Orphan Sunday |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/orphan-sunday

The Bible repeatedly emphasizes the importance of caring for orphans (see, for example, Deut. 10:18, Deut. 24:19, Ps. 68:5 and James 1:27). In response to this I want to ask two questions: why? Why does the Lord so strongly stress caring for orphans? Also, God want us to understand how very important children are in his scheme of things. To illustrate this point I’d like to quote first a passage of Scripture, then a brief excerpt from a book. First, Matthew 18:1-6:. Next, a quote from. Too Small to Ignore.

Evolutionism |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/evolutionism

First, I want to tackle what I’ve called evolutionism: the belief that the theory of evolution is true, and can account for the existence of all forms of life on the planet Earth. It is apparent there are many who have just as much if not more faith in the truth of evolution as Christians have faith in the literal truth of Genesis chapter one. Jerry Coyne’s book, after all, is titled. Why Evolution Is True. Why Evolution is Probably True. Why Most Evidence Indicates Evolution Is True. In Darwin’s day, th...

Objections to Evolutionism – One |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/objections-to-evolutionism-one

Objections to Evolutionism – One. In my last post, I defined what I’m calling evolutionism. In response to a comment on that post I wrote, When I talk about having faith in evolution, I don’t mean that people are taking it on faith without relying on evidence. Objection Number One: I believe the God of the Bible created the Earth and all living things. I’ll start right off by saying I’m well aware this is not a scientifically acceptable reason for denying the truth of evolution. As subjective as these be...

Objections to Evolutionism – Conclusion |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/objections-to-evolutionism-conclusion

Objections to Evolutionism – Conclusion. The five objections posted here sum up my primary reasons for disbelieving evolution, despite much evidence offered in its favor. With the avalanche of material available, so much back-and-forth, so much you’re-wrong-no-you’re-wrong, so many biases seeming to underlie approaches and conclusions on both sides, this issue is an extremely difficult one to wade through. One Response to “Objections to Evolutionism – Conclusion”. 14 September 2010 at 4:31 pm. My convers...

Objections to Evolutionism – Four |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/objections-to-evolutionism-four

Objections to Evolutionism – Four. Objection Number Four: Evolutionists are as prone as the rest of us to group-think. Findings that don’t line up with evolutionary theory are corrected, contrary evidence is dismissed as flawed, and alternative explanations are not explored because each individual expects his or her little piece of the puzzle to fit into the larger overall picture known as scientific consensus.

Objections to Evolutionism – Three |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/objections-to-evolutionism-three

Objections to Evolutionism – Three. Objection Number Three: Evolutionist zealots have a history of suppressing dissenting opinions. All this makes me wonder how many more scientists may have objections, or at least serious questions, about evolution, but are afraid to speak up for fear they will experience similar results. How many scientists would knowingly sabotage their own careers, their life’s work, their access to resources to continue their work? 13 September 2010 at 11:04 am. And, regarding your ...

Objections to Evolutionism – Five |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/objections-to-evolutionsism-five

Objections to Evolutionism – Five. Objection Number Five: There are too many facts evolution simply cannot explain. I’m not talking about a God of the gaps theory, rightly criticized by evolutionists, in which facts not yet accounted for by science are attributed to divine intervention. In such a view, God’s role in nature gradually diminishes as science makes new discoveries, and creationists must admit that this absolutely cannot be correct. What I am talking about is not those things which have not.

Objections to Evolutionism – Two |

https://amannerofperspective.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/objections-to-evolutionism-two

Objections to Evolutionism – Two. Objection Number Two: Evidence in favor of evolution may be presented as stronger than it actually is. I have a few reasons for believing this may be the case. The evidence I have in mind includes: homologous bone structures among various species; observed adaptations resulting from natural or artificial selection; the taxonomic hierarchical organization of all living things; and the geographical distribution of various species. Second, Jonathan Wells in his book. Third ...
