According to an article “Why dinosaur bones were the real nail in religion’s coffin,” people like me who actually believe the Bible are “superstitious” and believe in “myths.”1 This is an article that popped up on my internet search engine page. After accusing Bible believers of being superstitious, the article talks about “humankind’s move from superstition to science,” and goes on to do a lot of elephant hurling, mentioning Copernicus, the printing press, the enlightenment and scientific revolution, Isaac Newton,…..
In my article “Is COVID-19 Bad?” I made the point that coronavirus is really a bad thing and a result of the curse.1 And I made the point that the response has exposed an inconsistency in Darwinists’ thinking. But in my response to a comment, I also indicated that I question how this has been handled and how it should be handled. That is what science is about, having an open and honest debate. Recently, I a saw a…..
The death of George Floyd and its aftermath has prompted a lot of discussion of the need for change. Proposals that I have heard include increased training of law enforcement, allowing for law enforcement agents to be personally sued, and one that I like if it is workable – increased body cams. I have also heard of proposals that do not make any sense at all to me, such as defunding the police. What do people want? Total anarchy? That…..
It was just recently in the news that the number of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) was up for the fifth straight year, with “1.7 million chlamydia cases reported.”1 The solution we have generally heard is so-called “safe sex.”2 It is now getting recognized that what has been called “safe sex” is still risky. So it is now being called “safer sex.” I call it “slightly less risky sex.” While a pregnancy can occur 3-5 days a month, a sexually…..
Watching a YouTube video of world renowned atheists Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins, I could not help but to wonder if they were listening to what they were saying.1 Some of the things that they said certainly convinces me of the God of the Bible. At 21 minutes and 30 seconds into the video, Dawkins states: “I think it’s something we need to be proud of our species for; because our species, every species, is designed by natural selection to…..
In my e-mailings, I receive Que Pasa, a newsletter from the San Antonio Baptist Association. In their June 11 e-mailing, they had a segment on an article “The 2019 Most Post-Christian Cities in America.”1 Instead of just asking people how they identified themselves, Barna researchers looked at certain criteria; basically how people actually live their lives. I think it is notable that Springfield-Holyoke, MA was rated number 1, given that Massachusetts was founded “for the glory of God, and advancement…..
Over the years, I have had a number of failures in my discussions with people who do not believe the Bible. And of course those discussions are about the creation account in Genesis – something that church leaders who want to just talk about Jesus in the New Testament miss. I say “Jesus in the New Testament” because John 1, Colossians 1 and Hebrews 1 teach us that the creation account in Genesis is about Jesus. “Christ is the visible…..
At our last San Antonio Bible Based Science Association meeting, while watching President Scott Lane discuss the bombardier beetle, my mind flashed back to the documentary “Moon Machines 1 – Saturn V Rocket.”1 The Saturn V rocket was perhaps the most awesome machine ever built by man. The Soviets had the N-1 Rocket.2 But it did not prove to be the reliable rocket that the Saturn V was. The Saturn V was a three stage rocket. Stages of the rocket…..
I have been making the case for more than ten years now that churches need to be more proactive in teaching people that they can believe the Bible. I know this from my own experience. I know this from my observations of and engagements with other people. Here is a first hand testimony of a new member of the San Antonio Bible Based Science Association regarding this issue – Roman Villarreal: Indoctrinating a generation “The millennial exodus and fall of…..
In my daily Bible reading, something from Psalm 81 immediately struck me – “But no, my people wouldn’t listen. Israel did not want me around. So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas.”1 I immediately recognized this as humanism. People reject God, and live according to their own ideas. They call it “reason.” Humanists of course put a positive spin on this. The definition given on the American Humanist Association website is: “Humanism is a…..
