By tracking fierce winds racing through the atmospheres of seven ultra-hot Jupiters, astronomers have uncovered the strongest evidence yet that magnetic fields shape weather on worlds beyond our Solar System.

James Webb Space Telescope | Extremely High Redshift Failure

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed what appear to be very distant red galaxies challenging the standard big bang theory. Misidentifying some Brown Dwarf stars within our Milky Way as these red distant galaxies brings into question the existing cosmological models.

The “Project Hail Mary” Plot Needs Much More Than a “Hail Mary”

I review the story "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir and the 2026 film. As science it is fundamentally flawed. Life is assumed to have evolved along a line different to the biochemistry we find on Earth. But that is the problem. Life on Earth could only come from an Intelligent Creator.

Causality and the Arrow of Time Are Big Bang Problems for Cosmic Story-Telling

The big bang has causality issues, particularly the "horizon problem." I critique suggested solutions like cosmic inflation and negentropy, arguing that they require unproven concepts. The Creator, as described in the Bible, provides a coherent explanation without causality violations, in contrast with those scientific storytelling fairy tales for adults.

Apollo Moon Landings | The Technology Used Explains Why They Are Struggling To Do It Again

The Apollo Guidance Computer was crucial for the success of the 1969 Moon landing, operating effectively despite its limited technology. Today, Moon landing efforts face challenges but to do so again the U.S. needs to re-engineer new designs using new technology. NASA cannot just turn the clock back 60 years.

Can We See the Apollo Landing Sites from Earth?

Many "Moon Landing Hoax" proponents dismiss any pictures from NASA which clearly show Apollo Moon landing sites, taken by the lunar orbiter spacecraft. Also we have clear images from India’s ISRO lunar orbiter. But we can’t resolve the Apollo Lunar Module descent stages with Earth-based telescopes because of the limitations of the physics involved.

Are We Really Observing the Universe in Real Time?

When we look out into space, even with the most powerful telescopes, are we seeing the universe in real time? Are we observing events as they happen, that is, at the time measured on our local clocks?

Was the 1969 Moon Landing Faked?

There are various conspiracy theories claiming the Apollo Moon landing was faked, some citing a spoof video as evidence. I reference my personal experiences and testimonies from Apollo astronauts, emphasizing the authenticity of the Moon landing. I highlight the significance of eye witness statements in discerning historical truth.

What Happened After the Flood? Why Did Lifespans Decrease Rapidly?

In this presentation I discuss the drastic reduction in human lifespans after the global flood, from 910-970 years to about 70 years. I link these changes to factors such as biological decay, genetic entropy, Earth’s altered magnetic field and loss of physiological resilience. Eternal lifespans can only be restored through Jesus Christ.

Early Christmas Present | The First Chapters of My Book “The Physics of Creation” Free to All

As an early 2025 Christmas present, I have now made the first 9 chapters of my book The Physics of Creation free to everyone. You don't need a Premium subscription to read them.

True Science and Science Falsely So-Called

I discuss the distinction between operational science, which relies on repeatable experiments, and historical science, particularly cosmology. While acknowledging the contributions of renowned scientists, I argue that cosmology lacks the capacity for experimental verification and is thus not true science, but science falsely so-called.

Two Free Books On Offer for Premium Members

Two of my latest books are on offer for free PDF download exclusively to Premium members, which costs $30/year or $5/month. Premium members gain early access to posts and exclusive content. The books focus on biblical themes, covering Genesis and Revelation.

Alien Spacecraft or Interstellar Comet?

The discovery of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS raises speculation about its nature, with some suggesting it could be an alien spacecraft. However, most astronomers believe it is a comet. The question highlights differing belief systems regarding the origins of life, with critics emphasizing the necessity of extraordinary evidence for such claims.

Non-Expanding Universe | Redshifts Explained by Stimulated Transfer Tired-Light Theory Agreeing with an Observed Hubble–Lemaître Law Up to Redshift z ≈ 16

Stimulated Transfer redshift, a newly discovered phenomenon predicted by quantum electrodynamics, results in electron heating and a redshift of light from distant galaxies. The mechanism not only explains the extreme heating of the solar corona, but also provides an alternative explanation for astronomical redshifts without invoking an expanding universe.

What Happened to Earth’s Rings?

The existence of evidence for Earth’s past equatorial ring, shown by impact craters, raises questions about its loss. Modeling its effects on Earth's rotation presents challenges. However, current findings indicate minor impacts on day length, with significant stability in the Earth-Moon system over 10,000 years.

Some Secular Astronomers Now Believe That Earth Once Had a Ring

A recent study suggested that the Earth once had an equatorial ring. The physical evidence is consistent with my biblical creation model, wherein I suggested the Earth initially had an equatorial ring of icy material. The presence of impact craters supports my model, positing that gravitational instability caused material to collapse onto the planet.

Time and the Measurement of Time

The exploration of time measurement emphasizes the Earth's rotation as a historical clock, defining the 24-hour day. The development of mechanical clocks, notably John Harrison's marine chronometers, advanced navigation. Time's definition evolved from an Earth-centric model to atomic standards, although fundamental concepts of time remain abstract and intrinsic to the universe's creation.

Oscillations in the Change of Earth’s Obliquity

Here I explore a modified biblical model for the Earth's axial obliquity with the great deluge occurring around 3154 ± 191 BC. A sinusoidal oscillation is proposed to account for small deviations in the model. 30 additional Nautical Almanac data are also added.

Axions | Hypothetical Dark-Matter Particles Proposed to Clean Up the Fine-Tuning Problem in Cosmology

The anthropic principle posits that the universe’s physical constants are fine-tuned for life, which is a problem for big bang cosmology. On the Genesis Science Network we discuss the theoretical proposal of a test of the anthropic principle via a proposed ultralight axionic dark-matter particle.
