Brian Thomas, M.S.

I'm saddened by the news that the Institute for Creation Research Graduate School couldn't get a masters of science degree program approved in Jesus' Texas. According to the scentistofascists who approve such things, approval was denied because "much of the course content was outside the realm of science and lacked potential to help students understand the nature of science and the history and nature of the natural world."

"Surely, that can't be true," I thought, "there's plenty of scientific evidence that proves the existence of God and His hand in creation." Wondering if perhaps ICR was not paying enough attention to God science, I decided to go to their web site and take a look.

That's where I found Brian Thomas, M.S. He writes articles featuring the latest revelations in God science at the site every day. His work is just as amazing as it is faith promoting.

Here are a few of my favorite passages.

On proving the age of a 157 year old woman:

If trustworthy documents remain the best means of gleaning the facts of history, then it stands to reason that reliable copies of the documents that were compiled to form the Old Testament can be regarded as far and away more reliable than any "scientific" guesswork about the past.

On the shape of the hammerhead shark:

The fully fitted features of an adult hammerhead shark are so well-constructed that they draw attention to the genius of their Creator. Also, the well-orchestrated capacity to express variations in body and "hammer" length--but in very few other hammerhead traits--draws even more attention to the One "who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein."

On bee landing strategies:

It is thus most reasonable to infer, based on the scientific observation of bee-landing strategies, that this landing program also arose from an intelligent source. This source had to be ingenious enough to have packed this highly effective, and yet elegantly “simple,” information into something as small as a bee brain. Of course, this seems like exactly something that the God of the Bible could have and would have done.

On seals' ability to use their whiskers to follow fish:

However, those supposed first ocean-going mammals would have faced even more serious issues, since their postulated evolutionary ancestor supposedly resembled a cow. Its attempts to swim would have been highly ineffective due to its hoofed feet and bulky body.4 How could it have caught fish at all without possessing the full suite of traits necessary for swimming and prey detection?

The ease with which evolutionary stories like this can be concocted stands in stark contrast with the difficulties known to exist when engineers seriously attempt to replicate the finely tuned equipment exhibited by marine life, such as sonar or super-sensory seal whiskers. The best explanation for the origin of these complex creatures remains the one presented in Genesis--that on the fifth day of creation, God said, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life," and it was so.
