  • Sold Their Souls for Negative Five Pounds Sterling

    It was a little disheartening to see that about 90% of the purchasers of one particular game sold their souls for negative five pounds (British) (link to story). Technically, they optioned their souls for that price, since the game company has to exercise its option … but since the exercise of the option includes no…

  • The Proof Evolutionists Have Been Waiting For

    This sea slug is (according to journalists, a huge qualification) part animal and part plant (link). Thus, the slug defies conventional clades. It does not fit into the evolutionary tree. Will any atheists accept this evidence and discard evolution? Probably not. Most will simply try to build a new tree and assume that one can…

  • Nazareth Residence Found

    There’s no reason to think it was Jesus’ residence, but if there were any skeptics out there who thought to themselves, “Nazareth wasn’t inhabited in Jesus’ day,” (and I seem to recall one telling me that on a previous occasion) that excuse for not believing in Christ has been taken away (link). As we learn…

  • Praising Ray Comfort

    The “Seeking Disciple” at Arminian Today has some good thoughts and praise of Ray Comfort (link). May God continue to use Mr. Comfort to bring people out of atheism and to Christ. To God be the Glory!

  • Barker/White Mythology Debate – Parts 1 and 2

    I understand that Alpha and Omega Ministries will be offering a higher-quality DVD at a later date. In the meantime, here is the Barker/White mythology debate (which is the second debate between Dr. White and Dan Barker this year).

  • Barker Mythology Debate

    Last weekend, Dr. White debated Dan Barker on whether the Biblical account is derived from prior mythology (Topic, with Dan Barker Affirmative: “The Jesus Story is Cut from the Same Story as Other Ancient Mythologies”). I understand that eventually Alpha and Omega Ministries will make a DVD of the debate available. In the meantime, here’s…

  • Morality and Piranhas

    This video responds to a video by YouTube user Thunderf00t, entitled “Why do people laugh at Creationists? (part 29)” In my video, I explain a few of the fundamental flaws in the argument that Thunderf00t uses. Thunderf00t argues that piranhas are vicious killing machines, but they do not (generally) attack each other. Thunderf00t asserts that…

  • Ehrman is Not a Debunker of Christianity?

    I was surprised to find this sentence: “Ehrman is not a debunker of Christianity,” in a recent article in the Charlotte Observer (link to article). On what basis does the author of the article make that claim? On the basis that Ehrman acknowledges that Jesus was an historical figure. Apparently, to be a “debunker of…

  • I’ll Debate Richard Dawkins for $100,000

    If he’ll pay me $100,000, I’ll engage him in a debate. The money won’t come to me, it will go to two or three charitable organizations. I’m not in it for money, I just want to get Dawkins to part with $100,000 of his money so that the money will not be available for mocking…

  • Atheism to be Taught to Victorian Youth

    I was rather disturbed to read this article (link), provided to me by a very dear reader. The article suggests that primary schools in Victoria (the second most populous state of Australia) are expected to begin indoctrinating children with the idea that there is no evidence of God. Apparently, the universe (which he made) and…
