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 […]

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.

Obama and the Democrats made many promises about the legislation, and Fred Lucas — chief news correspondent and […]
“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.
