Creationism – Just Too Divisive?
Did you know that USAmerica has over 600 separate Christian denominations? Each of these movements is testimony to our commitment to doctrinal purity, but they also give evidence to a pervasive problem within the Body of Christ: Our tendency toward division and schism rather than unity when we disagree. Frankly, that’s the light some Christian…
Is Creationism a Side Issue?
Even amongst Bible-believing Christians, not everyone embraces Biblical Creationism and Catastrophism, even though the plain meaning of the Bible expressly teaches a literal 6-day Creation and a world-wide flood. There are a variety of reasons given for rejecting the plain meaning of Scripture in favor of views that accomodate long ages. Some bow before the…
In Principio: Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” The Bible begins at the very start, a fact that bears special significance for Homo sapiens. We are the species with questions. Who are we?

Eating Pork and Shellfish, or Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

Should We Not Teach “Bible Stories?”

Is Christmas a Pagan Holiday? or Why It’s OK To Celebrate Christmas

A Word on Talking Snakes
Some people seem to have a problem with the talking snake of Genesis. They say that it suggests that the Creation account was meant to be taken as allegory or fable, something that teaches truth but is not historically true. OK, so those of you who keep up with this site know that once upon…
Debating Creation Exotheology: Alien Intrusion vs. Strangers & Aliens
Creationists have long noted that when evolutionists refuse to debate, especially when they resort to straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks onstead, that it smacks of having a glass chin. I mean, if you have the better argument, what better way to demonstrate its superiority than through debate? Recently, I wrote a post in…
Making America Great Again Begins With Basic Civility
If we want to build a better America, we can’t do it by tearing one another down.
Pig in a Poke: Why Evolution Weekend Fails As An Example of Reasoned, Civil Discourse
Atheist Michael Zimmerman is promoting his Evolution Weekend as an example of reasoned, civilized discourse. Writing for the HuffPo, Zimmerman claims that: “Thousands upon thousands of Christian clergy members, from Baptists to Quakers and from Methodists to Episcopalians, Lutherans, Roman Catholics and many more, have stated as clearly as possible that their religion and modern…

Two Connecticut Congressmen have introduced Darwin Day resolut ions this year. House Resolution 548 is sponsored by Rep. Jim Hines (CT-4); Senate Resolution 337 is sponsored by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D- Connecticut).
