Positive

It's common for anyone to get negative comments. But we have gotten enough encouragement via emails that we thought it was time to post some of those, too. These are just some from part of 2009 and the beginning of 2010.

I've now read a large number of the research papers on your site as well as many linked docs - very interesting concepts at play here. You guys have done a great job of bringing together a good mix of material that allows a layperson to grasp the concepts, while still offering more depth for those who want it.

Thanks again to you...and all the others who are contributing to this work.

I always so enjoy reading your replies. Thank you for always taking time out of your day to explain things to me whenever I ask something. You're very kind, and I totally respect your knowledge and insights. Thank you!

First of all I just want to say THANK YOU for your research and the wonderful material, DVDs and Printed material, which you have offered on your site. I have been very interested in your work on the speed of light from the beginning when you wrote in “Creation, TJ”. I was greatly disappointed when your articles stopped and I didn’t see any more on the subject. Then several months ago I saw an article in “Bible and Spade” entitled “Making Sense of the Days of Peleg” where Richard D. Lanser wrote about your work. I was very interested in that article and I immediately went to your web site.

I have been overwhelmed after reading all your articles and viewing the DVDs offered on your site. I just received your latest material “The Bible and Geology” and I am looking forward to reading it. I showed the video on the star of Bethlehem in my home Bible Study which I conduct on Tues evenings and the response was great.

I just enjoyed myself immensely at your website for a few minutes, and will definitely come back.

Thank you for so generously sharing the insights and results of all your hard study. Obviously, I have a huge amount of reading and catch up study to accomplish.

This is just to say thanks for your inspiring outlook.
I read ICR, AiG most days but today I came across your website.
I think what impressed me most was the humility of your approach.
There is a predominance of intellectual hubris out there among the 'educated', both theists and atheists.
Secondly your persistence in the face of adversity.
(The conventional creationist view is to dismiss Setterfield as an embarrassment)
Thirdly your uncompromising faith in the Bible.
It reminds me of Maxwell Clerk.
I also loved your explanation about the speed of starlight to a child.
That reminded me of Feynman-although he was encumbered with lots of intellectual hubris too.
God blesses you obviously but this is just to offer encouragement which we all need as humans from our fellows.
Now I can put up Russell Humphreys book”Starlight and Time” – it was useful in that it showed that time is plastic in God’s hands. The ZPE theory looks to encompass so much more.
I also loved Helen’s Calvinism article. I once applied for a job at a Calvinist school where I needed to affirm selection and Calvinism has irritated me ever since. Its good to see a Scripture based rejection of Calvinism. My previous argument was based on’ Jesus knocks on every door, but we choose to let Him in. He does not knock on select doors.

I personally find the light speed decay theory as very satisfying intellectually. Also, the plasma cosmology is very compelling. I didn't really consider it as much until you spoke about it, and then I looked it up. It's almost a no brainer to me that plasma is the key to many features of the universe...and gravitational models are probably over-hyped.

I have to thank God for Barry’s perseverance in the face of adversity. His C decay ideas are the only thing that makes any sense to me as far as Biblical creation and the age of the universe/earth is concerned. I remember getting a copy of his monograph from SRI back in 1987: it was like a breath of fresh air for me.

I have just recently come across your work and feel like I have come home! For years I have squared the accounts of the bible and science (being from a science backgound myself) by passing Genesis off (in particular) as 'allegorical' and always telling christian friends that we must not ignore the scientific evidence. I was uncomfortable with all the scientific explanations, though, and suspected things were not quite right. I was aware that data was data and that the scientific explanations throughout history had been modified (in some cases drastically) in the light of new evidence. Hence, the Newtonian view becoming the Einsteinian view. So I was left with..'well this is what I currently believe until such time as new evidence indicates otherwise'....So I started to trawl for any information and that is when (Praise the lord!) I came across your work. I feel like I am the happiest man alive because this has been with me and troubled me for some time. BLESS YOU!!!!...I have been on a high since discovering your work.
