New Evidence Against the Hypothesis of Evolution
The “first” animal (using current “scientific” methodologies) is much more complex than previously thought. (link) Of course, if one simply sticks one’s fingers in one’s ears, one can go on believing that life came from non-life, that animals came from non-animals, and that men were born of non-men. No, all things were created from nothing,…

Nadir Ahmed v. Dr. James White
Here’s a debate that Dr. White conducted with a Muslim opponent. I’m providing all eleven segments embedded below. I thought that the debate went very well for Dr. White, but that’s mostly because his opponent clearly did not have a clue how to debate. Dr. White’s opponent committed many rookie mistakes. For example, he failed…

Indulgences for Reading Scripture
One Catholic blogger, who found a cute way to avoid mentioning Dr. White’s name without being offensive, has a post in which he points out that Indulgences can be gained in Roman Catholicism by reading Scriptures. (link) He believes this to be a counter-argument to Dr. White’s point that it is useless for Catholics (given…

Armstrong vs. Aquinas – Classifying Reformed Christians
As recently noted by the “Shrine for the Holy Whapping,” a Catholic blog, Aquinas quoted with approval, the following (link to source): “We believe that the bodies of the saints, above all the relics of the blessed martyrs, as being the members of Christ, should be venerated in all sincerity” and “If anyone holds a…

Worshipping the Creature
Recently, a baby was born in India. The baby has two faces, both of which are “functional,” i.e. the baby can apparently drink from both mouths and blinks all four eyes simultaneously.

Snow-Covered Dung-Heap – Luther / Langland / Chrysostom?
It’s often claimed (mostly by Roman Catholics) that Luther compared justification to a snow-covered dung-heap. None have to date (and this author’s knowledge) been able to document precisely who originated the phrase, or where it occurs in Luther’s voluminous writings, although at least one guy has given it a shot. Considering that we recently demonstrated…

2 Thessalonians 2:15 – Responding to "Orthodox"'s Counter-Objections
One reader of the blog, “Orthodox,” has provided some counter-objections to the rebuttals I’ve presented so far on the abuse of 2 Thessalonians 2:15. I think “Orthodox” is a bit confused, as some of his objections have already been answered in earlier posts. For example, “Orthodox” seems to think that he can use a verse…
