can drive your … The rest of the story…
I mentioned this speck of dust over ten years ago. And I joked about the mutants who formed, completely on their own, once some molten goo cooled down enough. Well, I won’t just keep talking about what I talked about back then. I’ll just share it with you. Imagine, if you will (and you must), a tiny speck of dust. We’ll call it dust … The rest of the story…
Back when I used to perform, nightly, in an island-themed restaurant, one crowd favorite was a song by Jimmy Buffett. The lyrics talked about volcanoes erupting and what would happen when they do. Words like, “Ground she’s movin’ under me. Tidal waves out on the sea. Sulphur smoke up in the sky. Pretty soon we learn to fly.” And then the chorus said, “I … The rest of the story…
I remember Ted Kennedy’s shaky voice, during a eulogy for his brother Robert, as he quoted George Bernard Shaw who said, “Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.” I’m not sure Ted OR Robert were capable of anything more than why and why not questions. I hope so. But I won’t … The rest of the story…
There have been countless times when all it took to open a gate of rhyming reason in my head was a picture of one single object. And that happened a lot, last year, after I stumbled upon a seemingly endless flow of stunning pictures in a social media feed. And more often than not the pictures connect my neurotransmitters and receptors to God and … The rest of the story…
I shared some stuff a few years ago that bears repeating. Because even though government schools dumb down all who attend, teach in, and run those institutions, humans still have complex capabilities other creatures don’t have. My wife and I share a common ancestor. My dog and I do not. Some evolutionary scientists embrace a theory they call “convergent evolution”. This is where complex … The rest of the story…
Hey fathead. Yeah, YOU! Don’t get mad. I’m just tellin’ it like it is. Because essentially you’re a fathead. For that matter, so am I. So, were in this together. Of course, I’m talking about that think zone inside your head. Your brain. It’s made up of about 60% fat. How can you even function with such a sludge-filled think zone? I mean, how … The rest of the story…
They’re not scary when you use even a little of the wisdom and discernment your Creator is willing to give you. I’m talking about health headlines. But if you read them without wisdom and discernment, as if they’re actually full-blown facts, you might start feeling like calling up the suicide hotline. Because the vast majority of news sources would prefer you to stay locked … The rest of the story…
You’re more than matter. And you matter because of that. Not because of the color of your skin. Not because of how much money you have or where you were born. And not because you’re the most perfect specimen ever conceived here on planet Earth. Your significance is measured by the highest standard in existence. God’s love and wisdom. He created you in His … The rest of the story…
It started like this. A made up god, named Woden created the earth and sky from the dead body of a giant named Ymir. Then, he also created the first man and woman from an ash tree and an alder. And then he established the laws of the universe. But let’s not forget this other made up guy. Because he’s maybe the most famous of … The rest of the story…
Back in the Bible days kids walked to school. And some of us had morning prayer, over the loudspeaker, before we headed out from homeroom into the different classes. We also said the “pledge of allegiance.” And it was the version that included the words “under God.” GASP! Yeah, those Bible days were way different from now. I also remember how, back in those … The rest of the story…
Too bad Neil Young is such a fool when it comes to what’s truly important. Because, over the years, I’ve enjoyed a lot of his music. I remember listening to “Harvest” on my drive back to Texas, after my summer vacation in Kansas and before my senior year in high school. And his song, “Harvest Moon,” really strikes a chord (pun intended) in the … The rest of the story…
The article started out with a picture that included this title: “An artist’s illustration traces the long, cosmic path of a fast radio burst that originated in distant galaxies and reached Earth 8 billion years later.” So, right from the git-go the writer made it difficult to take the report seriously. “But Tony,” you might say, This “fast radio burst is one of the … The rest of the story…
