An elegant solution to an old problem: The Six Days of Genesis from Sarah Salviander

John Hands Lifts the Skirt of Modern Science, Revealing Cellulite, Varicose Veins, Scars and Blemishes I once complained to an eminent professor at a prestigious university: “Everybody here is miles deep in some incredibly specialized topic. Nobody seems to be about the big picture.” “Exactly,” he said. Cosmo Sapiens is one of those rare books…

If you were studying computers today… Would you start with the 1984 “Apple II Plus Troubleshooting and Repair Manual”? Then… why would you learn evolution by reading Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye? Dawkins’ books on evolution – like those of his pals Bill Nye, Jerry Coyne and others – are every bit as outdated as…

Some people think evolution is a myth. Others insist it happens randomly and accidentally, and takes very long. Watch this bacterium evolve in real time and repair damage in a single weekend:

I grew up in an ultra-conservative, 4 1/2 point Calvinist, expository Bible teaching church. When I was in high school, my church in Lincoln Nebraska brought in a special speaker, the Young Earth Creationist and Bible teacher John C. Whitcomb. He gave a series of talks about science and the Bible. It was FASCINATING. Ten…

Revolutionary scientific paradigms were first opposed with great force. Gregor Mendel’s genetics was ignored for 20+ years. Ignaz Semmelweis was thrown out of the Vienna General Hospital for insisting that hand-washing could stop fatal childbirth infections. His colleagues mocked him for suggesting there might be critters so tiny you can’t even see them, multiplying right…

The now-famous Wistar evolution conference took place exactly 50 years ago at the University of Pennsylvania. An all-star panel of mathematicians, biologists and engineers debated the merits of Neo-Darwinism… based on MATH. The verdict: The engineers and mathematicians said, “No way Jose.” The biologists said, “You guys are ignorant. You don’t understand.” OK, it wasn’t…

Charles Darwin believed behaviors a parent learned during his or her lifetime could be passed to children. Many scientists of the time believed that. It was called “Lamarckism” after Lamarck who first proposed the theory. Later, the Neo-Darwinists laughed Lamarckism right out of the academy. “Silly Lamarck, he didn’t know that DNA mutations are all…

I got this missive from Charlie Richardson… “Some fundamentalist churches equate doctrinal non-conformity with “not walking with Christ.” So for a lot of folks your idea of “evolving your interpretation” of Scripture, based on science, is anathema and the liberal slippery slope to hell. I know this from firsthand experience. Extreme fundamentalism

One of the most appealing aspects of Young Earth Creationism is, it offers a simple, trouble-free view of God. “God made everything perfect. It was just us HUMANS who messed everything up. It’s all OUR fault.” Reader Daniel, a Christian, asked: “I have to say you have a very interesting take on the Bible then….
