HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you all are doing well. I apologize for the month of silence on the newsletter.

At the end of December I was married to my beautiful gal Debbie. So the process of that wonderful event took up time. Also, the past couple weeks I have been putting my computer together again after having to fix some software issues.

I thought at the beginning of the new year it would be a good idea to remind ourselves of the importance of following the scripture. Here is the text provided by Answers in Genesis that follows the illustration below.

This illustration shows people the importance for Christians to build all their thinking in every area on the Bible. Sadly, most Christians have been so secularized that they take the world's thinking to the Bible, instead of using the Bible as a history book that is foundational to their Christian worldview.

While the Bible is not a science textbook (science textbooks change every year), where it touches on science, or any subject, it is totally trustworthy. Thus the Bible, as a revelation of history from the beginning to the end of time, is the foundation that enables us to construct the big picture, and thus have the right approach in geology, biology, astronomy, morality, salvation, etc.

The book of Genesis, of course, is the foundational book to the rest of the Bible. Beginning with Genesis, and continuing through the rest of the Bible, the revelation of history through Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation (the seven C's) should be used as the foundation for all our thinking.

The Five Real Dinosaur "Ages" Part 1

Dinosaurs are often thought of as having lived millions of years ago.

The names of the "ages" in which they supposedly lived (Triassic, Jurassic, etc.) reinforce the popular belief in millions of years. Why not think of dinosaurs in biblical terms? This series of drawings will help you teach the history of dinosaurs in a true biblical and historical way.

The five ages are Formed, Fallen, Flood (seen in December 11, 2003 Newsletter), Faded, Found.

Formed c. 4004 BC
God brought dinosaurs into existence on the sixth day of the very first week in the history of the universe, about 6,000 years ago. On the same day, He made the other animals that make their homes on land, and with Adam and Eve. It was a perfect place in which all living things dined on the plants that God created for them to eat.
