My 6 Favorite Frivolous Christmas Tunes

December 25, 2022

I’m gonna go somewhat off-topic for the Xmas holidays. I know, I know. Some people (maybe you?) strongly dislike these songs for one reason or another. But, I like ’em. Such songs can trigger nostalgic feelings or memories from one’s childhood or some other event, and sometimes they just add a nice bit of Christmas […]

Did the Mount St. Helens Eruption Prove Flood Geology?

December 18, 2022

“The eruption demonstrated that geologic catastrophe can produce in hours and days geologic features previously believed to have taken millions of years. When we see what the volcano did in such a short time, we can better appreciate how the catastrophe of Noah’s Flood formed the much larger geological features on planet Earth.” — Dr. […]
