The Arrogance of Science – Confessions Of A YEC
https://confessionsofayec.wordpress.com/2014/12/07/the-arrogance-of-science
Confessions Of A YEC. Confessions Of A (former) Young Earth Creationist. December 7, 2014. The Arrogance of Science. This week I found myself in a conversation concerning the possibility of life elsewhere in our galaxy, so reference was made to the Fermi Paradox ( http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi paradox. What if the maths they use is different? Or what if their planet has different natural elements that we don’t even know of? It was at this point than the charge came. Science is so arrogant that it th...

limey – Confessions Of A YEC
https://confessionsofayec.wordpress.com/author/vteclimey
Confessions Of A YEC. Confessions Of A (former) Young Earth Creationist. June 7, 2016. An Argument from Size. The comments in the linked blog post are not new. I see them quite regularly in discussions with Christians. Like the referenced blog post the argument typically hinges on getting things wrong, because if those who made the argument actually made the effort to get their thoughts right, they’d not make the point. A few quick corrections. An Argument from Size. However, does not size and probability.

I don’t like that I won’t see you in Heaven – Confessions Of A YEC
https://confessionsofayec.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/i-dont-like-that-i-wont-see-you-in-heaven
Confessions Of A YEC. Confessions Of A (former) Young Earth Creationist. October 11, 2014. I don’t like that I won’t see you in Heaven. In my view, one of the hardest discussions a couple can have, when one of them has deconverted, is one that involves hell and the afterlife. So I didn’t. It’s with this knowledge that I am relieved that my wife never shared the same view of hell that I did. She takes a much more liberal interpretation, saying that hell is simply separation from God, IE not bein...I’...

https://confessionsofayec.wordpress.com/2014/11/16/hell-conversation
Confessions Of A YEC. Confessions Of A (former) Young Earth Creationist. November 16, 2014. Recently I had the following blog post show up in my feed ( http:/ www.patheos.com/blogs/unfundamentalistchristians/2014/10/atheist-and-christian-argue-about-hell-guess-who-wins/. It’s an interesting discourse and will only take a minute or two to read, so I recommend it. That might be an intentionally provocative sentence). In discussing this blog post with my wife, I had the chance to put forward to her the posi...

Religion Should Encourage Satire – Confessions Of A YEC
https://confessionsofayec.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/religion-should-encourage-satire
Confessions Of A YEC. Confessions Of A (former) Young Earth Creationist. January 9, 2015. Religion Should Encourage Satire. Satire is not insult, satire is not hate. Satire is comedy; satire is making a serious point through humour. For as long as I can remember, the best serious points have been made by comedians with a microphone and cartoonists with a pen. The ability to laugh at yourself is arguably one of the most important and attractive characteristics any human being can posses. Today there are p...

John Piper: Japan Earthquake is “Great Gift” | Cognitive Discopants
https://cognitivediscopants.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/john-piper-japan-earthquake-is-great-gift
On figuring out whether the problem lies with the square peg or the round hole. Laquo; Rob Bell in the Hot Seat. The High Price of Inerrancy. John Piper: Japan Earthquake is “Great Gift”. March 18, 2011. John Piper does his Bullwinkle impression. In an article posted yesterday at his Desiring God website. John Piper offered his explanation of God’s purposes behind the tragedy in Japan. Japan, one of America’s biggest trading partners? 1945 was a long time ago. I’m baffled. And boy does Piper have answers.
