Another Good Review of Expelled!

We Can’t Have Acquittals
. . . is what the former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay, Air Force Colonel Colonel Morris Davis informed a court there he was told by superiors, according to the Washington Post. I do believe that we will need some special options for dealing with terror suspects taken in war. Many are not recognizing the…

Perspective on Vocabulary and Genre in Genesis 1-11
Just how does one go about determining how to read these chapters? I’ve talked in previous posts about literary types and historicity, but this is more about approach.

Origin Models: An Abundance of Christian Views
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is an interesting philosophy in politics and war. Usually the amity between “enemies of enemies” lasts about as long as hostilities between those particular enemies. Wesley Elsberry has posted an excellent article on problems with the “two model” approach to the creation-evolution debate. To summarize, though you…
