Why Evolution is True

E. I. Sanchez — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:47:23 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, our good friend - famously known as "Johnny O" sent Dan and me an offer to get us a copy of Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show on Earth - if we were interested in checking it out and learning more about evolution.

Well - I sort of accepted but after reading some reviews online - it seems like Dawkins' latest book is more rhetoric than science. Thus - I turned to University of Chicago Professor Jerry Coyne's aptly titled: Why Evolution is true.

I have a business trip to the beautiful city of Seattle coming up so I'll have plenty of time to spend with my new friend: evolution!. Theistic Evolution Camp -- here I come. LOL.

If You're Going To Be Wrong, At Least Be Accurate

This is why it's important to distinguish between catholic, Catholic, and Roman Catholic.

Apologetic Values for Probable, Possible, Likely

E. I. Sanchez — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:47:29 +0000

I have a lesson on John 8 (Woman Caught in Adultery) coming up and I'd like to discuss the meaning of Probable, Possible, Likely in respects to:

Does the story belong in the bible? Since it is not in the earliest manuscripts, does it mean - it is not authentic?

What are some examples that illustrate what probable, possible and likely mean?

Could a sun storm kill us all tomorrow? It's probable but not likely. But it's possible.

Could a wild monkey learn Chinese in two weeks? That's impossible! Or is it? (scary hahaha!)

Anyway, if you have more examples, let me know.

Learn NT Greek -- Best Resources

I guess I'm selfish. But apparently brain researchers are saying that learning a new language helps your brain stay healthy.

So I said to myself: learn some NT Greek -- which I have been saying to myself for a long time -- but this time -- I sort of want to move forward.

Does anybody know of some good resources (self-study) video, audio or text book for learning New Testament Greek?

Does anybody have experience with online schools they would recommend?

Richard Dawkin's Greatest Show On Earth

E. I. Sanchez — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:07:19 +0000

In case you missed it, Prof. Dawkins visited the Colbert Report to discuss his newest book: The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution.

Watch below as Colbert puts him to the test.

Incidentally, our frequent reader Johnny challenged me to give The Greatest Show on Earth a listen so I will purchase the audio book from iTunes soon and I'll keep you updated on my progress there...

If Evil Exists, then God Exists...

St. Augustine made this observation. God did not create evil. God cannot do evil. God is Good. Watch the video below for a 21st Century treatment...

The Angry Evolutionist: Se�or Richard Dawkins

E. I. Sanchez — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:33:06 +0000

More Americans believe in angels than in evolution—and Richard Dawkins isn't going to take it anymore.

Check out this NewsWeek article recommended by our frequent reader: Johny. Then come back and add your thoughts to mine in the comments.
