Creation Seminars Part 2

Last Sunday I spoke at Bangjak Baptist for two hours about issues related to Creation and evolution.  It was a very beneficial time.  The pastor of the church translated everything that I said in Thai.  The pastor’s wife translated everything into sign language.  One of the church members was also translating my English into Farsi [...]

Logic and Christianity

I am reproducing an exchange between an AiG (Answers in Genesis) scientist and an individual writing for feedback. I have tried to make similar points here on my blog, but this exchange provides a great overview of this relationship; between logic and Christianity, and specifically why logic is dependent upon Christian doctrine.
I am reproducing this exchange [...]

Evolution; The Plastic Theory

The Story of Evolution from crev.info

Putting My Affairs in Order

No, I am not dying, but I am putting my affairs in order.   God has made it clear to me that our time on this earth is limited.  I am no prophetic voice claiming we are on the doorstep of the return of Christ (though I do feel it is approaching fast).  Any day, as [...]
