In August 2017, I posted on my website an article titled “The Nashville Statement.”1 The Nashville Statement was a statement put out by evangelical church leaders on marriage and sexuality. I started out my article with the sentence: “Here we go again.” I stated that I do agree with everything in the Nashville Statement. But the Nashville Statement does not address the root of the problem – people do not believe the Bible. And church leaders continue putting out these…..
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…..
After the UTSA Religious Forum held last November, regarding molecules to man evolution; Sean, the Secular Student Alliance representative, told me: “the evidence is overwhelming.” This is not the first time I have heard that from a Darwinist. That is a talking point of Darwinists, to include theistic evolutionists. And they really believe it! But one of the “evidences” Sean used during the debate is how bacteria evolve. Bacteria do change. But bacteria are still bacteria. Using this as an…..
Neither Side Gets It! C-Span recently aired a debate hosted by the CATO institute – “Religious Freedom and Anti-Discrimination Law” – regarding Colorado bringing its force to bear on baker Jack Phillips who refused to do a same-sex “wedding” cake. Ilya Shapiro of the CATO Institute elegantly defended freedom of religion and freedom of speech. John Paul Schnapper-Casteras of the NAACP, made numerous references to Piggy Park, a restaurant that discriminated against “blacks.” Schnapper-Casteras was trying to “piggy back” onto…..
I am not into watching fictional shows. But one night my son was watching The Flash and something caught my ear. The character Caitlin stated: “If Dr. Wells is who you say he is, everything I’ve done since the minute I’ve stepped foot in S.T.A.R. labs has been a lie.”1 This is true about human nature. People will not want to admit to themselves that they have invested themselves in something that is a lie. And that is a major…..
In April 2016, I wrote an article stating that Lawrence Krauss sounds just like Squealer the Pig from the TNT Animal Farm movie.1 Lawrence Krauss is a professor at Arizona State University that calls teaching children creationism “child abuse” and “withholding knowledge.”2 Watching William Federer’s Faith in History3, I learned that Lawrence Krauss also sounds like Joe Stalin. Federer had a quote from the book Landmarks in the Life of Stalin – “In order to disabuse the minds of our…..
The Charlie Gard case shows how hypocritical “pro-choice” people are.1 They believe parents should have the right to kill their baby for any reason and under any circumstances. But they do not believe parents have the right to try to save their baby. To understand this, we have to look at another Charlie – Charles Darwin. In his Descent of Man, Charles Darwin stated: “With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly…..
Reading 1 Kings 18 in my daily Bible reading, I thought of theistic evolution. But Terry, what does 1 Kings 18 have to do with evolution? This was 2600 years before Charles Darwin’s Origin of the Species! Elijah called the people to Mount Carmel for a showdown with the prophets of Baal and Asherah. This is one of my favorite Bible accounts. Elijah said to the people: “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the Lord…..
Peter Ward, a University of Washington Biology professor, claims that people being stressed from Donald Trump’s presidency will cause an evolutionary change.1 Ward states: “Were finding more and more that, for instance, people who have gone through combat, or women who have been abused when you have these horrendous episodes in life, it causes permanent change, which is then passed on to your kid.” He then goes on to say “On a larger scale, the amount of stress that Americans…..
I recently read that a Notre Dame group – We Stand For1 – walked out on Mike Pence – stating: “Our members lived in South Bend when Mike Pence was governor. We know all too well how his policies endangered or caused direct harm to public education, health care, women’s rights, the environment, LGBTQ individuals, immigrants and refugees, reproductive rights, local infrastructure, the economy of our state, and more.”2 In other words, the group is pro-abortion, pro-LBGTQ agenda, socialistic, does…..
