Proclaiming the Gospel with Evidence to All Peoples Everywhere
In the last issue of the Happ-O-getics I began this as a four-part series. The first evidence (the central truth) is that the inspired Word of God teaches it. The second is: A global flood is supported by the evidence in the fossils.
In my doctoral work in biology, the fossil record was the showcase of science. Today, fossil evidence has been preempted by creationists and proponents of a global flood. Why?

It used to be that only an elephant knew how his trunk (nose) works. Now science has “nosed” in! The elephant uses his trunk as an all-purpose tool.
Sometimes he uses it to grab things, being equally adept at picking up vegetables and tortilla chips. He can also use it as a leaf blower. At other times it is like a shop vac, slurping three liters of water per second to a capacity of nine liters. Contrary to popular thinking, elephants can’t drink through their trunks but suck it up and hose it into their mouths. A 23,000 pound elephant uses its trunk to deliver 400 pounds of food to its mouth each day.
Scientists are applying aspects of the physics of the elephant trunk in the design of robots. There is an obvious lesson here: if a robot must have an engineer, then an elephant must have an Intelligent Creator. This evidence is right under our noses!

I did a brief article on the Shroud of Turin about a year ago (Happ-O-getics, May 2022, Vol. 2, Issue 5). The Shroud is thought by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus (Matthew 27:59). What was already known at that time?
Additional evidence has now advanced the authenticity to make it nearly certain to be the burial cloth of Jesus. The Shroud is the most studied artifact in human history.
The radioactive measurement of the cloth in 1988 that indicated a thirteenth century origin, has now been conclusively shown to be based on a fiber of a reconstructed part of the Shroud (repaired after a fire). New evidence is two-fold. The flax fibers in the Shroud contain a compound called vanillin which decays at a fixed rate. If the Shroud was medieval in origin there should be at least a third of the vanillin left. There was none left, meaning the fiber is much older. Second, a new X-ray method of dating was used to make many measurements of the cloth. A first century date has been established. The cloth is from the time of Jesus.
