In this past spring semester of 2009, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary offered a ThM level seminar on Biblical Creationism. Along with six other books and a few articles, Coming to Grips with Genesis was required reading. At the end of the seminar, we gave a brief synopsis of the material. The consensus opinion of the seminar participants was that CTGWG was the most beneficial and comprehensive of the texts discussed. To read more about our evaluation, go to Coming to Grips with Genesis in the Classroom.

In addition, the Detroit Baptist Seminary Journal will have a thorough critique of CTGWG in the next issue of the journal, to be released later in the summer. Dr. Matt Postiff has prepared a comprehensive critique for this issue of the journal. If you do not subscribe to the journal, now is a good time to subscribe. Recently, we have set up the journal so that you can subscribe to it online. To take advantage of this online ordering, click here and follow the brief instructions.

The links for the three articles that I wrote for SharperIron in March to April of this year have changed.

As you may know SharperIron 2.0 went through a major makeover at the end of May. With the update to SI 3.0, one of the transitional hiccups is that the article collection remained on the old database. Though some progress has been made in moving the pre-June 1 articles to the new database, work is currently being done to complete the transition (for more information, go here). The progress that has been made included my three articles. The current links are as follows.

“An Apologia for the 24-Hour Day Creation View, Part 1“

“An Apologia for the 24-Hour Day Creation View, Part 2“

“An Apologia for the 24-Hour Day Creation View, Part 3“

As our politicians prepare to take US citizens on an expensive spending spree to correct anthropogenic global warming (it is always easier to spend the taxpayer’s money), it is distressing to see the hype about global warming. However, besides some biblical issues, what exacerbates the situation for me is that there is scientific work that shows man’s activity is a minor issue in global warming. Though I have given my perspective on the absurd and unbiblical basis for global warming in a number of posts (for starters, click here), Dr. Larry Vardiman wrote a concise and informative article that appeared in yesterday’s July on-line issue of Acts and Facts. To read this article, go to “Will Solar Inactivity Lead to Global Cooling?.” In addition, while you are at ICR’s website, I would highly recommend that you sign-up to receive each monthly issue of Acts and Facts.
