Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear (D) has proposed a 2012-2013 budget that includes heavy cuts to some key departments while giving a $43 million tax break to a massive creationist theme park. In his plan, Beshear calls for a 6.4 percent cut to Kentucky&...

I love the way that Young Earth Creationists add things to Scripture. Granted, this is an ‘old post’ (from December, totally last year) but I noticed it because Ham mentioned it on Facebook recently. Anyway… first, read Dr. McGrath...

Jason has taken issue with mine and Dr. McGrath‘s posts on the discovery of ongoing evolution as pictured by the skink. While Jason should feel free to comment on these things, I would really like to see his biology degree or his credentials...

Richard Dawkins’s theological/philosophical dilettantism aside, I would gladly hoist a pint in celebration with him over this news: Leading scientists and naturalists, including Professor Richard Dawkinsand Sir David Attenborough , are claiming...

A biologist with scientific interest in the evolution-creation debate attributed a recent LifeWay Research poll reporting that three-fourths of Protestant pastors reject evolution, and nearly half believe the earth is about 6,000 years old, to a comm...

I’ve never really been a supporter of this – and I’m not a pastor to make these decision – but maybe there is a way that Church could participate in a Graceful way. Evolution Weekend is an opportunity for serious discussion an...

America’s Protestant pastors overwhelmingly reject the theory of evolution and are evenly split on whether the earth is 6,000 years old, according to a survey released Monday by the Southern Baptist Convention. When asked if “God used evolution t...

What? No? Then why does he quote 1937 science? I mean, honestly, does our good friend have nothing better to do expect fight Ham’s battles for him? At that point, one can easily detect Tony’s presuppositions about science, that it never...

Dr. and perhaps Reverend (since he has a Phd in experimental nuclear physics from Duke and a MDiv from Emory) Paul Wallace, in part, writes, But there are other kinds of illiteracy. There is, for example, scientific illiteracy. It too is a problem...

Okay, so this is a bit old (not even a month at this, really), but I wanted to show you something.  Watch… First, this: Sediments drilled from beneath the Dead Sea reveal that this most remarkable of water bodies all but disappeared 120,000 ye...

Could stars still be forming? After all, we see supernovae occur in space, so why not star formation too? Although the Bible does not say God is not making more stars, it does say He finished the work of Creation on the sixth day. Genesis 2:1 s...

Here is the latest evidence that one should not ‘take literally’ Scripture… Could stars still be forming? After all, we see supernovae occur in space, so why not star formation too? Although the Bible does not say God is not makin...

The spectacular explosion of a star in a distant galaxy (left, above) has given astronomers a rare glimpse of how supernovae blast the basic ingredients for life into the cosmos. Scientists captured images of the colossal detonation in the Pinwheel g...

I have to agree with biblical scholar Peter Enns, for instance, that Young Earth Creationism, especially when it argues that a Christian cannot accept evolution, is both “wrong and harmful.”  The truth is: our minds and our hearts and souls all...

Jason, surprise, takes issue with my post of calling the sacred cow, er, bacon, a possible 7th Day Adventist because the modern bout with Young… wait, just go here. This is my comment to him: Straw man. Here, let me explain. You don’t act...

We are currently discussing this book, and the various topics with it, in Sunday School Class, so I am reading this for the second time. It struck me odd the first time that I read it and now, for the second time… Like KJV-Onlyism, the Young Ea...

As I first thumbed through the program of 350 papers being delivered, I witnessed a “who’s who” of popular Christian authors and academics. The exhibitors’ hall was filled with publishers selling the materials of these authors and a host of o...

So is, sorta, the conversation Jason and I are having. He contends that this is what the Hams mean… (Steve) Ham was lamenting the ETS way of life – what would he think of SBL?. Anyway, some of the discussion involves the notion that Scrip...

So… let’s consider this…. 12 billion light years… so, um, that’s like 6000 years to get to? Scientists have found two interstellar clouds of original gas, which — unlike everything else in the universe — has...

Young-earth creationists, by their very willingness to deceive in the name of their worldview (which they falsely attribute to divine origin), undermine any confidence that anyone might have had in ancient religious texts. After all, can we confirm f...
