Genesis One: The Waters Above and the Waters Below

I was really having a hard time getting anything out of day 2 of creation. Maybe Answers in Genesis can deal with the science of having water above the firmament which holds the sun, moon, and stars, but I can’t. How do you have water above the stars? And I don’t think Genesis one is [...]

Darwin and Darwinism: A Thought

I took a little risk and wrote a post on Charles Darwin his 200th “birthday.” Why would I do that? Darwinism is blamed for turning people away from God.
