Why I Hate the KJV
OK, I just can’t resist taking a poke at the KJV-Only movement every so often. This time I did it on video. Stand by for more!

Why I Hate the KJV
Well, confession is good for the soul. It’s time I own up to all that deep seated, seething hatred for the KJV. And thus, my first effort on YouTube, crossed with video blogging: See! That was easy!

A Coherent Foreign (and Domestic) Policy
I have thought since 2004 that if John Kerry had managed to appear to have an actual policy on terrorism, a strategy for how to make a safer United States and world, he would now be president. As it was, he was perceived to be proposing pretty much what Bush was doing only less of…

Expelled: No Mainstream Scientists Allowed
Well, I got past my hardware problems, and then started to read my e-mail and some of my RSS feeds. First, I came across an e-mail from Christianity Today’s ChristianBibleStudies.com, from which I often get useful material. Today, they’re wanting me to pay $5.95 for a discussion of the movie that I can use in…

Bad Hardware Day

For example, the question in biofuels seems be whether they can solve dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuel emissions on their own….

Freedom to Insult
. . . is a necessary part of free speech. Laura has it right: I dont have much in common with Brigitte Bardot, an elderly French actress, or Pat Condell, a British atheist, or with Kathy Shaidle, Ezra Levant, and Mark Steyn, a partial list of Canadians whose free speech is endangered. Except this: a…

Jon Stewart on the Obama Gaffe
While personally I think Obama got caught uttering a truth, or at least something he actually believes, I personally record it as a negative, because as president he needs to control his tongue. It doesn’t change the fact that I will vote for him. It’s just that in a very disciplined campaign, it’s disappointing. If…

Literary Types in Genesis 1-11
Pardon me for using “types” where “genre” would be more precise, but I frequently do so in teaching in order to avoid having to explain details. Further, “genre” doesn’t maintain the same meaning across all critical disciplines. In my previous post on the historicity of Genesis 1-11, I wrote as though one could establish a…
