How Televangelist Pat Robertson Should Have Answered Concerned Mother Michelle’s Dinosaur Question

A viewer named Michelle asked the following of televangelist Pat Robertson: “I have three teenage boys and now two of them are questioning the Bible. This scares me!

A viewer named Michelle asked the following of televangelist Pat Robertson: “I have three teenage boys and now two of them are questioning the Bible. This scares me!

Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? Answering the Friendly Atheist’s Not-So-Friendly Objection

Hemant Mehta, a Chicago math teacher who blogs as the so-called Friendly Atheist, took an obligatory potshot at Ken Ham for promoting the “Were you there?” tactic when he speaks to children who are being brainwashed into the tenets of humanism. Atheists, humanists and evolutionists of all stripes simply hate this tactic and no wonder, […]

Was Noah A Millionaire? James McGrath’s Theology Stumbles On Scripture

What you’re about to read is what happens when a man who doubts the historical veracity of the Bible finds something in the Bible that contradicts his loosely Bible-inspired theology. Basically, he’s stubbed an opinion on a passage of Scripture. It’s sad. It’s instructive. It underscores the truth of Jesus’ warning in John 3:12 about the interconnectedness of […]

Evolutionary Theology: Where Scientific and Biblical Illiteracy Go Hand in Hand

Joel Watts, the misguided theology student who would rather Kentucky open up a porn shop than the Biblically-affirming Ark Encounter, has recently commented on an exchange between Rev. Paul Wallace and Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis. Rev. Wallace made the following statement: “But there are other kinds of illiteracy. There is, for example, scientific illiteracy. […]

Answers Book 4 Teens (AB4T) – By Bodie Hodge & Tommy Mitchell, with Ken Ham (New Leaf Publishing) 2011

My own drift from traditional Christianity to agnostic began shortly after I transferred from a Bible-affirming Christian school to a public high school. When I questioned evolution and the age of the Earth in my physical science class, the teacher scolded me and told me I only believed in Creationism because that’s what my parents […]

Theological Newspeak: Why Some Folks Call Me, Ken Ham and Other Biblical Creationists “Radical Liberals”

A few weeks ago, Joel Watts responded to one of my posts concerning the British Humanist Association’s efforts to mandate by law the exclusive and uncritical teaching of orthodox evolution in UK schools. He basically sided with the humanists that evolution needs legal protection. This is the usual reaction of extraBiblical creationists [those who give […]

Ark Wars: More Willful Ignorance About Dinosaurs, Noah’s Ark and the Ark Encounter

As most of you know, I debunked a rather poorly-conceived video on YouTube in which humanist Barry Lynn of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State attacked the up-coming Ark Encounter attraction. Lynn condescendingly referred to the Ark Encounter as the ”Ark Park” and offered mockery and misinformation. Here’s how Lynn described it: “…I got into a […]

Just the Facts – Concerning Rob Boston’s Defense of “rev” Barry Lynn’s Ark Snark Video

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, […]

PZ Myers on Why Creationists Believe, or A Look at an Evolutionist’s Double Standard

Recently on “rev” Barry Lynn’s Culture Shocks program, PZ Myers commented on geocentrism. After stating that such folks affirm that the Earth is the center of the galaxy or universe or whatever based on scientific ignorance ["It's pretty easy to dismiss what you don't understand," opines Myers], he made the following estimation: “Also, they’ve got […]

Flawed Gallup Poll Nonetheless Demonstrates Confusion Over the Word of God

Recently, Gallup released a bulletin that claimed the following: “Three in 10 Americans interpret the Bible literally, saying it is the actual word of God. That is similar to what Gallup has measured over the last two decades, but down from the 1970s and 1980s. A 49% plurality of Americans say the Bible is the […]

Ark Wars: Brother Joel Would Rather Kentucky Open Up a Porn Shop Than the Ark Encounter!

You read that correctly. Over at the Unsettled Christianity [a name that betrays a serious misunderstanding of what it means to hold fast to the faith once delivered] blog, Joel Watts [known as Brother Joel to my readership] posted “rev” Barry Lynn’s mocking propaganda piece to his readers with the following comments: “Good for him! I […]
