The way that scientists tell it, there’s only one way that you can be sure of the truth—if a scientist says so. I frequent different forums over the Internet, and on Reddit it’s easy to get into a debate about Creation and Evolution that easily devolves into “I’m right because I’m a scientist”, even though [...]
In the article When Republicans win, Children Lose at Nuts and Dolts, the author gets it wrong on two key issues.
The Infinite Monkey Theorem goes something like this: …a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. This logic is part of what makes up the logical belief in Evolution: the idea being, [...]
A group of six dozen paleontologists recently paid a trip to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky to see what they presented.
What was your reaction when, earlier this week, we found that our paleontologists had done it again? Done what? Well how many times can you “find the missing link that proves evolution and our link to primates?” I mean, wasn’t that what Lucy was?
Hat Tip: Everyday in Grace
This is supposed to shock you. Get ready. Brace yourselves. Gov. Sarah Palin believes that humans and dinosaurs coexisted on an earth that’s only about 6,000 years old. Shocking, I know, since thousands of people have visited the Creation Museum. Check out this page on Wikipedia talking about polls on the topic of Creation and [...]
One of the things that I’ve seen in many of the debates that I’ve recently entered about the origins of the world and the existence of God is really unfruitful and fails to recognize the complexity of the discussion. It is rooted in the strong belief of the veracity of their side of the argument. [...]
Have you heard about this movie yet? I started seeing ads for this movie show up at my site, but I had no idea what it was about. It turns out that Ben Stein has created a movie that documents how professors that choose not to believe in Evolution are systematically denied access to teaching [...]
Ken Ham? The Saturday Guardian contained an article with the sub-heading, “Dawkins’s worst nightmare takes his literalist Biblical message on a tour of the UK.” The reporter came by train from London to attend my speaking events in Leicester (in central England). I’ve personally met Ken Ham, and he’s not close to anyone’s “worst nightmare”. [...]
One of the interesting this to me in the whole Creation/Evolution argument is the belief that somehow science is the answer to everything and is the expert on everything. Science, it seems, can tell you both if there’s a God and what happened throughout time, and it should never be questioned. The strange thing is [...]
Try to explain a lunar eclipse to two boys that aren’t even in school. It was a fun adventure as I tried to explain to them about the Sun, the rotation around the Earth and why the moon was going to disappear for a little while. But that wasn’t the most interesting part of the [...]
Have you ever stopped to think about how differently we look at things in the age of science than they did in Bible times? I often muse on the whole concept of relying on God totally, and, in doing so, think about all that we think we understand today and what it has done to [...]
If you had to guess what the number one reason for Christians that attend secular universities to leave their faith what would you guess? I’m sure that some might guess that it would be liberal teaching. Others would guess that they get into the wrong crowds. And I suppose some could argue that these college [...]
