On June 24, 2010, Associated Baptist Press reported on a sermon delivered on the same day by Dr. Wm. Richard Kremer to Garden Lakes Baptist Church in Rome, GA, entitled, Is the Bible Inerrant? Dr. Kremer’s sermon begins with the following claim, which I find utterly baseless for reasons I shall relate afterwards: “Few words in the […]

Recently, a fellow named David Evarts posted a rather subversive comment on the Defending Genesis Facebook page, hoping to attract Biblical Young Earth Creationists over to what he sees as a more reasonable point of view. He began with the following statement: “Christians and other theists are, by definition Creationists. As such, the debate isn’t […]
In a post called “A theological argument against young earth creationism,” J W Wartick has argued that Biblical (young earth) Creationism is “morally impermissible.” His reasoning? Because animals died because of Adam’s sin, not because of anything they themselves did. If you’re reading that from an orthodox Christian worldview, something about his argument should be […]
It’s becoming more and more common for those who to accuse Young Earth Creationists of causing people, particularly younger generations of falling away from the faith. I call it the “Smeller’s the Feller” [STF] argument. Basically, Biblical Creationists have pointed out that something stinks, that our people are leaving the Church just as they abandoned […]
Old Earth Creationists often object to the idea that the observation that they are imposing millions of years upon a Bible which does not teach anything of the sort. But where in the Bible do you find any mention of the Earth being millions of years old? Nowhere. The Bible does not say this. Most […]
Imagine you are in command of military forces defending a castle. You have lots of things to worry about. Your enemy will use catapults and trebuchet to hurl rocks, incendiary devices, hornet’s nests and plague-ridden horse carcasses over your walls. They will use battering rams to bash in your fortified gates. They will scale your […]
A few months ago, I found myself in the crosshairs of Rob Boston and Americans United for pointing out the hot air and misinformation in “rev” Barry Lynn’s “Ark Park” video on youTube. Barry Lynn, is of course the Executive Director of the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. On the surface, […]
Paul Lalonde, owner of Cloud Ten Pictures recently wrote a post called: The Earth is Young, This I Know, For the Bible Tells Me So in which he wondered, ” What if the Bible didn’t mention the age of the earth, or even suggested the earth was already here for some unspecified period of time before […]
I’ve recently been posed a very cogent question, one that I get a lot actually: “How can you say that God created in six solar days when the sun is clearly created on the 4th day???” I do often use the term “solar day” when I’m refering to Genesis. When some people read Genesis, they impose man’s […]
Noticing the title, A Biblical Case for an Old Earth, of one of the Related Posts that WordPress linked to my Were Adam & Eve Real? post, I noticed something curious, nowhere did he actually USE THE BIBLE to make his “Biblical Case” for Old Earth. I’ve noted that the Clergy Letter Project approvingly links […]
I must apologize for the brevity of this post. I have small children and due to the lateness of the hour, I was unable to hear the entirety of Dr. Mastropaolo‘s 2nd lecture at the 6th Annual KCSG Creation Conference. My notes are therefor incomplete. He began his lecture with a question: “How old is […]
