Dr. Michael Zimmerman, the atheist who started the pro-evolution Clergy Letter Project and Evolution Weekend, has written a new post at the liberal Huffington Post called, Evolution Weekend: Now More Than Ever! He begins his post with blatant misinformation: “For the past 11 years, hundreds of religious congregations, congregations from a wide array of religious persuasions…

God Rested: How the Sabbath Day Destroys a Critic’s Argument Against Young Earth Creationism
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…
Were You There, Karl Giberson? How Biologos Dismisses the Testimony of the Creator
Recently, I came across an article by Karl Giberson, Vice President of BioLogos, called Creationists Drive Young People Out of the Church. The title refers to his interpretation of the meaning of a Barna survey: Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church. Reason #3 was “Churches come across as antagonistic to science.” In Giberson’s zeal to paint Bioblical Creationists…
His Church Has Been Participating in Evolution Sunday Since 2009 – But He Doubts His Pastor Knew About It!
As I mentioned in a recent post, I decided to call all of the congregations from right here in West Virginia who were slated to participate in atheist Dr. Michael Zimmerman’s infamous Evolution Weekend to confirm whether they were in fact participating. The results were a bit surprising, to say the least. One of…
Evolution Weekend 2012 Is Pretty Much A Bust Here In West Virginia
It just ain’t happening, folks. On a whim, I decided to call all of the congregations from right here in West Virginia who were slated to participate in atheist Dr. Michael Zimmerman’s infamous Evolution Weekend to confirm whether they were in fact participating. I hadn’t heard anything [at all] from the seven churches and synogogues…
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…
I Call It Fascism: A Critique of the British Humanist Association’s “Teach Evolution, Not Creationism” Position Statement
Secular humanists, atheists and evolution enforcement groups [posing as “science advocacy groups”] have given up scientific debate. Instead they’ve resorted to a more fascist approach: mockery and legal suppression of alternative theories or dissent from Darwin in any form. Now they want even more, and what they want would make Galileo turn over in his grave. A…
There Is No Science But Naturalism and Darwin Is Its Prophet! [Revisited]
If science cannot comment on the supernatural, then it cannot rule it out; it can only come up with all-natural answers that may or may not be true, and are most certainly false where supernatural agency was actually responsible!
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…
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…
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! And it’s too obviously a plug for his new book,…
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…
