Given my research and writing these past few years on the young creationist movement, and the upcoming release of my self-published book, The Heresy of Ham, I thought it would be interesting to share my very first impressions of Ken Ham, when I first was even made aware of him back in 2010. What follows is…
To get ready for the opening of Ken Ham’s Ark Encounter, as well as my self-published book, The Heresy of Ham, I thought I’d provide a post in which I list all the posts I’ve written on Ken Ham over the past year, so that it might be easier to find them. Enjoy…use this as a reference…share…
A Tale From My Teaching Years Back in 1997, during my first year of teaching, I taught British Literature. One of the first units I covered was the Anglo-Saxon period, and the epic of Beowulf. Now, Beowulf followed the mythological “hero cycle” that most hero stories follow—be it Beowulf, Superman, Luke Skywalker, Bilbo Baggins…you name…
Yesterday I began to share a recent post by Answers in Genesis, entitled, “Top 10 Myths About Creation.” Yesterday was myths 10-6. Today we have myths 5-1. Enjoy… Myth #5: Creationists are Anti-Science: Of course that’s not true, the writer states. But that’s evolutionists for you: they just vilify creationists and try to make it sound…
A few days ago, I came across a tweet by Answers in Genesis that was for an article that could be found on their website. The article was entitled, “Top 10 Myths About Creation.” I clicked on the link and read the article, and was rather perplexed. As with most articles with AiG, a first…
Let me admit it up front, the title to this post is a little misleading. Gregory of Nyssa (335-394 AD) was an early Church Father and, along with Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus, was one of the three Cappadocian Fathers—these three men helped formulate the official doctrine of the Trinity. So, to quote…
In Revelation 11 we see the conclusion to the first part of the symphony of Revelation. You can read my past posts to catch up on the progression of this first part that essentially consists of Revelation 4-11. Here in Revelation 11, though, what we see is the “thing” that John must prophesy after he…
Just as chapter 7 was a “break in the action” between the 6th and 7th seals, this next section (10:1-11:14) is also a “break in the action” between the 6th and 7th trumpets. Just as the events in chapter 7 were necessary before the 7th seal could be opened, the events described here in 10:1-11:14…
Ken Ham’s Ark Encounter is scheduled to open a little over a month from now. In order to get ready for it, I’m going to post a few things about Ken Ham and young earth creationism that didn’t make it into my book, The Heresy of Ham, that hopefully I’ll make available to coincide with the opening of…
We now come to Revelation 9, and the 5th and 6th trumpets. As I pointed out in the last post, the first four trumpets are similar to the first four seals, in that they should be seen together as a group. Thusly, the 5th and 6th trumpets, like the 5th and 6th seals, follow in…
