Resources: Links to Websites We Highly Recommend
(Teachers and homeschoolers, many are particularly for you.  Look especially
for those we note are "A homeschool gem".)

Ravi Zacharias
This man is my favorite Christian apologist.  And at this site, you not only can access his many books and other goodies, you can listen to the past year's worth of his radio broadcasts (see "Broadcast Archive"), free.  I love it!
Christianity Today
One of my favorite magazines (I subscribe).  They cover current events, host excellent discussions on topics of interest to just about everyone, get deeper into subjects than many other magazines.
ASA (American Science Affiliation)
To see "Science in Christian Perspective", visit the home of the ASA, an associa- tion of Christian scientists.  Many resources there, including good discussions about the differences, and difficulties and rewards of, being a Christian in science.
Christians in Science
A British parallel of the ASA, this group offers excellent essays and book reviews about modern Christianity and science and just about all the serious and pressing issues of tradition and today's news. Its a commendable example of what I preach.
Affiliation of Christian Geologists
An association of Christian professionals in the geological sciences, they offer a rich collection of topical essays, news, book reviews, educational resources, and a substantial newsletter.

Space.com
Though this is a commercial news/magazine site, it covers all the latest in space, astronomy, space technology, and exploration happening throughout the world.  It includes excellent articles on life and earth sciences, and lots of space pics.

SpaceDaily
This is very much like Space.com, but not as broad in scope and topic.  It looks more like a news service, focusing more on space industry, science, and politics than Space.com.  Check out DragonSpace (China) & SpaceWar ( all military).
the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes (ING)
Here's one you might never find on your own.  Slow servers and some bad web design, but It's still got some excellent resources for students/homeschools, etc.
It gets you out of the U.S., for a change!  
National Geographic
Just about everyone knows the National Geographic.  Its a great resource for any student, though you've got to filter its constant evolution bias, and tendency to be "trendy" or "politically correct" in science, ecology and other politicized fields, etc.  
The Cave of Lascaux
Forty years ago this cave, where the most famous gallery of prehistoric art was painted, was closed to the public.  Now the French Govt. has opened this beautiful site where you can see, and study, and learn all about these ancient masterpieces.
Dino Directory
This is about the best, most comprehensive, well organized site you'll find on the web, compliments of the British Natural History Museum.  Beautifully illustrated, with interactive features.  Lots more than just dinos - like ants, woodlice, eclipses!
The Dinosauricon
This is not a very pretty site, nor the easiest to use, but it's loaded with resources for us dinosaur nuts.  Maps, charts, drawings and artwork supplement its detailed info on almost every species known .  Best: lots of links to other places.
Dino Russ's Lair
A different Russ, not my site.  Wish it was, but then, I'd have had to do all the work.  Its actually an incredibly comprehensive, well organized (unlike mine!) directory to tons of resources pertaining dinosaurs ... including museums and digs to visit.
Bill Hammack, the EngineerGuy
Fun, informative, fascinating ... a great site.  Really an archive, in print (you read) or RealAudio (you listen) of this man's radio shows (on npr) called Engineering&Life.  All about technologies and the inventors. It was gone for a year, now it's back.  
Inventors Museum
This nice collection of biographies might be what it takes to inspire someone to become an engineer or chemist or inventor.  Special attention is given several catagories not always thought of (women, African American, colonial times, etc.).
The Nine Planets: A Multimedia Tour of the Solar System
OOPS! Officialy, now there are 8! But still a great place to see, read, even hear about our solar system and its friends (moons, asteroids, etc.), its history, mythology, and the latest in scientific knowledge.
Mars Exploration
Our exploration of Mars is sooo underway, this is the one planet we now know a lot about.  And now we're gathering the information we need to visit in person.  This NASA site brings you up to speed and keeps you on top of things!
The Earth Observatory
Another gem from NASA.  Filled with the great images only NASA can supply, it's a vast wealth of earth science, news on space and satellite missions, and so on.  It also features that "Ask a Scientist", where you email your own question to them.
