Molecular biology is sometimes the most mundane of the sciences …but sometimes it simply astounds.
Cholesterol – everybody’s got it. The body constantly balances the cholesterol levels by attempting to maintain homeostasis. Intake and synthesis of cholesterol is normally balanced with degradation [...]

Give me Grace

I dont know if anyone else is familiar with Andy Gullahorn.  He’s a songwriter who lives in Nashville.  He’s one of the best songwriters I’ve ever been exposed to.  I’m his number 1 fan (#1).  I told him this when I met him.  ”I think you’re my only fan” he said through a grin. Here’s [...]

Thabiti Anyabwile

The recent Together for the Gospel conference featured one man I was almost altogether unfamiliar with.  The man was Thabiti Anyabwile.  If you dont know of this man, I highly recommend remedying that by reading his testimony.  God truly is a holy and powerful God and it is clearly evident in all of our lives, [...]

Hello boys and girls.  Today we will talk about DNA.  I know the weather outside is great, and we could all use some time in the sun, so lets get through this and get out there!

Christian Parenting

If you attend my church (Ninth and O Baptist in Louisville), chances are you heard this statement last night.  I think it is worth bringing up again however for thoughtful meditation.
Give children big Truths that they can grow into, not small explanations that they will grow out of.
Here, here, Calvin Fowler.  I think thats a [...]

Flesh and Blood

As a blog writer I must admit that there are a few blogs I read, as well.  One of them is by Theologian/Cultural Commentator Al Mohler, who is also the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  I only bring this up because today he has commented on an op-ed piece in the USA Today [...]

Earthquake!

Wow!  Earthquake time.
This morning at roughly 5:35, I bolted upright in bed.  What was that?  I knew it was either an earthquake or that a Boeing 747 had crashed in my backyard.  Hoping for the latter, I glanced out the window to find…
Nothing.
The birds were going crazy.  But not a passenger jetliner to be seen. [...]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

I might be the only one, but I love “Dumb and Dumber.” Maybe it reminds me of myself (a little). This is my favorite part:

In other words, not a chance. (Of course Lloyd doesn’t see it that way. Later on he finds out she’s already married and [...]

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

There is a new movie coming out this Friday night (April 18, 2008). It is probably the most anticipated documentary ever to hit the screens:
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

This film stars many scientists with varying views on evolution, Intelligent Design theory, neo-Darwinism and Social Darwinism. Former presidential speechwriter/comedian/game show host Ben Stein does most of [...]

As a first year student in med school I am constantly learning things about our bodies.  They are phenomenal in many ways.  Sometimes I can’t help but marvel at the work God has done in creation.  Last semester, one of my professors said [...]
