Atheists Against Darwinism
An article by Peter S. Williams posted on the Evangelical Philosophical Society’s website entitled Atheists Against Darwinism: Johnsons’ “Wedge” Breaks Through is an interesting read. You can check it out here.
Y’all is required English
While engaging in an email conversation the other day, a friend lamented my written usage of “y’all” in our correspondence. After cordially (and immediately) responding to him, I realized that a larger audience is in need of my valuable insights concerning the value of this precious commodity. In this regard I have inserted my response…
First Broadway Musical
“The Pentateuch somewhat resembles a Hollywood musical. Its story is both interrupted and developed by the songs (poems). Also like a musical, the songs (poems) are not randomly spliced into the story. The songs (poems) develop and carry the central theme of the story. They are the primary means for developing what the narratives are…
Social Media: Why You Need To Be Involved
My readership is split almost perfectly in half. I have the half that is routed to my blog via my Facebook account and the other half is not on Facebook and checks out my blog as part of their weekly internet reading ritual.

History
I like history, I really do. Actually, it can’t be helped. Call it subliminal messages. It seems that even from my youngest days everyone around me seemed to connect me to history too. From the bully at school I’d hear “Your history kid!” “Um, no I’m Israel” Maybe that’s why I changed my name to…
April Free Things
I’m a little late this month with the April free things because I wanted to listen to Christian Audio’s free audio book before I linked it here for y’all. Well, I haven’t listened to the whole book yet, but what I’ve heard has left me on the edge of my seat and I’m sorry to…
