The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Science Foundation's $368 million Ocean Observatories Initiative, a network of more than 900 deep-sea instruments used to monitor ocean currents, marine ecosystems, carbon absorption, heat waves, fisheries, coastal flooding, and climate change. The NSF said it would send ships in June to begin the removal of the instruments anchored off Oregon, Washington, Alaska, North Carolina, and an area between Greenland and Iceland known as the Irminger Sea. The New York Times reports: The ocean observation system began operating in 2016 and was expected to continue for 25 years. Jim Edson, a marine meteorologist who led the Ocean Observatories Initiative, called it "the world's most advanced continuously operating ocean observing systems." When it was first proposed, the science foundation said it was important to have a long-term presence at scientifically important sites in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Removing the instruments could take 15 months. Seismic instruments positioned around an active underwater volcano off Oregon will continue operating until 2028. Each observation station consists of several moorings that secure long arrays of devices connected to wires. The devices measure ocean currents as well as chemical and biological conditions from the water's surface down thousands of feet. The instruments were hardened to resist the pressure of the deep ocean, corrosive seawater as well as marine plants and animals that can foul electronics. Remotely controlled robotic vehicles and gliders around the moorings collect and transmit data to research laboratories. It cost $48 million annually to operate the network. The Trump administration repeatedly tried to shutter it, proposing to cut its funding by 80 percent in both 2025 and again in 2026. Congress pushed back, restoring the money. To try to reduce costs, managers turned off some of the instruments and collected less data, according to a December 2025 presentation about the observatories at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, a nonprofit organization of scientists. Still, the science foundation moved ahead to decommission the observatory network.

In early Earth’s chemical soup, toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was the unlikely hero ingredient. Though a killer to all but a few lifeforms, HCN is at the base of a host of prebiotic chemical reactions. Without it, life may never arisen on our planet. Though it’s just a simple molecule with three atoms, its importance […]

The Northwest Africa (NWA) 12774, an angrite meteorite discovered in the Sahara Desert, likely in Mauritania, appears to be a fragment of a vanished protoplanet, offering the strongest evidence yet that a large planetary body formed and was later destroyed during the Solar System’s chaotic infancy.

The COVID-19 pandemic and “safe and effective” vaccines are lies propagated by governments and “experts”. Many widely accepted scientific beliefs are false narratives based on Satan’s lies. Spiritual deception underlies many societal misconceptions. We must return to the foundation of biblical truths from creation to what is real science.

An historical investigation of global population growth, from Creation to the present, using secular and biblical texts. Significant changes in growth rates occurred after the global Flood, the Tower of Babel and pivotal developments from 1600 onward. A future population collapse may be seen again as resulting from God's judgments on the wicked.

Young Earth Creation means the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. The biblical genealogies and historical records support this belief. I now advocate for the Septuagint's chronology as more reliable than the Masoretic Text, which has been corrupted. It follows then that the age of the Earth is about 7,580 years.

I premiere my 2013 video lecture "8 Reasons Why Evolution is Foolish" on YouTube. I present 8 reasons why evolution is impossible. I cover questions on cosmogony, the origin of the universe, the stars and galaxies, the Earth, and the origin of life.

I reflect on my educational journey, highlighting challenges such as family separation and multiple school changes. I excelled in science and mathematics yet was indoctrinated on Godless cosmology and rejected the Creator. Later Jesus Christ saved me from atheism and renewed my mind to His truth.

The letter of apostle Jude warns against false teachings and ungodliness, urging believers to contend for their faith. Jude emphasizes that eternal judgment awaits those who reject God, likening them to the rebels of the past. His message serves as a reminder to uphold the true gospel of Jesus Christ amidst modern corruption.

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?

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.

I model the decrease in human lifespans after the Flood due to a combination of factors beginning at the Curse, including divine sustainment, loss of physiological resilience and changes in Earth's environment. Current research indicates a hard limit on human lifespan due to physiological resilience limitations.

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.

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.

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.

Maxwell Chikumbutso's claim of a "free energy" vehicle powered by radio frequency energy, contradicts established physics, particularly the laws of thermodynamics. All forms of energy involve costs. Chikumbutso provides no evidence to support his "free energy" from radio-waves claim. It is foolish to believe in unverified revolutionary energy solutions.

An examination of the ages of patriarchs from the Masoretic Text (MT) and Septuagint Text (LXX), highlights a significant decrease in human lifespans post-Flood. A correlation between Earth's axial tilt changes and lifespan variations forecasts that, without medical advancements, human lifespans will continue declining.

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.

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.

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.
