Although I already put out a Christmas post a couple weeks ago, I came up with something else my readers might find interesting, and I didn’t feel like waiting until next year to share it. Earlier this year, I posted “4 Easter-Related Archaeological Finds”, for which I borrowed material from Dr. Titus Kennedy’s book Unearthing […]
“I don’t hear a ‘demonic growl.’ I hear the Lion of Judah ROARING in this song!! 🔥 Come quickly Lord!!” — fan comment on YouTube As you may or may not be aware, the popular Christian rock band Skillet recently released a music video with their cover of the traditional Advent hymn “O Come, O […]
A few weeks ago, I posted “Lucy and the State of Hominid Evolution”, in which I quoted Dr. Fuz Rana of Reasons to Believe (RTB) in the book Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?, ed. by Keathley, Stump, and Aguirre. The subject of that post was… well, pretty much exactly what the title says — “Lucy” being […]
“This video offers an important lesson. It’s spoken with confidence. It sounds compelling. But, it’s completely false.” — Mr. B, “Red Pen Logic” It has been a few weeks since my last such post, so I thought it time to encourage some more careful thought by offering up a couple more episodes of “Red Pen […]
“Reason must be used to rightly interpret the Bible. We discern the meaning of the Bible not through mystical experience but through extensive thought and contemplation.” — Terry L. Johnson, Presbyterian pastor and author This week, we continue our look at the idea of the sufficiency of Scripture in Christian theology and the role of […]
Originally, I prepped this post in advance (and began its sequel), because I was going to be on vacation for over a week and wanted material to pre-schedule. Then, a health concern came up, and travel plans were canceled. But, no reason why we can’t still delve into this topic… Beginning with this post, I […]
Several weeks ago, I shared a couple episodes of “Red Pen Logic” (RPL) by Christian apologist Tim Barnett, aka “Mr. B”. I found a couple others — this time responding to more general challenges from atheist critics/skeptics — and decided to share them, as well. In the first video below, Mr. B takes on that […]
“Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality.” — Carl Sagan A number of years ago, the late Chuck Colson wrote a piece discussing worldview ideas in film, especially those of a New Age flavor. After talking about Avatar, he brought up the movie Contact, and that’s where I […]
Last week I cited from Chapter 1 of the book Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?: Discussing Origins with Reasons to Believe and BioLogos (2017), quoting representatives of RTB as they clarified their organization’s approach on a few things. In that same redirect, Robert Stewart (one of the Southern Baptist theologians acting as moderators) also commented and […]
As I recall, this is not the first time I have posted on the topic of concordism in Christian apologetics, particularly as used by the Reasons to Believe (RTB) organization. This time, the source is Chapter 1 of the book Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?: Discussing Origins with Reasons to Believe and BioLogos (2017), which addresses […]
