Darwin's Sandcastle: Evolution's Failure in the Light of Scripture and the Scientific Evidence Why are brilliant and logical scientists not reasonable on the question of the ultimate cause of the unity, diversity, and complexity of life on Earth? We wrongly think that an accurate view of life’s origins can be deduced by science and logic alone apart from faith and humble submission to God.....

"One of the best ways for a Christian child to honor his father and mother is to surpass them. If a child outgrows his parents in love for Christ, in knowledge of the Bible, and in a true grasp of what the gospel is all about, no one who truly loves God can begrudge it. And there is a paradox involved in it. One of the best ways to surpass your parents is to make sure you look up to them. The first will be last, and the last first."

From Theopolis: "Originally Halloween was a Christian custom, and there is no solid reason why Christians cannot enjoy it as such even today. “He who sits in the heavens laughs; Yahweh ridicules them” says Psalm 2. Let us join in His holy laughter, and mock the enemies of Christ on October 31."

Concerning Halloween It has become routine in October for some Christian schools to send out letters warning parents about the evils of Halloween, and it has become equally routine for me to be asked questions about this matter. "Halloween" is simply a contraction for All Hallows’ Eve. The word "hallow" means "saint,

Britney Spears Reveals She was Pressured to Have an Abortion

In her new tell-all memoir The Woman in Me, Britney Spears reveals that she was pressured to have an abortion by Justin Timberlake when they were a celebrity couple. “Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives.” She concluded, “If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.”

Her experience is shared by millions. As an article in Christian Newswire put it, “[N]early 70% of the women who had abortions described them as being coerced, pressured, or inconsistent with their own values and preferences.”

Many feel like Spears, who wrote, “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”

Abortion is a lie. Far from securing the rights and autonomy of women, abortion pressures women to cater to male desire and irresponsibility.

Its that time of year again - - and Christians need to consider how to engage with it. Here is a good, brief interaction for your consideration from Breakpoint. But whatever you do, let it be for the glory of God and the blessing of your neighbors.

"'The most fascinating result is that natural selection was extremely variable through time,' [James] Stroud [School of Biological Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology] said. 'We often saw that selection would completely flip in direction from one year to the next. When combined into a long-term pattern, however, all this variation effectively canceled itself out: Species remained remarkably similar across the entire time period'"

Long-term lizard study challenges the rules of evolutionary biology Charles Darwin said that evolution was constantly happening, causing animals to adapt for survival. But many of his contemporaries disagreed. If evolution is always causing things to change, they asked, then how is it that two fossils from the same species, found in the same location, can look ident...

"Two more aspects of evil, taught within a Christian worldview, are evident here as well. First, not all evils are equal. As someone rightly claimed, saying that “both sides are wrong” is like saying “Mordor is evil, but Frodo has his flaws.” Second, evil should not be tolerated. Harboring Hamas will likely be the most destructive decision made by the Palestinian authorities. The butchers of Hamas aren’t misunderstood, nor did they misunderstand what they were doing. Our contemporary worldviews are wholly inadequate when it comes to recognizing, understanding, and responding to evil. Christians should work and pray for God to bring a right understanding back to the world, even as we pray for Him to bring a just peace to the people of Israel."

Gagnon: "Andy Stanley’s claimed adherence to the biblical view of marriage as the union of male and female is an adherence in name only, and that for the sake of optics in the Evangelical world. Stanley's "new pastoral approach" that sidesteps theology altogether provides functional support for, and embrace of, homos*xual practice and transgenderism. It is not only anti-scriptural. It is also anti-Jesus, a rebellion against Christ's Lordship over his church, pulling the rug out from Jesus' creation-based s*xual ethics."

"Today, the therapeutic anthropology of s*xual identity and authenticity dominates the culture. It is worrying indeed that influential voices within the church are helping to create the rhetorical and pastoral approach that will serve only to further marginalize those who seek to minister faithfully to this generation. For all her faults, the church is ultimately the solution. Conforming her to the world can only be part of the problem."

When Being Affirming Isn't Loving | Carl R. Trueman The pope and Andy Stanley have developed a pastoral strategy in isolation from (and, arguably, in opposition to) traditional Christian teaching.

"Any time something sacred is mocked and the image of God in all involved is denied, there will be victims. Now, a generation of young people are voicing sorrow and regret because of what we defended as “freedom” and “harmless fun.” This was true when Hefner mainstreamed p**n in the 1950s. It is even more true today. The internet and smartphones have merely cultivated this hideousness for what it is. We must keep unsupervised devices out of unsupervised young hands. Do it."

"The anthropological societies released a statement saying, 'There is no place for transphobia in anthropology. The session was rejected because it [was] framed in ways that do harm to vulnerable members of our community. It commits one of the cardinal sins of scholarship — it assumes the truth of the proposition that it sets out to prove, namely, that s*x and gender are simplistically binary, and that this is a fact with meaningful implications for the discipline.'"

"This is of course something people have already told me: “Are you really sure you want to be saying these things?” And my answer is yes, absolutely. There is a difference between “science” and what we can call “scientism,” which is the notion that science can solve all problems. To a large extent, it is not science but rather how humanity has used science that has put us in our present difficulties. Because most people, in general, have no awareness of what science can and cannot do. So they misuse it, and they do not think about science in a more pluralistic way."

Excellent advice for Christian parents!

The history recorded in Genesis offers the best testimony for the reasonable cause of the existing mountains we see and love all around the world today. The events of the catastrophic flood in Noah's day and the reshaping of the world that occurred during and immediately following the great deluge is the best theory to explain the mighty mountains and deep valleys. Don't trust the secular, unbelieving world that is blind to God's judgments. Give glory to God and be thankful for the history he has passed down to us in Genesis!

Here is a good effort at providing a timeline of Earth's history from a commitment to Genesis as historical narrative and the flood being a global catastrophe. It is always worth taking time to consider these scientific models that have been built using a Christian worldview. Let it encourage your heart to see the work that is being done by our fellow Christians in the various fields of science.

For those interested in the last 50 to 70 years of s*xual history and its consequences on men and women in the West, check out this interview of George Gilder and his scholarship over the decades. Very informative and life giving to hear how feminism, p**nography, and government programs all have contributed to our downfall as a society. The way forward is championed in this interview and really substantial education can happen for those who watch with their teenagers and older children, who might themselves be suffering from these bankrupt worldviews of materialistic and s*xual fantasies.
