It’s About Time Book Testimonial – Bob Webster

Lectures, ,

david signingThe Book of Mormon Evidence Conference was held the second weekend in April. It was an honor to be a forum speaker. The subject of my address was: The Lord’s promise: “Nothing Shall Be Withheld,” which was divided into two, one hour lectures.

I was also privileged to assist at the booth of my editor, Boyd Tuttle, of Legends Library. It was delightful to meet so many people and sign their purchased book, “It’s About Time.”

Also, kind individuals who had previously purchased and read the book stopped by to say, “Hello!” It was nice to chat with them and received their feedback.

Recently, I received this much appreciated testimonial from Bob Webster of Pleasant Grove Utah, which I would like to share.

The Power of Prayer Is Real – Mary Owen’s Miracle

Documented Power of Prayer

Mary Owen mt. hood When her ice-axe broke loose at 4:00 a.m. on Mt. Hood, Mary Owen, our grand-daughter, fell 40 feet into a snow slope going down into an icy stream. She scrambled to stop herself just before going into the stream. During the fall a tree root or limb impaled her near her groan making an eight inch gouge coming within a ¼ inch of the ephemeral artery.

Standing an Egg on Its End – Exciting Science With an Egg

Science, ,

standing-egg-on-endStanding an egg on it’s end is an good example of the UFT (United Field Theory) you can experiment with. You can be a scientist in your own kitchen and improve on Einstein.

About a hundred years ago, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves. Einstein was working on the UFT before he died, but did not finish the work. Many have been working on it since, and there has been major progress with no actual proof….that is until now!

Learn How GPS Works in Five Minutes!

Get Ready to Paint a Picture in Your Mind

GPS Satellites Around The Earth
GPS Satellites Around The Earth

Think in your minds eye that you can look up into the sky and see three GPS satellites in very different parts of the heavens.  Think further that you have three looooooooooooooong measuring sticks that are able to reach out from you to each of the three satellites, so that you have a way of measuring the distance to each of them.

The picture you have is an upside down tripod with you at the focal point, and with each of the three GPS satellites at the end of each stick.  This, of course, is totally absurd in practice, but there is a fascinating way to do the equivalent that is practical using the speed of light as your measuring stick.  If you are traveling in your car at 60 miles per hour (~90 kph), and you travel for an hour, you know the distance you have traveled is 60 miles.

Come to Christ and Conquer Satan

How Does The Great Deceiver Work?

Living in the most exciting time in the history of the Earth and the great deceiver knowing it is his last hour, it behooves us to know his tactics that we are not deceived.  Some of the subtlest lies being perpetrated are, “There is no devil.”   And, “In our sophisticated society people are not possessed by devils; that is a New Testament thing.”

We live in the day of the great division: Those who are humble followers of Christ and those otherwise.  Satan, unfortunately, is having massive success with “those otherwise,” who are not so wise as to the subtleness of Satan!  Satan will do anything to turn us away from Christ or to keep us from coming to Him.

Why Did I Write the Book?

Spirituality, ,

Get The Book

A book about science and religion is a rare combination in today’s world, especially coming from a scientist.  However, I felt inspired to do so and thus took on the task.

Beginnings

Upon returning home from Mesa, AZ., after helping  my  friend with his science book,  I had the strong impression that I should write a book. My friend was some years away from finishing his and I felt as he did, that science without God is not true science.

For me, God is the master physicist, as well as master of any other discipline you care to mention.  Having published a lot of papers and having been involved with writing chapters in several books, I had a good feel for what I was up against in such a task. However, being in my late seventies, I wasn’t sure I wanted to write a book.  Self-aggrandizement was not a motivator, but for me the question was, “Did that impression come from the Lord?”

Scientific Evidence for Noah’s Flood

Science, , ,

enhydro-quartz crystalsScience and religion are coming together through new evidence that Noah’s flood actually happened just as it is written about in the Bible.

There are two basic assumptions made by scientists regarding the geology of the Earth that have led most of them to disbelieve in the Bible.  I show both assumptions are flawed in Chapter 6 of my book.  The first assumption is that things change gradually over time (many millions of years) – the evolutionary assumption.  The second assumption is a spin-off of the first: if you include God, then it is not science.

Manifestation of God’s Love

Spirituality, ,

Aren’t you glad when you see that God is in the details of your life – manifesting His infinite love for you?

Some years ago, Rod Meldrum, a dear friend, introduced us to a man whom Rod had helped in writing a science book. They invited me, a scientist and a devout believer in Christ, to help.  It was a massive project and he had been working on it for a couple of decades.  I didn’t have time at that moment – being involved with other research projects.

During the winter of 2012-13, we felt to go down to Mesa, AZ., with our Fifth-wheel camping trailer and give him the help he needed.  I had also promised another dear friend, Jacqueline Olson, that if I ever went to Mesa I would give a fireside for a group of her friends.
