Robert Jimenez asks if inerrancy has outlived its usefulness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jim Davila comments on a misleading headline<\/a>, which refers to an ancient \u201ceyewitness account of the Christmas story.<\/a>\u201d It is of course written from that perspective, but unlikely to be authentic. The author\u2019s dissertation is available on Academia.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michael Behe and Keith Fox discuss intelligent design<\/a> on the UK radio show Unbelievable.<\/p>\n

Michael Patton<\/a> could do with being better informed (and caring more) about the evidence for evolution, but still has some useful things to say about the attitudes<\/em> of many Christians.<\/p>\n

And finally, I had to share an amusing \u201cquotation\u201d attributed to Jesus by John Shuck<\/a>: \u201cTo what shall I compare the Empire of God? It is a room full of people trying to figure out what in heaven\u2019s name I was talking about.<\/span> \u201c<\/p>\n