The Encyclopedia of the Atmospheric Environment
Want to learn about the atmosphere and weather and climate and such things as ozone layer and acid rain, etc.?  Well, this site isn't as "fun" or as colorful as many, but it is designed to educate, and is age graded.  Could be a homeschool gem.
Climate Time Line
You'll learn about weather, climate, and the paleoclimate of earth, and how it has affected our ancestors, and how we might be affecting it.  NOAA and the U. of Colorado are building this nifty site into what may soon be a homeschool gem!
Dive and Discover: Expeditions to the Seafloor
This project is actually designed to become a classroom (or homeschool) learning experience.  It partners you up with an actual seafloor expedition, whenever one is in progress.  You can learn a lot about oceanography, here.  Maybe start a career!
WhaleNet
Marine science abounds and comes alive, here.  Movies, news stories, live data on tagged animals, all take you into the real science of studying whales, turtles, porpoise, all marine life!  Set up for students and teachers, it's a homeschool gem!
The Paleomap Project
Now, this is something.  You'll find beautiful maps and 3d images and animations depicting our best guesses about the past 1100 million years of the lands and seas and plate tectonics of our earth.  Even paleoclimates.  A homeschool gem!    
Imagine the Universe
Another superb NASA site, it is designed to teach science, math and astronomy (they say 14 plus, with another site for children, and a "teacher's corner"). Great NASA images, videos, interactive stuff, and accuracy.  A homeschool gem.  
The Jules Verne Collection
Jules Verne was a pioneer, taking the latest scientific theory and discoveries and turning them into the dreams and imaginations of "sci fi". That led many of us into our infactuation, and careers in science. See if this site can help you do that!
KidsAstronomy
This is a great Discovery project.  I'm not always ready to recommend Discovery stuff because the biases get pretty heavy, especially re Evolutionism, but this is an excellent teaching site for the younger set, and ... A homeschool gem.
NASAKIDS
This educational playground is fun even for us bigger kids! NASA seems to be an endless source of great science, and outreach that teaches us science ... and not just space science. For teaching the younger set, it's a real homeschool gem.
The Hubble Heritage Project
Sometimes I think the Hubble telescope was God's gift to me!  I will never tire (or get enough of) the awesome pictures of the glory of His creation.  Here you'll find the cream of the crop, assembled by the NASA team, and links to other A+ sites.
Virtual Chemistry
This IS chemistry!  Everything you need to teach & learn, including lab experiments (in a virtual way).  Very interactive tutorials, animations, all sorts of fun stuff making chemistry easy and enjoyable. Dormant since 2005, but still a homeschool gem.
Mathworld: Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics
What you want to know about mathematics?  An encyclopedic approach to every kind of mathematics you can imagine, this is a sophisticated resource for students and teachers alike.  But it covers fun stuff like puzzles, games, cryptograms, etc.
The MacTutor of Mathematics archive
Got a math nut in your house?  Well, then check this out.  Literally 1000's of biographies of mathematicians, histories of math throughout all history and cultures, and lots of stuff dear to a math nut's heart!
WebElements
Here's a gem that only modern internet technology could produce.  The Periodic Table of the elements is fundamental to physics and chemistry.  This one tells the whole story about each element you click on.
Physics 2000
"An interactive journey through modern physics!  Have fun learning visually and conceptually about 20th Century science and high-tech devices."  An award winner with lots of animated illustrations.  But best for older students.  A homeschool gem.
SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator) Virtual Visitor Center
I put this one in because it's the only way you're ever likely to find out about it. It isn't flashy or full of movies and such, but it is colorful, very usable, and a great rambling collection of good physics. It has so much to teach, I think it's a homeschool gem!
The Official String Theory Website
String theory (or theories) are the cutting edge, the ideas that most scientists are now accepting as the most likely to answer all questions, and unite general relativity and quantum theory,  This is a good place to figure out just what it is!
What's That Stuff?
Mostly fun, kinda trivia, it's a place you can find out just what is behind (history like), and inside that stuff: like lipstick, suntan lotion, cheez whiz, spandex, fireworks, Jello, golfballs, erasers .... gee, lotsa stuff!  Might turn-on a turned-off teen.
