Nye/Ham Debate Pt1: Biblical Assumptions
It was cool to see that the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate drew such a huge amount of attention and was viewed by an estimated 3 million people. Americans remain interested in the subject, and hold a diversity of views that don’t all fit neatly into the two positions represented at the debate. According to a 2012 Gallup […]
Interview with Paleontologist Donald Prothero
February 12, 2014
A few days after the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate, I had the opportunity to interview paleontologist and geologist Donald R. Prothero about the debate, his role in prepping Bill Nye, and his work as a scientist, professor, and lecturer. I’ve posted the audio from our interview at the top of this post, so you can […]

Grave Robbers
April 16, 2013
This 150-year-old debate over evolution can flare up in all kinds of places. Sometimes the issue gets wrapped into a court case, a school board election, and sometimes things play out in the media. Bill Nye ignited the controversy recently by making a video blasting creationism. Answers in Genesis offered an underwhelming response video and […]
Hitler Again?
April 12, 2013
For 10 years, I engineered and helped produce a Christian radio program for children. I followed the industry and went to a national conference in Texas to hang out with others in the Christian radio scene. I found some common interest with other engineers and younger Christians, but found many of the older broadcasters to be […]
Are You A Primate?
August 20, 2012
Are you a primate? Scientists say that you are. They’ve been saying it before Darwin came along, and people have been arguing with them ever since. Is there a significant physical difference between humans and other primates which can be used to get us out of that classification? In the 1700’s, Carl Linnaeus began to […]
Pageant Theory Becomes Law?
July 29, 2011
Maybe I should apologize for being too tough on the Miss USA contestants last month [read post]. None of them seemed to understand what a scientific theory was, but it may not be their fault. Apparently science education materials sometimes get it wrong and kids can be misled. My wife and I just bought a […]
The Search For The Historical Adam
June 28, 2011
The cover story in Christianity Today this month is called “The Search for The Historical Adam“. Writer Richard N. Ostling did a good job of introducing the scientific problems facing the idea of a first human couple and gave a useful summary of the debate. Check it out.
Pageant Theory
June 25, 2011
Should evolution be taught in schools? It looks like someone who was searching for the answer decided to ask all the Miss USA contestants: I don’t really know why they spring these types of questions on pageant contestants, but it offers us an array of misunderstandings to ponder. One thing that stood out to me […]

I'm a recording engineer, husband, father of two awesome little girls, and a Christian. Aside from music and art, I like to read, over-complicate things, raise questions, and search for answers.
