Heaven’s Historians
Posted on May 9th, 2009 No commentsThe universe must have some kind of historical time line which is managed from a central source. God Himself keeping the universal record from His headquarters–with the assistance of those expert historians, recording angels–would be my guess. This planet Earth in its current rebellion phase has a historical time line at least partially aligned with God’s in the form of His Word, the Bible. But since rebellion in humans causes many of us to reject that inspired time line in favor of one of the many humanly fabricated alternatives, there exists a strange situation on Earth at this time: not all living beings on Earth agree on just where we are in the universe’s historical progress. Many remain clueless to the larger issues at stake in being alive at this time in human history. At some point, God will break through the fabrications and show all those alternative stories about human origins and progress and destiny to be false; that most significant of all turning points in human history since Christ made the saving sacrifice sets in motion a process which culminates in the realignment of Earth’s human historical record-keeping with the heavenly benchmark.
Do other planets have access to the heavenly historical record? When God moves His headquarters to planet Earth as indicated in the Bible, will all the saints have access? Will there be history classes in heaven? History teachers?

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
Posted on November 10th, 2008 4 commentsLast night I watched Ben Stein’s Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed last night. I was inspired. This subject never fails to energize me. It must have to do with my 180 degree turnaround in my worldview which occurred when I went from being an antagonistic religion-hater to being a baptized, born-again Seventh-day Adventist Christian, in 1986. Where once I had whole-heartedly embraced evolution theory and Darwinism in my scientific and philosophical understanding of the world, now I am a strict Young Earth Creationist, whole-heartedly rejecting Darwinism in all its many forms.
I also reject the charge that I am dishonest intellectually. I have examined the evidence as thoroughly as I need to become convinced of the great lack of factual basis for Darwinism. Don’t believe Darwinists (like Hitchens) when they try to say that anyone who looks honestly at the theory evolution cannot deny that it is truth, unless they are idiots or stupid. Download this PDF of over seven hundred scientists who have dared to dissent from the party line of Darwinism.
For a PDF of cited and sourced major claims from the film, download this leader guide from the movie’s website.I challenge all my Darwinist friends to examine the arguments in Ben Stein’s Expelled. I hear so much from Darwinists about how supposedly debunked the Intelligent Design theory is. In fact, Stein completely devastates the Darwinist community’s basis for their campaign agains ID: what passes for “academic freedom” in the scientific community in reality must succeed in gaining approval from a gauntlet of sanitizing thought police who are the real arbiters of what can and cannot be said on a university campus or in a museum like the Smithsonian.
Stein has the intellectual qualifications for a credible voice in an academic forum, although I had to read about this humble guy’s curriculum vitae on his website: graduated with honors in economics from Columbia University in 1966, graduated as valedictorian of his class from Yale Law School in 1970, successful career as a lawyer in multiple fields, including poverty law and trial law in trade regulation; and he taught law at several universities.
Ben Stein is right at home in the academic environment, and not afraid to spoof it, as shown by his famous appearance in the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as the boring teacher: “Anybody? Bueller? Anybody?”
Stein speaks face-to-face with proponents on both sides, and allows Darwinists to fully voice their theories. He also allows the testimony of many scientists and professors of science who have lost their careers because they dared to challenge Darwinism. You’ll be amazed at how reactionary and aggressive the anti-ID forces are, and to what lengths they will go to maintain a grip on their delusion that what they are promoting passes for academic freedom.
Watch the movie. I don’t think anyone will change their worldviews by viewing it, but if you are a person who believes in the honest, open discussion of any ideas in the pursuit of truth, you will be challenged by this film.

Created Equal
Posted on August 30th, 2008 No commentsPhilip E. Johnson makes a good point about the connection between creationism and equality. In his article “The Creationist and the Sociobiologist,” Johnson observes that the contemporary secular university is immersed in the flux state of post-Modernism. In such environments, the “nature and even the very existence of objective knowledge is in question.”
He then notes that our national reverence for the Declaration of Independence is well-deserved, and reminds us that it speaks out on behalf of our Creator early on, crediting Him with a “self-evident” truth. (The very idea of self-evident truth throws post-Moderns into spasms). And the truth is that we are all created equal.
