Contributed by William Meakin on Mar 27, 2023

Spring is defined as the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear, in the northern hemisphere from March to May and in the southern hemisphere from September to November.

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023

The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?
