Is Belief In Alien Life Harmless? Why Creationists Are Wrong About Aliens And The Bible
A response to Dr. Danny Faulkner’s “Is Belief in Alien Life Harmless?” Moving past fear-mongering and bad logic to a reasonable exploration of the question of extraterrestrial life.
Removing the Stones
On this date in 1997, I gave my life to Christ. This week, I had the opportunity to hear Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis speak at a homeschool convention in South Carolina. I genuinely enjoy listening to Ken speak. I think I’ve heard every presentation he has at least four times over, but I…
Why Animals, Humanity and the Rest of Creation Suffers for Adam’s Sin
In a post called “A theological argument against young earth creationism,” J W Wartick has argued that Biblical (young earth) Creationism is “morally impermissible.” His reasoning? Because animals died because of Adam’s sin, not because of anything they themselves did. If you’re reading that from an orthodox Christian worldview, something about his argument should be…
Causality: Biblical Creationism, Why Kids Quit Church & The Smeller’s The Feller Argument
It’s becoming more and more common for those who to accuse Young Earth Creationists of causing people, particularly younger generations of falling away from the faith. I call it the “Smeller’s the Feller” [STF] argument. Basically, Biblical Creationists have pointed out that something stinks, that our people are leaving the Church just as they abandoned…
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…
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…
Evolutionary Theology: Where Scientific and Biblical Illiteracy Go Hand in Hand
Joel Watts, the misguided theology student who would rather Kentucky open up a porn shop than the Biblically-affirming Ark Encounter, has recently commented on an exchange between Rev. Paul Wallace and Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis. Rev. Wallace made the following statement: “But there are other kinds of illiteracy. There is, for example, scientific illiteracy….
Answers Book 4 Teens (AB4T) – By Bodie Hodge & Tommy Mitchell, with Ken Ham (New Leaf Publishing) 2011
My own drift from traditional Christianity to agnostic began shortly after I transferred from a Bible-affirming Christian school to a public high school. When I questioned evolution and the age of the Earth in my physical science class, the teacher scolded me and told me I only believed in Creationism because that’s what my parents…
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…
Give Me That Mountain! or Why Caleb Is One of My Favorite People In the Entire Bible (via CreationLetter.com)
The following devotional was given to the staff of the Creation Museum on Thursday, March 19, 2009. The text has been reconstructed from my notes. My name is Rev. Tony Breeden and I'm here to tell you a little bit about the ministry of CreationLetter.com, and to give a devotional. The Creation Letter Project or…
Pieces of Light by Julie Cave (Master Books) 2011 (via The Bookwyrm’s Lair)
Pieces of Light is the third book in the Dinah Harris mystery series. I was a bit leery about diving into a fiction series without having read the first two installments. A lot of times an author builds off previous books, which is OK except when their subsequent offerings make little sense on their own….
