Check this out about the moon and sun. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon. And it’s 400 times further away. What an amazing and happy coincidence that is. It’s practically ecliptic is what it is. No, seriously. I mean it. It’s practically ecliptic, which is both a noun and an adjective. Definition: a great circle on the celestial sphere representing the … The rest of the story…
So, sing that headline to the tune of London Bridge. But then, maybe you scratch your head and wonder, “Nothing is a waste of time? What does that mean? Has Tony gone off the deep end?

I just watched a video about wolves re-introduced into Yellowstone (The park. Not the show.) And the video producers showed how much those wolves changed the ecosystem. Yes, nature is amazing.

This might be breaking news to some. But there are differences in opinions for why you can see fossil gaps in the strata around the world. Yeah, I’m not sure why someone would disagree with the idea that those gaps imply (at the very least) we not have gotten here through an evolutionary process. About 8 years ago, I called those fossil gaps, missing … The rest of the story…
In your own mind, do you think you can truly understand the universe? And I mean all its vastness, emptiness, and mysteries? I don’t believe you can.

Imagine if you had the same kind of underwater “gear” as gills in fish. And imagine how much easier it would be to explore the waters on your next beach vacation. Or what you could find in local lakes and ponds. Well, stop imagining. Because humans DO the same “gear” as gills in fish. In fact, they’re not called something else. They’re called gills. … The rest of the story…
When you peer deep into the world of microscopic life, it almost looks like science fiction. But it’s definitely non-fiction. And the story, of life, going on down there, was written by a brilliant author. Yes, there IS a story to even the microscopic life. Because it’s life. And there is NO life without a story. Because life requires information. I remember, way back … The rest of the story…
I didn’t decide to call my blog and podcast Rhyme and Reason just because I thought it sounded cool. It’s because those words represent what I call the poetic style of God. And God’s poetic style can be found all around you. There have been plenty of times when I wrote or talked about how poetic the Bible is. But if you think I’m … The rest of the story…
If you love butterflies (and you should), you’ve probably heard of the amazing annual Monarch butterfly migration. 3000 miles those tiny, fragile wings have to flutter. And how and why do they do it? Is that Monarch butterfly migration just a mysterious coincidence? Yeah, right. As I write this, it’s February 5, 2022.
