Intelligent Design And Creationism
Survival of the Slickest How anti-evolutionists are mutating their message By Chris Mooney It must take guts to be a “young-Earth” creationist. After all, imagine rejecting virtually all of modern science based on a literal interpretation of Genesis. Imagine opening yourself up to ridicule by insisting that Adam and Eve lived alongside the dinosaurs, Dinotopia-style, […]

Thinking
From James, a netfriend. Rowland Thanks again, actually a few answers as well as questions. I liked your link about encouraging ambiguity except that you finished with “Ideally, we are all moving towards ‘simplicity the other side of complexity’, but we must be patient with one another on the way there.” which seemed inconsistent with […]
Creationism (Again)
From: “Chris Ho-Stuart” Newsgroups: aus.religion.christian Subject: Re: faith (was creationism) > Ptolemy's solar system was based on the models of Aristotle. > Aristotle's model was the basis of western astronomy for > the whole history of the church from its start up until the > time of Galileo.

I have always hated the WWJD craze. It’s not that the abbreviated question — What Would Jesus Do? — is an unreasonable one for Christians to ask themselves. (Presumptuous, maybe, but not unreasonable.) And I […]
Circumcision
From a Netfriend (14 November 2002): Last year and again recently there were many posts against circumcision which were well documented and graphically described. There has been little said in favour of circumcision. Although I am not personally knowledgable on the subject I will quote from two books. The first is ‘None of These Diseases’ […]
Islam And Intolerance
A netfriend wrote: Rowland Croucher posted someone else’s quote, saying: A Muslim American Patriot….an oxymoron The thing that struck me about this piece of writing was how easily it could have been written about Christians. Is a “Christian patriot of a western democratic nation” any less of an oxymoron? Can devout Christians be patriots and […]
