Peter R. Stone, author of A Knight from Dein, posted this awesome review of Johnny Came Home on Amazon: After his parents perished in a house fire, Johnny vowed never to return to his hometown, to never again see the boarded up remains of his fire-gutted family home. Yet inexplicably he returns, dragging his best…

Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? Answering the Friendly Atheist’s Not-So-Friendly Objection
Hemant Mehta, a Chicago math teacher who blogs as the so-called Friendly Atheist, took an obligatory potshot at Ken Ham for promoting the “Were you there?” tactic when he speaks to children who are being brainwashed into the tenets of humanism. Atheists, humanists and evolutionists of all stripes simply hate this tactic and no wonder,…
Our First 5-Star Review: ‘Johnny Came Home’ And We Hope He Sets Up House
K G Powderly, Jr., author of The Windows of Heaven series, weighed in with five stars on Johnny Came Home’s first Amazon review. His review expounds on the mythological elements I crafted into the world of John Lazarus: As a boy, I lived at the pharmacy comic book section, where The Avengers and X-Men captured…
A Ready Defense: Living Fossils
One of my favorite BBC television shows is Primeval. Oh, I know the show [like almost all BBC fare] presupposes millions of years of microbes-to-man evolution, but what can I say? I like ‘prehistoric’ beasties. The premise of the show is that little rifts in space-time appear on occasion, allowing dinosaurs and other ‘prehistoric’ creatures…
The New DefGen.org eStore – Promoting Quality Resources You Can Trust
One of the things I’ve always wanted to do was to provide ministry supporters with a way to get your hands on resources we think will benefit you and your children. There are a lot of good books and DVDs out there related to apologetics and the origins issue. If we’re honest, there’s also a…
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.
Pastor Blasts Biblical Inerrancy. I Demonstrate Why This Is A Bad Idea
On June 24, 2010, Associated Baptist Press reported on a sermon delivered on the same day by Dr. Wm. Richard Kremer to Garden Lakes Baptist Church in Rome, GA, entitled, Is the Bible Inerrant? Dr. Kremer’s sermon begins with the following claim, which I find utterly baseless for reasons I shall relate afterwards: “Few words in the…
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…
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…
Is the Resurrection a Legendary or Mythical Element Added to the Real History of Christ?
One of the more common objections to the resurrection of Christ is that we have no contemporary records of His life, so that legendary elements were added to the historical facts over time. This is ridiculous double standard and easily refuted by taking a look at the actual evidence. Sir Frederick Kenyon notes that: “In…
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…
Defending Christ’s Resurrection
Many people flat-out object to the idea that Jesus actually rose from the dead. Of those who admit that He historically existed and that he physically died, they propose various theories for the belief that Jesus rose from the grave. The four basic arguments against the Resurrection are the Grave Robber Lie, the Wrong Tomb…
