The content share for today comes from Answers in Genesis . As with so many of the topics I share, it's one I truly desire to understand better. Genetics, DNA, and the like, are so fascinating, especially when you approach them with a Biblical eye. What variety God has put in His creation. Yet, as with so much, mankind likes to try to remove Him, and in doing so are left with having to come up with answers to the how and why of things. Of course, the reality is God made it a

Hardly an original shot, but a stunning location to be sure. There are few places I can think of in the United States that offer more variety, ranging from wildlife to geology, scenic views to just out of this world features, than Yellowstone National Park. Within this amazing place, one could spend multiple lifetimes researching, exploring, and photographing, and still come up with new things. It is a testament to God's creative power. On the northeast corner of the park lie

For today's post share, I'm sharing this article from Dr. Jason Lisle on the human eye. It's really an amazing part of God's creation. As a photographer I see just how crazy good cameras have gotten; between megapixel count, the speed they can take images, A.I., etc. Yet despite that, the human eye still remains infinitely more advanced than any camera. Evolution can't explain it, though they say they can. But Dr. Lisle will explain it much better than I can. I hope you'll e

Landscape portrait of me in Yellowstone, taken by my friend, Dean. For something that I didn't get into until I was well into my adult years, I'm pleasantly surprised how much I've enjoyed photography. More than that though, I realize that I am thankful for the gift of it, and everything good connected with it. As a child, going outdoors was oftentimes a mix of fun, but also fear. Not fear of danger, but I just didn't like getting dirty. But when I was 11 or 12, a visit to th

Friday's share is a pretty deep article, but fitting for our discussion this week. We're going to look today at how we view the world itself; that is, how do we understand truth and reality itself? It's a big word that I'm going to let the author from Answers in Genesis explain, because I myself will do a terrible job at it. This article is the first of I'm not sure how many as it is ongoing, but I hope you will find it helpful especially in dealing with how we can approach

I recently watched a portion of acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns' new documentary on the American Revolution. I have to admit however that I approach it with a great deal of trepidation. Why? Because, in short, I'm not sure if I'm being lied to. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that much of what is said is historically accurate and factual. But can I trust the bias and spin put on things in this very anti-American age that we live in? And no, I don't worship the ground the founding

Continuing our theme for the week, one of the areas closest to my heart as a nature photographer is how theology affects how we view nature itself. Is it the product of natural laws, processes that have been going on for millions and billions of years? Is it the creation of an all powerful God? Could it be both; could God have chosen to use the process of evolution and uniformitarian principles to bring about the world that we observe today?

The other day as I headed to church, I noticed, as I often do, the trees alongside of the road. At this time of year, the trees along this particular stretch of road are adorned with some of the best fall color. But a thought came to mind about them. Spring is a very pretty time of year, but I think many would argue that it is fall where trees really are at their most beautiful. And yet, it is for such a brief time and then they are bare, lifeless, asleep. It reminded me that

For the next post share, I actually want to share a video I watched recently. In it, Answers in Genesis Canada's Calvin Smith gives an excellent presentation on why we should trust Scriptures and how those behind science are not neutral towards Scripture or a Biblical worldview. I admit the video is on the longer side, but if it's a choice between that and a 30 minute to an hour show you might watch on TV, consider watching this instead with your family. I believe you'll come

Going on several days being home but unfortunately still a bit under the weather. As such, today is a perfect day to share an article from one of my personal favorite speakers on Youtube. Calvin Smith works with Answers in Genesis as director and speaker for Answers in Genesis Canada, and the videos they put out are quite good and very helpful. For things like geology, to a newbie like me, it's a nice way to get my feet wet into that topic, along with many others that deal wi

Last night I had another chance to get up to Shenandoah National Park for a hike and some scouting for photography. I was hoping there'd...

What do you write about, when you're not sure what to write about? You may have noticed but my desire is to try to blog quite often. But...

Shenandoah National Park has a ton of geology, with many cliffs of exposed rock. This particular area contains a large section of...
