Rumor: Doctor Who getting axed after the fourth season is done?
David Charles has posted the five points of Reformed Baptist churches. No, these aren’t the five points of Calvinism, although they are subpoints under one of the headings there.
I’m hoping to comment on this further, later. But for the moment I am just linking to it now. For the record I will [...]
AiG’s Creation Museum opens its doors.
Prof. Andreas Köstenberger’s daughters, Tahlia and Lauren, give some excellent advice on how to make a magazine and find a publisher.
What in the world is going on here?
You like Hebraic Roots? Here’s the real thing.
There may still be readers here who don’t attend church because they are certain that all churches are apostate.
You may be interested in the next debate over at Centuri0n’s debate blog.
Update: apparently it isn’t going to happen. But Frank is blogging about it nonetheless, good stuff.
For Touchstone, although I doubt he’d put it quite so plainly, the only truth is the truth that there is no absolute truth (or at least there is no access to absolute truth).
However, he’s not consistent in his belief. He himself believes he has good reasons to believe this, sure, but a significant problem arises [...]
For what it’s worth, here’s a more testimonial and evangelistic piece as opposed to our regular apologetics-minded fare. It’s from someone I know in response to someone who claims:
I tried really hard to be Christian. It didn’t work.
Please allow me to offer two responses, a short one and a longer one.
Short response:
I only wanted [...]
Actually I don’t think Kurt Vonnegut was talking about the web, but it sure sounds eerily familiar (it’s either the web, graphic user interfaces, or both). From Breakfast of Champions:
Ideas on Earth were badges of friendship or enmity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed [...]
Apparently Jerry Falwell is dead. Wow.
Bloomberg confirms.
Update: Tom Ascol weighs in with the best words yet.
I wish that all Christian families would take this advice into account: “Your rebellious child’s real problem is not drugs or sex or cigarettes or pornography or laziness or crime or cussing or slovenliness or homosexuality or being in a punk rock band. The real problem is that they don’t see Jesus clearly. The [...]
First off, I note that Touchstone responded to my last comment, but didn’t bother to respond to Peter’s (see here; BTW, these responses are worth reading, too). I surmise the reason is because Peter’s response, as usual, has entirely overwhelmed Touchstone!
Now, if only I could present the truth as clearly and as intelligently as [...]
The following quotations from Touchstone have been culled from a recent post. I follow-up with questions.
Touchstone, addressing an anonymous commenter, said:
and please note that I am answering your questions directly, off topic or no — keep this in mind when you look at how T-Bloggers generally (don’t) respond.
Yes, let’s please keep this mind. [...]
Originally, I intended to post the following comment in the combox of Peter’s latest post. But I thought it’d derail the discussion even more than it’s already been derailed. So I’m publishing it as a new post instead.
Touchstone said:
But I would like to know what you use to determine what is “orthodox” and [...]
These quotations from Henry Gee which Charlie posted on behalf of Steve are worth reading.
BTW, it’s interesting to note how sharply evolutionists disagree with one another over fundamental aspects of evolution. It’s not just Christians that have been pointing out problems with evolution!
Make sure to read the combox, too, especially Steve’s latest [...]

HT: Libbie.
I rarely agree with him, but Richard Roeper’s review of the new Spidey flick is pretty spot on. I mean, the movie ain’t terrible or anything. It’s just not up to par with the first two.
Probably the biggest problem was that there were too many supervillains and storylines. For e.g., perhaps it’s [...]
Pastor Arden Hodgins shares his thoughts on the Virginia Tech massacre (MP3; 3.6MB; 30 mins.).
Looks like an informative post on what’s legal and illegal for U.S. webloggers.
I’m posting it here so I’ll remember to refer back to it in the future.
What think you of Christ? is the test
To try both your state and your scheme;
You cannot be right in the rest,
Unless you think rightly of him.
As Jesus appears in your view,
As [...]
From Paul Copan:
What about naturalistic evolutionary ethics, in which we develop an awareness of right or wrong and moral obligation to help us survive/reproduce? Ethical awareness has only biological worth.5 Such an approach leaves us with the following problems: First, can we even trust our minds if we are nothing more than the products of [...]
