Science and Religious Thought

"Hey Ray, they've finally discovered the main difference between scientific and religious thought: Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings."

Let me finish what you are saying: Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings, Christianity flies you to Heaven, and Evolution flies in the face of true science.

Throughout history, tyrants have carried out their political agendas in the name of "religion." Those who lack any sense of perception say that the...

The Prince of Preachers

Someone quoted the Prince of Preachers this morning. For those who are not familiar with him, Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) had an intellect that was equal to that of William Shakespeare. Both men had a vocabulary of 23,000 words (the average person has about 13,000 words). You may have to read what he says a couple of times. I don't say that in a condescending way, but because of the language of the era in which they were penned:

"The atheist is, morally, as well as mentally, a fool, a fool in...

The Response of a Jerk

"Ray -- You responded Dimensio: 'Dimensio...be careful that you don't somehow give the impression that I agree with your beliefs (evolution's) about male/female origins. It think they are childishly foolish. I didn't understand how silly they were.' That's the sort of response a jerk would give to someone. Is that how Jesus would have you respond?" QED

You are right. It wasn't Christ-like. When Jesus rebuked hypocrisy, He didn't pull any punches. He said, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hy...

Unreasonable Men...

A theist says to a professing atheist: "Still waiting for you to provide one factual example of non-life creating life to support your ridiculously unscientific beliefs. If you utterly fail to do so, I have no reason to believe your position has any credibility whatsoever, since factual science says 'all life comes from life'" without exception.

You will be waiting for a long time, because the "new" atheist has the ultimate cop-out cut-and-paste. He's ready for people like you. He doesn't kno...

Evolution's Explanation for Male and Female

"Ray Comfort replied to 'Raoul Rheits: Raoul...Good question. You briefly explain to me evolution's explanation of why almost every kind of animal, human beings, bird, fish and insect have both male and female. How did it begin, why it happened, and we will take it from there. Thanks.' You didn't ask me, and brief explanations work better for simpler subjects than how reproductive biology changed over a couple of billion years along myriad branching paths…Large-scale adaptive change is...

It's Sunday Once Again.

Welcome to Atheist Church.

Today's hymn is: "All Things Bright and Beautiful."

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Today's sermon is from Luke Chapter 2:

"Which you have prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel. And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him...

Professor Theodosius Dobzhansky's Problem

What do you make of Christians who nevertheless believe in evolution, such as the famous biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky? He specifically wrote "I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation."

True, Theodosius Dobzhansky believed in God. It's hard not to in the face of this amazing creation. After all, the most intelligent of us can't create a grain of sand, a frog, a bird, or the simplest flower, from nothing. We don't know how to do it.

So how int...

Never a Man Spoke Like This Man

You've talked about the theory of evolution being like a cloud -- it changes constantly as new evidence is uncovered. Isn't it also true that the basic tenets of Christianity have changed over the past two millennia as views about the Bible and Jesus' preaching changed? (For example, the question of whether Jesus was divine was unsettled until several hundred years after his death -- some argued that he was wholly human, others argued that he was not human at all and his suffering was merely ...
