DNA or Don’t kNow Anything?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

If you never read another article on the creation/evolution debate, read this one:
Creation vs. Evolution: What our Children Need to Know
It isn’t highly technical, but exactly where this debate has always belonged: it’s about world views.
ADDED LATER: There are two other articles along the same lines, and well worth your time:

Women in the Bible

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

I would like to try and summarize my views on what the Bible teaches about women.
