Trust and Obey
This video and article are based on a talk given by Richard to Year 11 leavers in 2021 about the challenge of becoming adults. Inspiration is taken from the old hymn Trust and Obey.

The Recessive Stage of the Flood

The Recessive Stage of the Flood
In this article, Richard introduces an article by Michael Oard about the formation of continental shelves during the latter phase of the Flood. These are the areas of the ocean bed that slope down from the continental coasts prior to going down into the deeper parts of the oceans, and evidence shows that they are formed from sedimentary rocks. They are best explained in terms of the movements that would have occurred during the second half of the Flood. As the mountains were raised and the ocean beds sunk to enable the flood waters to recede from the land, the massive movement of water would have caused large amounts of sediment to be washed from land towards the ocean bases. This concept is far better than any attempt to explain the formation of continental shelves in terms of gradual processes in a long age world history.

Our response to the Last Days
In this video and article, Richard introduces a list of ten points to help us consider how we should approach the challenge of living in the last days.
The Bacterial Flagellum

Irreducible complexity – Bacterial Flagellum
This video and article, make reference to the work of Prof. Michael Behe, who back in the 1990s, introduced the concept of “irreducible complexity” in biological systems. This concept relates to the idea that working systems are so complex, that they have to be fully in place in order for any part of them to be of any use. One of the key examples used is that of the bacerial flagellum, which is the device used to propel and provide mobility to a bacterial cell. Given that many biological systems are irreducibly complex, the only reasonable conclusion is that they must be the work of an intelligent designer rather than via a process of evolution and random mutations.
Science and Miracles

Science and Miracles
In this video and article, Richard talks about the implication of scientific method in relation to the supernatural. It is totally reasonable that observable things should be interpreted in terms of science and natural causes wherever possible. This does not however rule out the fact that other things such as creation, the Flood and modern miracles cannot reasonably be explained by science and must be attributed to the divine work of God.
Origin of Coal

Origin of Coal
In this video, Richard introduces an article about the formation of the upper (Cenozoic) layers of coal that are found extensively across the globe, and how this fits in well with the model of a global flood. Coal will have been created as a result of trees being uprooted by the movement of the flood waters, and forming into floating log mats which will then have been deposited into the earth as the oceans receded in the latter stages of the flood. This, like many other observed geological formations, is far better explained in terms of a recent worldwide flood than a long age earth history.
Creation, Fall & Redemption Questions

Creation, Fall & Redemption Questions
This post is linked to the same article as the earlier post God as Lord of History and Geography, but the video takes a different approach. Richard here asks questions as to how we might look at God’s purposes in history, in relation to both His original plans in creation and the working out of His redemptive plan for mankind.
Teaching What and How

Teaching What and How
In this video and article, Richard shares some thoughts on his career as a teacher. Whilst teaching, like many other professions, has become stressful these days with increasing demands, we perhaps need to come back to basics by concentrating on being a teacher of good things rather than a good teacher of things.
Signs that we are in the last days

Signs that we are in the last days
In this video and article, Richard reflects on today’s world and how many modern trends tie up with what has been prophesied in the Bible. These include advances in technology, economics and wealth, but also included is the increase in opposition to Christianity and the Church.
Bacteria in Ancient Rocks
[Posted on: 18 March 2025]
Bacteria in Ancient Rocks
In this video, Richard introduces an article about the finding of bacteria in sedimentary rock that is located beneath the seabed. This rock has been dated at over 100 million years by conventional methods, and yet some of these bacteria have been so intact, that is has actually been possible to revive them and bring them back to life. It would not be possible for these bacteria to survive millions of years and the findings can only mean that they are no more than a few thousand years old.
