    I love you, Tom. For several reasons: 1. Your tree knowledge is enviable and I have learned a lot from you from "lurking" on here over the years. Heck, I've been trying to save up to get my chipper painted, but you have me half inspired to tackle the job myself now from your comments in...

    I know. It had me for a minute.

    I'll have to read the paper when I have a chance. That video is great! It is an April Fool's day prank they put out in 2008. At first, I was like "what?!" Those wings look way too small to carry their weight, but they did a good job making it look real.

    #11 Happy Friday, guys! Here’s another one from the book Inspired Evidence by Bruce Malone. I think this is pretty cool: Have you considered the timber beetle larva? This thumb-sized insect eats trees by slicing through wood fiber with its mandibles, or jaws. That’s what Oregon logger Joseph...

    #10 It’s been a busy week and I’m a little late on this one. Spring is my favorite time of the year and I have been enjoying working in the yard and flowerbeds. With Spring comes rain, and I had a couple of rain days earlier in the week and used that time to do my taxes. I usually start on...

    Yeah, I'm not saying he didn't say that, but I would like to see the context. I have one Gish book, which I don't think I ever read the whole thing, but the title is 'Evolution: The Fossils Still Say No!". So, just going from the title, I doubt he holds the view from the quote in question.

    Evidence? Do you have a beneficial mutation to point to as evidence? Or a lizard leg in the midst of a transition to a wing for evidence? The fossil record is quite extensive, yet no one has found any solid proof for such transitions between kinds. If evolution is true, the record should be...

    I'm assuming you disagree with something in this? I think the banana bit is interesting, but is not undeniable "proof". However, in light of all the other incontestable proofs for a creator, I can look at a banana and say, "Wow, isn't that cool and interesting. Is this a coincidence? I don't...

    #9 King Solomon was blessed with special wisdom by the Lord. His fame was known around the world and people traveled from all around to hear him speak. What did he speak of? “Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore...

    It seems I've been effectively banned from this site.

    The same is happening I have experienced the same exact problem for the past week and have been thinking the same thing. This is the first time in a week that I've gotten pages to load and been able to post. Only happens once I log in. Every other site works fine and fast...

    #8 The following is an excerpt from Inspired Evidence by Julie Von Vett and Bruce Malone. A few posts back, we discussed petrified trees crossing through several different layers of rock. This is sort of along the same lines and I thought it would be a fitting follow-up. “It does not take...

    #7 Have you ever thought of tree work as a special calling or even a holy calling? I’ve been reading 1 Kings lately and came across something I thought was really cool. In chapter 7, during the reign of King Solomon, the first temple was being constructed. 1 Kings 7:13 says, “Now King Solomon...

    I fear we might be talking past each other. I agree, we have to enter through the narrow gate of Jesus Christ. "Wide is the way that leads to destruction..." "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me..." There is nothing we can do to save ourselves...

    Hey, Willber. Glad you are here and thank you for your posts. I think I have heard that quote before, and that is definitely an interesting thought. Also, yes, our holiness and obedience are very important to God. In that passage in John 15 you quoted, which took place the night before Jesus...

    #6 What’s your view of heaven? Are you looking forward to it? If we’re being honest, I feel like a lot of us probably think it sounds boring. This is likely because we haven’t given it much thought or spent time studying it. As a result, we don’t have an accurate picture of what it will be...

    We could easily derail this and debate evolution. I'll refrain for now. The mosquito point is a real head scratcher, but in the biblical account, Noah did not pick the animals. He displayed obedience and took the animals that God sent to him. Also, please note that nowhere did I say that...

    #5 The Bible is often pitted against science and Christians are often viewed as unscientific. You know the story: Creation vs. Evolution; Young Earth vs. Millions of Years… Perhaps, this has been a hang-up for you and has held you back from embracing the Bible as God’s Word or held you back...

    #4 We work in and around trees every day, but how often do we stop and think about how incredibly complex organisms they are? Where did they come from? Some people devote their whole lives to studying them. You could fill your shelves with books on tree biology and still not know all there is...
