Reflecting on God's Goodness |
Reflecting on God's Goodness
by John D. Morris, Ph.D
This is the time of year we traditionally set aside to reflect on God's
goodness-things for which we are thankful. Let me list several things as I
see them from the President's chair here at ICR.
Organizationally, I am thankful for His consistent financial supply of ICR's
every need. This includes designated funds for special research projects,
but also for the much larger general operating expenses. Without endowments,
big savings accounts, (and without debt too), He has provided every true
need. I am also thankful for the staff of ICR. Each one considers the work
here their own personal ministry too, making ICR a wonderful place to work.
I am also thankful for God's Word, which reveals His grand plan for His
creation, and how we fit in. We are expected to believe what He says, but
I'm so glad He didn't ask us to believe things that are obviously not
true-things like evolution, which insists our ancestors were fish, and that
life, which is so intricately designed, arose spontaneously by natural
processes. Nor are we asked to believe silly things like the Colorado River
carved Grand Canyon, or that a long-ago explosion produced galaxies,
planets, and people. I'm thankful that His message to us is so "believable,"
and our faith a "reasonable faith."
The modern creation movement as a whole spurs great thankfulness in my
heart. From very humble beginnings just a few decades ago, it has blossomed
into a major national and international force. Today many creation
scientists and creation organizations are involved, carrying the news to
anyone who will listen. Today creation materials cover every subject and at
all levels. Things will never go back to the way they were.
As a scientist, I am quite thankful for the high-quality research being
conducted here at ICR and elsewhere, fueling the creation movement and
providing solid answers to questions people have. Creation's scientific
footing is so strong now that one must be "willingly ignorant" (II Peter
3:5) not to see it.
I am thankful too, for the faithful supporters of ICR, the readers of Acts &
Facts like you. Many people regularly tell me they uphold the ministry in
prayer. God showers His blessings in answer to those prayers. We thankfully
consider you partners in the work in every regard.
My greatest thankfulness is reserved for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Himself the Creator and Sustainer of all. Through His completed work on the
Cross we have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God. In response to
all He has done for us, we study His creation, uphold His Word, and extol
His Name, and are thankful for the privilege.

Tell you this, it isn't in geology. Devil's Tower is the core of an
old volcano. Very old. Over a few million years, the softer rocks
work away leaving the solid igneous core. There are formations like
that all over.

Yup. Just perfectly rational, reasonable beliefs like talking snakes,
omnipotent gods who can't defeat iron chariots, people being swallowed by
fish, believers proving their faith by drinking poison and handling snakes,
prayers that move mountains around, and a deity who has to sacrifice
himself to himself in order for him to get around a law he made himself.

He does not need to send the check back - you can simply stop payment on it
and send a valid one. I have no idea what you mean by a "letter of
authenticity".

Yeah, sure, with modified "dowsing" rods. By a dead con artist, that no
one else believes found anything.
Your ignorance is showing through again nameless. Sigh!

ship?"
You never did answer that, and you never will. It's far to damaging to
the lost credibility of your dead con artist.

us is so "believable," and our faith a "reasonable faith."
Yup. Just perfectly rational, reasonable beliefs like talking snakes,
omnipotent gods who can't defeat iron chariots, people being swallowed by
fish, believers proving their faith by drinking poison and handling snakes,
prayers that move mountains around, and a deity who has to sacrifice
himself to himself in order for him to get around a law he made himself.

Yeah, sure, with modified "dowsing" rods. By a dead con artist, that no

Actually, by metal detectors.

Your ignorance is showing through again nameless. Sigh!
"Is it possible that the "wheels" found in the Red Sea came from a sunk
ship?"
You never did answer that, and you never will. It's far to damaging to
the lost credibility of your dead con artist.

Reflecting on God's Goodness
by John D. Morris, Ph.D
This is the time of year we traditionally set aside to reflect on God's
goodness-things for which we are thankful. Let me list several things as
I see them from the President's chair here at ICR.
Organizationally, I am thankful for His consistent financial supply of
ICR's every need. This includes designated funds for special research
projects, but also for the much larger general operating expenses.
Without endowments, big savings accounts, (and without debt too), He has
provided every true need. I am also thankful for the staff of ICR. Each
one considers the work here their own personal ministry too, making ICR
a wonderful place to work.
I am also thankful for God's Word, which reveals His grand plan for His
creation, and how we fit in. We are expected to believe what He says, but
I'm so glad He didn't ask us to believe things that are obviously not
true-things like evolution, which insists our ancestors were fish, and
that life, which is so intricately designed, arose spontaneously by
natural processes. Nor are we asked to believe silly things like the
Colorado River carved Grand Canyon, or that a long-ago explosion
produced galaxies, planets, and people. I'm thankful that His message to
us is so "believable," and our faith a "reasonable faith."

And as before nameless, here is one of your own kind that sees Wyatt for

The modern creation movement as a whole spurs great thankfulness in my
heart. From very humble beginnings just a few decades ago, it has blossomed
into a major national and international force. Today many creation
scientists and creation organizations are involved, carrying the news to
anyone who will listen. Today creation materials cover every subject and at
all levels. Things will never go back to the way they were.
As a scientist, I am quite thankful for the high-quality research being
conducted here at ICR and elsewhere, fueling the creation movement and
providing solid answers to questions people have. Creation's scientific
footing is so strong now that one must be "willingly ignorant" (II Peter
3:5) not to see it.
I am thankful too, for the faithful supporters of ICR, the readers of Acts &
Facts like you. Many people regularly tell me they uphold the ministry in
prayer. God showers His blessings in answer to those prayers. We thankfully
consider you partners in the work in every regard.
My greatest thankfulness is reserved for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Himself the Creator and Sustainer of all. Through His completed work on the
Cross we have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God. In response to
all He has done for us, we study His creation, uphold His Word, and extol
His Name, and are thankful for the privilege.

*bursts into tears*
Lord, I see, I see! I have been "wilfully ignorant" for so long, I am
so fortunate that my self-imposed blindness did not become permanent due
to a Satanic placeberetic effectometrism! I now understand the
scienteristicalness of creationalful scienteristicism!
As you can see, my newfound ability to use biggiful worderatrons is
unshakeaburatol evidenticousness of the scienteristicalness of my new
beliefs!
(Has anyone besides me ever noticed this -- that religions love using
the biggest words they can invent, often completely nonsense big words,
to sound more eddicated [sic] and rashunol [sic]?)
