Friday Favorites on Monday
Since the following sites on my blogroll aren’t personal blogs, I’ll combine them into a single post. Look for this kind of thing whenever I come across a site that is not a personal blog.
1. Answers In Genesis daily Articles (feed)
AiG is one of the sites that got me interested in the evolution debate. It wasn’t long ago that I was a relatively ignorant lad who simply repeated much of the garbage in this article. After going toe-to-toe with a well-learned evolutionist, I realized how poorly the Christian community had prepared its young people to answer tough questions. Worse than that, we were told that tough questions didn’t exist, and that there was NO EVIDENCE for Darwinism at all. As you might can tell, this left me in a very bad situation.
I became a reader of AiG some time ago. Since then, I’ve moved away from the “scientific creationism” (a bit of an oxymoron), but still enjoy reading the research done at AiG. There are many very smart people doing good work there.
Since I started blogging, and subsequently reading blogs via a feed reader, I’ve subscribed to the daily articles at AiG. It gives me ideas of my own to write about, and keeps me up to date with the research going on at the organization.
2. Feedburner Blog (feed)
Since I’m a Feedburner user, I figured the best way to keep current with all the stuff going on there would be to subscribe to the blog. I’m so happy I did too. For instance, when MyYahoo announced they’d start reporting feed stats to Feedburner, I knew about it immediately from my feed reader.
That’s it for now! Look for the next post in my blogroll this coming Friday!

“It wasn’t long ago that I was a relatively ignorant lad who simply repeated much of the garbage in this article.”
From context I gather that link was supposed to go to an AiG article, but it goes instead to your article “Why Christians Misunderstand Science”. Unless, of course, you intended to say that your article was full of garbage, which I assure you it wasn’t.
Well, perhaps I should provide some context. I mean to send the link to my own article, but I wasn’t referencing the article as garbage, but some of the quotes I attributed to ignorant Christians such as:
I truly appreciate the kind words toward that article, though. It really does mean a lot.
Ah, ah, I misunderstood the context.
Of course there are tough questions… Which many Christian communities do little to nothing to adequately prepare their children for.
But if somebody asked me “Is there any evidence for Darwinism at all” I just might be justified in saying “absolutely none.” Care to counter?
Well, I don’t think you can accurately say “no evidence”. That’s a bit presumptuous. I believe that all the evidence for Darwinism is debatable and inconclusive. I’m not sure I’d be so bold as to make a universal statement about a scientific theory’s validity.
There have been plenty of data sets that are “compatible within” Darwinism, but none that I know of that constitute positive support for…
Darwinism goes so far as to verge on an anti-axiomatic position - not only logically indefensible but almost explicitly contradictory to logical necessity… It is the empirical equivalent of standing up in math class and saying “that divergent series is convergent”, point blank logical contradiction…
Sorry. I’ll stop now. I’m just smack in the middle of pumping out a science epistemology paper on “the Illusion of Objectivism” for an upcoming conference and I guess I’m still baffled by the “logic” posessed by the uh… less informed side.
Sure. Top down vs. Bottom up. I understand. Still though, it can smack a Christian upside the head to be bombarded with a college that overwhelms them with evidence that, on the surface, blatantly contradicts their entire concept of reality. Thus the need to be informed. Sadly, ignorance preferred it seems.
By all means, vent on! That’s what this blog is here for.
