Creationist and Scientist: What?

"He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion."

Jeremiah 10:12 NKJV

I am a creationist.  That is right, a creationist, but I am also a scientist.  You may be wondering how in the world this is possible, but trust me it is.

I believe that God created the fabulous world around us in six days.  I believe that Jesus Christ lived as both 100% man and 100% God and that he died on the cross and rose on the third day.  I am extremely thankful that Jesus Christ is my Savior.  I believe that the Bible is 100% accurate and 100% relevant to Today’s times.  I believe in the truth of the Bible not only because of my faith, but also because of science.


I love learning about the world around me through science because I believe that I learn more about my God as I study science.

It amazes me at how much He enacted in those six days that He created the world. He created DNA that encodes for all the proteins that make an organism unique from every other organism.  He created all the atoms and their properties.  He created plants that would serve as medicine and animals that would be used for food. He created so many magnificent things in those six days.


I love learning about archaeological discoveries around the world.  I love archaeology because it gives us clues about the past.  I love forensic anthropology and forensic science for the same reason.  It gives us clues about someone’s past.  These clues can be used to determine what may or may not have happened to that person before, during, and after the events that led to his or her death.

This blog, therefore, is about my journey through science and the world around me.  I will be discussing archaeological finds, both recent and not so recent, that deal with the Bible.  I will also be discussing the validity of Creationism versus other theories.  I will also discuss current “hot” topics, such as abortion, and what I believe the Bible says about these topics.

My discussions will not solely be based upon my opinions on the matter, but will be based on scholarly research of both the Biblical and extra-biblical nature.  I plan on posting on this blog on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so let us continue this conversation on Wednesday with the most logical beginning for our discussion:  Creationism.
