Whether millions live or die
A good initiative from Rick Warren: June 3, 2005 Dear co-worker in Christ, I have a simple request — but it could determine whether millions live or die. You’ve probably read in the papers about “The ONE Campaign: To Make Poverty History” that’s been endorsed by a wide coalition of folks from all across the […]
How Are We Meant to Understand Genesis?
After I posted this I bacame more and more sure that it was Russell Humphreys who wrote the book I referred to, so when I managed to get a spare half hour I had a look at the True Origins site, which is one of the more reasonable creationist sites. (Ken Smith) writes: This is […]
Young earth creationism
From a friend: The tragedy of young-earth creationism is that it takes a relatively recent and extreme view of Genesis, applies to it an unjustified scientific gloss, and then asks sincere and well-meaning seekers to swallow this whole, despite the massive discordance with decades of scientific evidence from multiple disciplines. Is it any wonder that […]

This uses rather more technical terms than the others – if anyone doesn’t understand something please let me know. In his post of 21 May 2005 05:38:32 -0700 Don responded to my […]
Religion and Science
Sightings 6/2/05 Diagonal Considerations — Jim Foorman “Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.” This quote from scientist J. B. S. Haldane came to mind at a recent meeting of the Martin Marty Center Advisory Board, as we discussed whether the […]
Torture
Who is seriously going to argue that Martin Luther wasn’t a real Christian? He even has a whole sect named after him. Or that the popes who revelled in the Inquisition weren’t ‘real Christians’. Or that the Grand Inquisitor of Spain, Tomas de Torquemada, was not a real Christian. He was such a real Christian […]
Christian Games
Wednesday, 25th May 2005 Playing With God Word of a Christian Game Developers Conference and the recent news that Australian’s MicroForte will be developing a “Christian game” for consoles has been ruffling the edges of the games industry for a while now. MF have even managed to snag the front page of the CGDC’s modest […]
