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…..
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,…..
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…..
This is really a follow-up to a blog that I posted on June 08, 2015 – “A Matter of Rights?” I made the point that a man becoming a woman, two dudes marrying each other, or a person becoming a cat is not a matter of rights. It is an impossibility. A person cannot be someone or something that they are not just because they want to be. And an institution such as marriage is not just whatever we want…..
A big news story right now is Bruce Jenner becoming “Caitlyn” Jenner. Sometime back, a man that I knew from work decided to become a “woman.” This became a point of discussion with some of my wife’s family. I am not in favor of efforts to make a man a “woman” or a woman a “man.” The people that I was having the discussion with were asking me what basis that I had for not believing someone had a right…..
On February 18, 2013, Laurence Krauss stated on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation “Okay. Well, I’ve recently, in the United States, just stated that teaching creationism is child abuse and I think it is. Namely, if you withhold knowledge or you do anything to children that puts them at a competitive disadvantage as adults, it’s child abuse. It’s mild forms of child abuse but it’s like withholding medicine. Withholding knowledge that later on will cause kids to become less competitive because…..
Are you aware of what your children are watching? Note that I did not ask “Do you know what your children are watching?” You may know what your children are watching and may miss the messages if you are not tuned in to what is going on. Being aware of materialistic philosophy, I am very cognizant of some of the materialistic messages in children’s shows. Materialistic philosophy is the belief that matter and energy are all that exist –…..
If you pay attention to the news, you know that Governor Scott Walker is being attacked. One of the attacks is that he is not “educated” enough to be president; as he does not believe in evolution (the General Theory of Evolution). So that is how significant this topic is. The topic of evolution has entered the presidential debate. Church leadership for the most part is not doing anything to equip parishioners to defend the Bible when it comes…..
