Creation.com’s Shaun Doyle has made the argument that the Mosaic covenant actually prevented science from developing. Yes. You read that correctly. He commits this theological overreach in his zeal to force the Bible In an article entitled Aliens and the Bible: Should we leave room for the possibility of sentient aliens?, Doyle lays out his…

Jurassic World gives us food for thought on Man’s Dominion and the Tragedy of Death
I’ve seen Jurassic World twice now and I wouldn’t mind a third helping! I love the entire premise! What’s not to love? It’s got dinosaurs, Chris Pratt, those awesome gyrosphere vehicles and even includes several nods to the original movie for us diehard fans. And did I mention dinosaurs?? [Spoiler Alert! I’m discussing a movie…
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! 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…
Revealed Science? Why Televangelist Pat Robertson Denies A Young Earth
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!

Objections to Young Earth Creationism Often Reveal A Basic Misunderstanding of Science
Recently, I ran across a few comments about this image on a site called atheistthinktank.net. I really don’t expect fans on these sites, but I was surprised to see that their basic objections reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of the debate. For example, take this comment by someone who sadly identifies themself as nogodsforme: “What the eff? I…
Persons With mental Disabilities, Biblical Creationism & the R-Word
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.
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…
Would Jesus Affirm Evolution?
I ran across a post from theistic evolutionist Paul Wallace that asks readers to tell him how Christ might answer the question, “Hey Jesus, Creation or evolution?” Paul doesn’t give his opinion directly, of course, but the way he frames the list of possible answers makes it pretty clear which way he might lean. In any case,…
Ark Wars: No, Kentucky Is Not Taking Money From Public Schools And Giving It To the Ark Encounter
I unapologetically support the Ark Encounter. The Ark Encounter will, among other things, display a full-sized Ark based on the Scriptural account to demonstrate the feasibility of the Genesis Flood account and counter the erroneous doubt-creating cultural image of a cutesy bathtub toy Ark with two girraffes sticking out the top. One would suppose that…
Deflating Dobzhansky’s Grand Assumption, Revisited: Is the Assumption Still Necessary?
Recently, a fellow Appalachian objected to my use of a 1937 quote from Theodosius Dobzhansky based on an implied appeal to novelty. An appeal to novelty is the fallacious assumption that just because something is newer, it must be better or more true than something older. He basically asked, given my 1937 quotation, whether I would also…
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…
Does the Bible Teach A Flat Earth?
Bible doubters, even ones who claim to be Christians, often make the accusation that the Bible of teaches a flat Earth. They do this in order to undermine the authority of the Scriptures concerning origins and thereby insert a wedge of doubt by which they can introduce millions of years of microbes-to-man evolution into the Scriptures. In…
