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

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.

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.

Have Biblical Creationists Abandoned Orthodox Christianity? A Response to Jonathan Dudley’s ‘Christian Faith Requires Accepting Evolution’

Jonathan Dudley, author of a book called ‘Broken Faith: The Abuse of Science and Faith in American Politics,’ has written a piece over at the liberal HuffPo called “Christian Faith Requires Accepting Evolution.” It’s not just the grandaddy of non sequitur – it’s just plain wrong!

Ark Wars: How False “Reverend” Barry Lynn Distorts the Facts but Proves Answers In Genesis’ Point

Recently, the kind folks at Americans United for Separation of Church and State sent me an email telling me about a special message from “Rev” Barry Lynn concerning the “Ark Park.” I never asked to be signed up to their spam feeder; I simply asked them to verify the “reverend’s” credentials and beliefs… and they…

Many of you have read my previous article regarding Great Homeschool Conventions’ outrageous decision to permanently ban Ken ham and Answers in Genesis from all future conventions for calling Dr. Peter Enns of Biologios a compromiser for, well, compromising the plain meaning of Scripture for an arbitrarily applied “incarnational” interpretation of Scripture. GHC have remained tight-lipped…

Are Old Earth & Young Earth Creationism Both Biblical, Orthodox Interpretations? A Response to Dr Jay Wile’s Big Tent Orthodoxy Position & the 21st Century Down-Grade

The other day I received a phone call from a rather delightful Orthodox Presbyterian. Mr. Jonathan Orcutt, a Biblical Creationist, called to encourage me, having read some of my comments on Dr. Jay Wile’s blog site. Mr. Orcutt was most upset over this Great Homeschool Conventions debacle in which Ken Ham has been judged a sinner for…

Providing Things Honest In the Sight of All Men: Ken Ham, Susan Wise Bauer and the Great Homeschool Convention

A comment on Brother Joel’s site brought my attention to a post on Susan Wise Bauer’s forums, entitled, With reluctance, trying to set the record straight: “After moderating the comments on my blogs this morning, it has become clear to me that there’s some misinformation out there.
