Climatologists have identified a period of nearly 500 years where a significant part of the Northern Hemisphere experienced colder than normal temperatures. The period known as the Little Ice Age started around 1275 and ended in the 1800’s. They determined … Continue reading
*by Wes Moore Naomi Oreskes, a history and science professor at the University of California, says doubters from within the scientific community are intentionally keeping established scientific facts—like global warming—from being accepted by the public.[i] In her book, Merchants of … Continue reading
The world immediately after the Genesis Flood was considerably different than it is today. The crust of the earth ripped apart, continents moved around, hot magma spewed into the ocean, water inundated the entire globe, sediment was deposited over most … Continue reading
Recently, the Institute for Creation Research acquired some property in Alaska that will enable its scientists to study the unique mechanisms in plants that allow them to live in extreme climates. The selection of available tree species (white spruce, alder, … Continue reading
*by Wes Moore A lot of bad things happen in this world. You’ve probably noticed that. Maybe you’ve had someone you love get really sick or even die. Or maybe you’ve heard about the bad things that happen around the … Continue reading
Last week, the earth was struck by a significant solar storm that could have caused a lot of damage to life on earth. We heard warnings that our cell phones could have problems and that it could even disrupt some … Continue reading
by RL David Jolly The past few decades have been filled with the news of global warming and its devastating effects on planet earth and mankind. Without some type of intervention, the earth’s climate will continue to heat up, the … Continue reading
Miracles or ‘Mother Nature’? Were the ten plagues of Egypt, as recorded in Exodus chapters 7–11, all overt miraculous acts of God? Yes, according to Moses. No, according to the natural-cause-and-effect theory of Greta Hort, first published in 1957–58,1 and today widely … Continue reading
In several Acts & Facts articles over the past few years, I have addressed Henrik Svensmark’s theory that modulated galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) from outer space may be one of the primary driving mechanisms for global warming.1-5 Industrialization may have contributed slightly to … Continue reading
As men fleshed out the theory of evolution, they realized that the only possible way for the molecular building blocks to initially form and chain together had to be in an atmosphere devoid of oxygen. Oxygen is a reducing agent … Continue reading
I’ve had people ask me if the Bible ever talks about snow and ice, considering that it was written by people that lived in the Middle East and neighboring lands. Most people think of the areas around Israel and the … Continue reading
Twentieth-century geologists taught the familiar maxim: “The present is the key to the past.” But now that catastrophic processes are widely employed to describe the strata record, twenty-first century geologists are wondering whether “marine flood sedimentation is the key to … Continue reading
Could any “useless” natural object composed of simple materials exceed the beauty of a snow crystal? As you wish for a white Christmas, think about two snowflake designers: one who makes them in a lab, and one who makes them … Continue reading
I just listened to a podcast by climate scientist Murry Salby to the Sydney Institute entitled “Global Emission of Carbon Dioxide: The Contribution from Natural Sources.” During question time toward the end of the recording (55min 15sec) he says: Just a historical … Continue reading
Wilson (Willie) Bentley (1865-1931) was born on a farm in Jericho, Vermont. Jericho was an ideal place to study snow because it was in the heart of the snowbelt, producing an average annual snowfall of over 120 inches.1 Willie was homeschooled … Continue reading
