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…

The Greatest Story Ever Told Versus The Greatest Story Ever Sold
Another Superbowl Sunday has come and gone, but a far more significant battle is going on next Sunday – a battle for our very pulpits! Creation Weekend 2017 is quickly approaching. For those who aren’t aware, every year atheist Dr Michael Zimmerman, the fellow behind the pro-evolution Clergy Letter Project, encourages churches to celebrate an…
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…
Evolution versus Christianity: Why You Really Do Have to Choose
I once said God could have used evolution and that we had to allow for long ages in the days of the Creation Week. The following excerpt from my book, Defending Genesis: How We Got Here & Why It Maters, explains my dilemma at that point and why we really do have to choose between the authority of God’s Word and the claims of men who’ve interpreted the evidence by science chained to pure naturalism, despite claims to the contrary by Michael Zimmerman and BioLogos.
On the Compatibility of Christian Faith & Evolution: Which Atheist is Lying To Us?
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…
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…
Answering a Disrespectful Critic: Creation Sunday, the American Christian Taliban & the R-Word
In case you missed it, on the eve of last year’s Creation Sunday, our efforts were erroneously dubbed a part of the “American Christian Taliban” for the very suggestion that churches voluntarily dedicate the Sunday nearest Darwin’s birthday to the doctrine of Biblical Creation. Of course, the foul-mouthed critic was unconcerned that some compromising ministers…
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…
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
A few months ago, I found myself in the crosshairs of Rob Boston and Americans United for pointing out the hot air and misinformation in “rev” Barry Lynn’s “Ark Park” video on youTube. Barry Lynn, is of course the Executive Director of the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. On the surface,…
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,…
