I found a new blog (for me) this week via John Meunier–To Him Which is Yes. I was particularly attracted by the post John linked to, Bringing back belief. Jack Burden, the blogger, tells the story of how he silenced a committee meeting, doubtless an extremely useful skill under any circumstances, but the point is [...] January 4th, 2009 | Tags: charismatic, liberal, pentecostal, true believer | Category: Author Related, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Energion.com, United Methodist Church | 5 comments

I took the title of this post from one of the speakers in the video embedded below. I’ve followed this IUPUI case for some time, mostly via Dispatches from the Culture Wars, but also through the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). This case is particularly egregious, but political correctness, or the idea that [...] January 3rd, 2009 | Tags: IUPUI, political correctness | Category: Author Related, Civil Liberties, Education Policy, Energion.com, Freedom of Speech | 3 comments

MSNBC.com reports that there is a bit of a kerfuffle over whether Rick Warren will use the name of Jesus in his prayer at Barack Obama’s inauguration. At the same time we have a group of atheist and humanist groups suing to prevent any prayer at all at this public event. I confess to mixed [...] December 31st, 2008 | Tags: Barack-Obama, inauguration, Interfaith Dialogue, Prayer, Rick Warren | Category: Author Related, Christianity, Church and State, Energion.com, Interfaith Dialogue, Prayer | 6 comments

Carl Zimmer has a post on the Loom that discusses irreducible complexity along with some examples. I found it very interesting how we start with a bicycle as irreducibly complex, a claim of an intelligent design (ID) advocate, and then see how the irreducible is reduced through the magic of Google. There are many ways [...] December 31st, 2008 | Tags: evolution, ID, Intelligent Design, irreducible complexity | Category: Author Related, Creation and Evolution, Energion.com, Intelligent Design, Young Earth Creationism | 3 comments

I’m starting a short (I hope) series on interpreting the Bible. This is in response to a series of posts I read recently. The first two were from EvolutionBlog, OEC vs. YEC and The “Terrible Texts” of the Bible. I then encountered A question for Christians on Positive Liberty, which discusses some [...] December 27th, 2008 | Tags: Biblical Criticism, Biblical Inerrancy, old-earth-creationism, Theistic Evolution, Young Earth Creationism | Category: Author Related, Christianity, Creation and Evolution, Energion.com, Theistic Evolution, Young Earth Creationism | 12 comments

I’m working on some web stuff and have the TV on at the same time. I saw on the scroller for MSNBC that rockets and mortars are falling on southern Israel “hampering diplomatic efforts to revive a cease fire.” I guess one could say that things that go BOOM! might “hamper diplomatic efforts.” Somehow [...] December 24th, 2008 | Tags: cease fire, Gaza, Israel | Category: Energion.com, Foreign Policy, Media, Politics | Comments are closed

Glenn Branch and Eugenie Scott have an article in Scientific American titled The Latest Face of Creationism in the Classroom, detailing the latest approach to getting creationism in the classroom. Since I touched on this briefly in two previous posts, I thought I’d link to this longer article so people can get the context. I [...] December 22nd, 2008 | Tags: Academic Freedom, creationism | Category: Author Related, Creation and Evolution, Education Policy, Energion.com, Intelligent Design, Science Education | Comments are closed

Terms like “bipartisan” and even “post-partisan” were employed throughout the campaign and are being used now in criticism of the Obama administration that is taking shape. The problem is that we have gotten used to the notion that bipartisanship involves people from two parties who happen to agree on an issue working together. Thus moderate [...] December 22nd, 2008 | Tags: Barack-Obama, Cabinet Appointments, liberal | Category: 2008 U. S. Presidential Election, Author Related, Energion.com, Politics | Comments are closed

Brandon Haught of Florida Citizens for Science has started a series of posts on the history of the creation-evolution controversy here in Florida. In the new year I intend to spend a bit more time on Florida issues and even on county issues (Escambia County in northwest Florida), so you can watch for (and possibly ignore [...] December 19th, 2008 | Tags: Florida, Florida Citizens for Science | Category: Academic Freedom, Author Related, Creation and Evolution, Education, Education Policy, Energion.com, Science Education | 18 comments

Two blogs I read regularly provided contrasting responses to Barack Obama’s choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. First, Michael L. Westmoreland-White, who speaks from the left, expresses some anger because he sees Warren as someone whose views are opposed to those of many who made Barack Obama’s candidacy possible. As [...] December 18th, 2008 | Tags: Barack-Obama, inauguration, Rick Warren | Category: Author Related, Energion.com, Politics | 5 comments
