This weekend, atheist Dr. Michael Zimmerman is once again encouraging churches to preach Darwin from their pulpits. He claims that his Clergy Letter Project, signed by over 12,000 members of predominantly liberal clergy, shows that evolution and Christianity are compatible so long as we define religious truth as dealing with doctrine and morality and scientific […]
According to Barna.org, Charleston/Huntington, WV ranks #10 of America’s Most and Least Bible-Minded Cities, with 47% of the population qualifying as Bible-minded. This compares to the Most Bible-Minded city, Knoxville, TN [52%] and the Least Bible-minded, Providence, RI [9%]. The most Bible-minded cities tended to be from the South, while the least tended to be […]
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! They tell me if the Bible is truth then I should be able to reasonably explain the existence of dinosaurs. This is just on of many things […]

One of my favorite BBC television shows is Primeval. Oh, I know the show [like almost all BBC fare] presupposes millions of years of microbes-to-man evolution, but what can I say? I like ‘prehistoric’ beasties. The premise of the show is that little rifts in space-time appear on occasion, allowing dinosaurs and other ‘prehistoric’ creatures […]

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do was to provide ministry supporters with a way to get your hands on resources we think will benefit you and your children. There are a lot of good books and DVDs out there related to apologetics and the origins issue. If we’re honest, there’s also a […]
No Bible-affirming Christian should EVER use the term “retard,” “retarded” or any other variant of the R-word. It is grievously insensitive and hateful to use someone else’s disability as an insult. Persons with mental disabilities are made in the image of God… in a fallen world.
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 […]
