"Fundamentalists Atheist" by Christopher Orlet

Denominationalism in the Atheist Church- both groups fighting for the hearts and minds of people everywhere. I must admit that I am more impressed with "soft" atheism's desire to be more tolerant of the theistic worldview but the Scriptures tell us that whether or not you are a soft, hard, new or old atheist you are still a fool.

Psalm 14:1 "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good."

Psalm 53:1 "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God," They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice; There is no one who does good.

"Three Sides to the Story" by Joe Boot

While reading this commentary at least two passages come to mind:

Eccl. 3:11 "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end."

Romans 2:14-15 "For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,
in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, "

Reading Scripture for a Biblical Worldview: Worldview Bible Commentary- Reality

Text: Amos 5:8 "He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day {into} night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name. "


1. Does the universe have a purpose? This passage implies purpose by the fact that God demonstrates providence and sovereignty over His creation. Is there not purpose in all of these earthly events? Day and night, the water of the seas, and the waters entry to the surface of the earth all speak of the providential order of Almighty God.

2. What is the relationship between God and the universe? The last phrase in the verse declares the sovereignty of the Creator over His creation plainly implying that the LORD is transcendent or separate from His creation and most assuredly is not “at one” with it. It is logically incoherent for the creation to say to the Creator “we are one in the same.”

3. Is the universe closed or open? This passage indicates to us that the LORD is providentially active in the universe denying any idea of the universe being closed without outside “intrusion.”

4. What is the relationship between God and the universe? God alone is Creator and is transcendent from creation.

5. Where did the universe come from? The universe came from the sovereign Creator God who created all things out of nothing.

The Problem of Evil

"Dinosaurs and Digital Phones" by Joe Boot

Boot speaks of the need to distinguish between operational science ("present observations, technological progress") and ongoing science (hypothesizing about the past). He also writes about the role of presuppositions (assumptions) in science and scientific research.

The Rules of Engagement

"Thinking 'Worldviewishly'" by Chuck Edwards

Chuck Edwards, in his article "Thinking Worldviewishly", first defines what a "worldview" is. I personally prefer his definition over others because it better explains that worldview is a total framework of belief. Second, Edwards used the "Worldview Tree" as a metaphor for the worldview concept. Third, he provides examples as to how the Founding Fathers thought "worldviewishly" as they set out to establish a nation that characterized the Judeo-Christian worldview.

"Texas May Require Schools To Carry Elective On Bible" by Lianne Hart

At this point I really don't know where I stand on this legislation. I can say that I seem to be coming up with more negatives than positives. Maybe with more consideration I'll come to a more certain conclusion.

Steve Cable argues that the "defense of the resurrection is the foundation for answering many of the objections raised against Christianity. "

Great Quotes: A.W. Tozer

"The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian."

"Jesus Tomb Film Scholars Backtrack" by Etgar Lefkovits

I guess the old adage "That's my story and I'm sticking to it" went right out the window. Now it appears that the very scholars that were used to support the view that the lost of tomb of Christ and His family had been found are now affirming some of the very arguments against such a view.

"Starting From An Empty Tomb" by Betsy Childs

"But there is nothing more relevant to any human soul than the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and there is no more suitable foundation on which to build a life."

"It's The Culture, Stupid" by Dinesh D'Souza

"Their (radical Islam) objection is not to McDonalds or Microsoft but to America's cultural values as transmitted through movies, television and music."

“O Come All Ye Faithful?” by Denise Winterman

Denise Winterman, in her article “O Come All Ye Faithful?” speaks of the growing trend in the United Kingdom (also a growing trend in the United States) of people refraining from church attendance and pursuing alternative forms of “religious worship” whether that take place in their own individualized worship experience or in the chat room of an internet church. This trend illustrates the post-Christianization and post-modernization of so called Christian worship and fellowship thus denying Luke’s ecclesiastical comment concerning not only the early Church’s worship of the triune God but also their devotion to the apostle’s teaching, communal fellowship, to the breaking bread, and to prayer (Acts 2:42). This dynamic cannot truly take place with me, myself, and I or on some sort of superficial and futile “Internet Church” website.
