Do you ever get angry when you are proved right? I do. Our pastor at my church has started a Sunday evening series called Why I Believe. It addresses the questions: Can I trust the Bible? How do I know that Christianity is true? In our last class on January 17, 2016, we discussed a number of evidences as to why we can believe the Bible from a scientific perspective, including evidence for Noah’s flood. We really had a good…..
Taking Tuesday off, I saw this show on the Science Channel called Strip the Cosmos. Suspecting what it would be, I watched some of it and sure enough I was right. The episode that I watched was called “Alien Worlds.” It was filled with philosophical materialism (the belief that matter and energy are all that exist) guised as science. They were explaining how life could exist elsewhere. The whole point of this is to show that life is something that…..
Recent terrorist attacks on Paris and San Bernardino have reawakened fears of Islamic terrorism. After September 11, 2001, when the terrorists brought down four planes, the World Trade Center and also hit the Pentagon, the song “God Bless America” became very popular again. And I, as much as anyone, want God to bless America. My son is only eight years old and for his sake I want God to bless America. But you have to ask yourself: Why Should He?…..
I was listening to talk radio on my way to work earlier this week when I heard someone talking about people shopping on Thanksgiving. He said that people would shop on Thanksgiving but not on Christmas or Easter because “Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday.” Really? The Psalms over and over implore us to give thanks to the Lord. Psalm 100 is a particular brief Psalm giving thanks and praise to God as our Creator. Psalm 100:3-4 states “Know ye…..
I recorded an observation that I made watching a Eugenie Scott lecture. This exposes the Darwinists as not being the people of science that they claim to be. They are people with presuppositions just like everyone else and an agenda. They are totally biased. I am biased as well. But at least I am objective enough to admit that I am biased. Eugenie C. Scott, former head of the National Center for Science Education, shows herself to be a total hypocrite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuPBxFH9Gsg…..
I do not know how many times I have heard “The Bible is not a science book!” Well, I must say for a book that is not a science book, the Bible has some pretty good science. As a Bible believer, there is one thing that I would agree with any scientist on, whether they are a scientist like John C. Sanford that believes in Biblical creation, or they are an ardent atheist like Richard Dawkins. Life on this planet…..
On the October 8, 2015 Michael Medved Show, at the end of the broadcast, two callers were very critical of Benjamin Carson. One caller stated “Ben Carson is a lunatic, a sociopathic lunatic.” Another caller disagreed that Carson is sociopathic, but stated “Benjamin Carson is deluded” because Carson does not believe in evolution (meaning the General Theory of Evolution). He went on about how Carson believed Darwin was “evil” and believed there is a “conspiracy” to teach evolution.1 Medved defended Carson,…..
Recently, I was watching the documentary The 12 Biggest Lies. On “Lie #5 A Fetus isn’t human,” they showed a “pro-choice” lady holding up a sign that said “A MESSAGE TO OUR LEADERS: ROW vs. WADE OR YOU WON’T GET LAID.” I am not sure if this lady really, really thought about the statement that she was making. But she was actually affirming a point that I have made for a long time. It has been my contention that a…..
Genesis 5:1-2 states “This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.”1 This is a short text. But what a person believes about this text will affect their world view entirely. First and foremost, the text tells us that we are not evolved from some apelike…..
On August 28, 2015, a Harris County Deputy Sheriff was shot multiple times in the back. The “Black Lives Matter” campaign is being blamed for much of the recent violence against police.1 From what I have been able to ascertain, the accused murderer, Shannon J. Miles, a 30-year old man, lived at home with his mother.2 Evidently his father was not a part of the picture. Once again, I can see how our problems as a society would mostly go…..
