Attending the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) (Now Missouri University of Science and Technology), I did have some conversations with fellow students regarding Darwinian evolution and the Bible, that I was totally unprepared for. But I never had to deal with Darwinism being taught in my classes or my professors espousing Darwinism. An engineering curriculum includes classes like calculus, differential equations, statistics, engineering economics, physics, statics, dynamics, kinematics, thermodynamics, thermofluid mechanics, mechanics of materials, electrical circuits, operations research, dynamics of machinery,…..
On Tuesday, October 22, on my drive home, I heard Joe Pags discussing how in court a mother won a verdict against the boy’s father to have her seven year old son transition to a “girl.”1 This would involve the boy taking hormone blockers to prevent puberty.2. The mother says that James “identifies” as a girl and chooses to wear girls clothing. The father says that James wants to wear boys clothing around him. There are a number of points…..
A recent Texas Public Radio’s The Source1 interview with Elizabeth Waltman, Chief Operating Officer of the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center and Dr. C. J. Winckler, deputy medical director of the San Antonio Fire Department, was filled with biblical truth; even though that was not necessarily their intention. I do not know what their spiritual beliefs are or what they think of the Bible. The Bible tells us: “And if any native Israelite or foreigner living among you eats…..
Several events in the news lately may be seemingly unrelated to a lot of people. One of the news items is tennis great Martina Navratilova being dropped from the LGBT group Athlete Ally.1 She spoke out against men calling themselves women and then competing against women. Navratilova gets that. She understands she would not have wanted to compete against men calling themselves women. What she may not understand is that she helped lay the groundwork for this absurdity by coming…..
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…..
What Harvey Weinstein did can be explained very simply – he followed his own desires.1 This is what is repeatedly talked about in the Bible. Jeremiah 11:7 states: “For I solemnly warned your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, ‘Obey me!’ I have repeated this warning over and over to this day, but your ancestors did not listen or even pay attention. Instead, they stubbornly followed their own evil desires.”2 We all have a sin nature. Jeremiah…..
Here we go again. Evangelical church leaders just put out a statement on the biblical view of marriage and sexuality called the Nashville Statement.1 Interestingly enough; I agree 100% with everything in the statement. But church leadership is still not getting it! You cannot expect people (even professing Christians) to have biblical values if they do not believe the Bible. And if they do not believe the Bible starting with Genesis, they do not believe the Bible. I teach people…..
I think most of us are familiar with the “There’s good news and bad news.” That is what I was thinking when I was looking at the stories on Bing on Thursday. I will start out with the bad news. The bad news is Vermont’s woman’s basketball team cancelled a scheduled game against the University of North Carolina.1 They canceled it is because North Carolina has enough sense to know that men should use men’s restrooms and locker rooms and…..
On Friday, May 13, the Obama administration gave notice to U.S. public schools that transgender students must be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice.1 The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) responded. Ronnie Floyd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, stated this as “an outrageous attack on our Creator Himself, human sexuality and morality, and an advancement of the attack against religious freedom.”2 As a matter of fact, a number of Southern Baptist leaders have made statements on this issue…..