How Stuff Works
This guy knows how to explain things.  Everything imaginable: airplanes, picking locks, bat's sonar, hurricanes, animal camouflage, drugs, cloning, Wifi, iPods & iTunes...or hanging Sadam! A great trivia site.  
Animated Engines
Just a nifty site that shows you how every motor and engine you can think of (a few you never heard of) works, using very clear and simple animated line drawings (gif's).  It's a great way to learn mechanics, engineering, and the science of energy.
IEEE (Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers) Virtual Museum
All about electricity, electronics, everythings electrical, Everything! Gets you interested in them! Some topics: TV, radio, fibre optics, batteries, generators, telegraphs, Morse Code come with recordings. Check it out!  
Pedaling History Bicycle Museum
It's not just kids who love bikes. Anyone who wants know (or research, write a paper, etc) about them will find this place a great place to start (or even finish).  Past, present, and future of bikes and places to go and see, too.  
DNA From the Beginning
A good, basic teaching resource: "An animated primer on the basics of DNA, genest, and heredity."  Very multimedia, very detailed in its approach and organization, its a classroom and class in a website.  Homeschooling delight!
Seeing, Hearing, and Smelling the World
These are the senses through which we percieve our world.  They are the means by which we assemble the information that underlies what we believe.  What we believe is the foundation of all our faith.  This (medical) site is very, very good.
Microbe World
Everything you might want to know about microbes and viruses, you might find here.  It's actually a set of three sites, one especially intended to supply teachers with complete (pdf files) lessons, and another especially for younger children.
The Internet Archive: Building an "Internet Library"
If it's digital, they want to store it here. It started out an archive of the www past, just collecting webpages, but now it houses 1000's of movies and other cultural artifacts as well.  It's growing so fast, who knows what you'll find there now.
The Living Internet
You can learn all about the internet, here, its history, technology, and how to use it.  I wish I could have known about this a few years ago. Gotta admit, it's a dull site, little in color or images or the stuff we love, but it's VERY informative!
The Internet Public Library
This is it, the biggest library "Reference Desk" there is (outside the library of Congress).  Just ask about a topic, or an author, or a magazine or newspaper, or help in writing a thesis.  You'll get it.  Special sections for teens and for youth, too.  
The Why Files
Rather like a weekly magazine, it digs into "The science behind the news".  Its roots are in the U. of Wisconsin Graduate School, and the NSF, and all I can say is that its a great magazine at any price, and its price is free!
Places You Can Visit
Here are another set of links which take you to places you can visit.  They will send you to the home pages of such things as museums, shops, archeological sites, all located in (my home turf) North America, that you can visit on vacations, etc.
Especially for Home Schooling
A set of links selected for their usefulness in teaching. They usually include curricula, lesson plans, projects, media to create a home classroom,etc.  If you home school, don't miss these! Examples: N.Y. Times Learning Network, NASA Educational Products, Astronomical Society Ed Page, AstroCapella. etc.
Simply Treasures
This is just something very personal, sites I have found so nice or beautiful or so pleasing to my spirit I couldn't let them get lost. I just have to share them with someone. You know, like a special meadow or mountain trail overlook ...
Have You a Link You'd Like to Share or Recommend?
Send us an email and tell us about it!  We are always looking for honest, accurate, informative sites about science and religion, and such.  It's an endless labyrinth, the internet - filled with resources but full of junk, too.  We all need roadsigns and help.
To Purchase Hey Mom, What About Dinosaurs?
Hey Mom takes you into the process, into the science and linguistics, that brought us this revolutionary re-translation and interpretation of the record of creation given in the book of Genesis.  This new understanding of the creation account shows it to be a scientifically reasonable and accountable theory of origins, fully up to scientific scrutiny.
FREE:  Prepublication Manuscript of "That Blessed Hope"
That Blessed Hope, by Russell Husted, is the most thorough scriptural research and study of what the Christian Church calls "The Rapture".  If this is a subject that you are interested in, follow this link to more information, and a FREE copy (PDF file) of the book.
