“If unguided evolution really can do its magic, this should not be too difficult. However, if the challenge cannot be met, Darwinists must be asked to explain why.” — Günter Bechly, paleo-entomologist (CSC) As I was scrolling through some notes the other day, I found that I had been holding onto the URL for an […]
Although I am spending more time reading fiction these days, I did manage to read several non-fiction books in 2025, all of which I enjoyed and benefited from to varying degrees. Those described below are sort of a “Top 5” — the ones I consider standouts and would recommend to anyone interested in the relevant […]
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. The subject of that post was… well, pretty much exactly what the title says — “Lucy” being […]
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 […]
One of the “evidences” for a young Earth that some Young Earth Creationists (YEC) like to present these days is the existence of paintings and carvings on stones (and maybe cave walls) that look a lot — or even just somewhat — like dinosaurs. (Or, at least, how dinosaurs are portrayed by modern artists. That’s […]
Hey, all! It occurred to me that, given how many books I read by the scholars at Reasons to Believe — in particular, Dr. Hugh Ross — and how often I quote them in this blog, some people might think RTB is basically my only source on matters of science apologetics. Do I ever recommend […]
