A Naturalistic Fairy Tale-Part V

And then was there thought for a long time to be a giant impact upon the Earth that resulted in the moon. (1) Or later, perhaps not. (2) Indeed, the Earth was in fact very different from today. There were no oceans and no oxygen. Then was the Earth bombarded by [...]

On Christian Views of Creationism–Part V (Continued: Young Earth Creationism)

Some commentators read my general overviews, and they assume that I don’t know the basic cosmological views, such as the cosmological view of the starlight and time problem.

The dating is based on the genealogy listed in the chapter Numbers in the Bible. This perspective says that uniformitarian interpretations of geology and cosmology are incorrect or misinterpreted.

On Ecological Biodiversity and Irreducible Complexity

I’m in the middle of a book titled: In Six Days; Why Fifty Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation (Ashton, 2000).  All the chapters (which are composed by the different scientists giving their reasons) have been informative and interesting, [...]

On Christian Views of Creationism–Part I (Old Earth Creationism)
