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 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…..
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…..
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…..
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…..
I just happened to run across this one article on the internet – “Does Honey Really Last Forever?”1 It is on a site called Ziobits under “Fun Facts.” The article explains how the honey dries out bacteria because of its very low water content and high sugar content. Bees make honey to last a long time. The article had some interesting information. But this is what I took note of. The article stated: “Since bees need to eat during…..
Being a sports fan, I have been convinced for a long time that there are a lot of good players out there that never make it in the NFL, NBA or MLB; the reason being there is so much competition that a lot of good players get overlooked. Also, coaches and managers have a paradigm about what they are looking for and may not notice someone who does not fit that paradigm. I see players from Johnny Unitas to Kurt…..
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,…..
