Adam is fading out. It is on account of Darwin and that crowd. I can see that he is not going to last much longer. There’s a plenty of signs. He is getting belittled to...

An interesting contrast between the geology of the present day and that of half a century ago, is presented by the complete emancipation of the modern geologist from the controlling and perverting influence of theology,...

I would urge us to be not too certain of our accustomed ways of looking at Genesis, and to open ourselves to the wisdom of the God-bearing men of the past who have devoted so...

Make history, don’t tell stories

How convinced are you that man was created in the image of God when you can’t see the image of God?

The greatest things that have ever happened in this world, had their genesis in the wake of special relationships of rare destiny.

The biblical account of the origin of the cosmos in Genesis, for example, posits that a god created the physical universe particularly with human beings in mind, and so unsurprisingly placed the Earth at the...

Captivity ends when creativity begins

th’ unconquerable will,/ And study of revenge, immortal hate,/ And courage never to submit or yield/ And what is else not to be overcome?

Darwin caused controversy, not merely because his ideas contradicted Genesis, but because they fell foul of the way in which Genesis had been read by those influenced by the Enlightenment, for it was the Enlightenment...

The American people spend thousands of dollars to propagate the doctrines of the fall of man, the creation of the world out of nothing in six days by a personal God, vicarious atonement, absolution from...

There’s no problem with starting small. The bigger problem is remaining small

And to think of this great country in danger of being dominated by people ignorant enough to take a few ancient Babylonian legends as the canons of modern culture. Our scientific men are paying for...

Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser one to rule the night. He made stars also.Genesis 1:16

High buildings fall, black oceans rise, and coins sink in height Where weapons smash in every grace, with every black and white The east drops, the west too, children die and so do oldWith every...

Do you, good people, believe that Adam and Eve were created in the Garden of Eden and that they were forbidden to eat from the tree of knowledge? I do. The church has always been...

By the way, if you get mad at your Mac laptop and wonder who designed this demonic device, notice the manufacturer’s icon on top: an apple with a bite out of it.

When I saw that Moses’ version of the Genesis of the world did not fit sufficiently in many ways with Aristotle and the rest of the philosophers, I began to have doubts about the truth...

At present, a good many men engaged in scientific pursuits, and who have signally failed in gaining recognition among their fellows, are endeavoring to make reputations among the churches by delivering weak and vapid lectures...

As we begin our study of Genesis 1 then, we must be aware of the danger that lurks when we impose our own cultural ideas on the text without thinking. The Bible’s message must not...

It is high time that we grew up and left the Garden. We are indeed Eden’s children, yet it is time to place Genesis alongside the geocentric myth in the basket of stories that once,...

God, Buddha, The Force, Yahweh, the singularity, the unicity point—call it whatever you like—the result is the same. Science and religion support the same truth—pure energy is the father of creation.

If God created the universe, there was a time when he commenced to create. Back of that commencement there must have been an eternity. In that eternity what was this God doing? He certainly did...

The most central truth to the creation account is that this world is a place for God’s presence.

Feminists who accept the claim made in The Book of Genesis, and, that God is a he, need to make their minds up.

Now if there is anything in this universe for which we do not have an “inkling,” it is the ultimate goal of the Creator. Erroneous notions regarding this goal often stem from the misconception that...

[All the ancient wisdom] tells us that work is necessary to us, as much a part of our condition as mortality; that good work is our salvation and our joy; that shoddy or dishonest or...

On the whole, we’re a murderous race. According to Genesis, it took as few as four people to make the planet too crowded to stand, and the first murder was a fratricide. Genesis says that...

In the Bible, a woman was made from a man. In real life, a man is made from a woman.

As we reread Genesis 2…we immediately understand WHAT is ‘crafty’ about the serpent’s question in Genesis 3. God did NOT in fact say in Genesis 2, ‘You MUST NOT EAT from any tree in the...

We think ourselves possessed, or at least we boast that we are so, of liberty of conscience on all subjects and of the right of free inquiry and private judgment in all cases, and yet...

Solitude is the soil in which genius is planted, creativity grows, and legends bloom; faith in oneself is the rain that cultivates a hero to endure the storm, and bare the genesis of a new...

The sense of alienation that inspires wonder, awe and fear in us is enough of a proof that life does not belong to the planet Earth.

Creatures cannot image even the true God in biblical thinking generally speaking. Nevertheless – and here is the extraordinary exception – there ARE “gods” in the world. There ARE images of God placed in a...

Why didn’t Jacob simply refuse to go along with this bold, obvious swindle? Again, Robert Alter’s insights are invaluable. When Jacob asks, ‘Why have you DECEIVED me?’ the Hebrew word is the same one used...

Evolution strikes me as infinitely more spiritually profound than Genesis.

The extracellular genesis of cells in animals seemed to me, ever since the publication of the cell theory [of Schwann], just as unlikely as the spontaneous generation of organisms. These doubts produced my observations on...

Did the Abrahamic God know that, by “divinely inspiring” the book of Genesis and other tales in the Bible, that He would cause millions to impede scientific understandings of our origins and push for myth...

Current theories on the creation of the Universe state that, if it were created at all and didn’t just start, as it were, unofficially, it came to being between ten and twenty thousand million years...

We do not have to see the beginning and the end of our lives, but we must close our eyes and live as if we didn’t start or would never end.

Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so; but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since.

Although her disobedience is tragic, Eve’s innocence is not all bad. Certainly, that innocfence leads her to make a poor choice – the very worst – but the fact that she makes a choice at...

The Shield was another of the Fear’s names. According to Laughter, it means he shields the seed of Abraham the way a man starting a fire shields the flame. When Sarah was about to die...
