Announcing the “Lucy" Summer Tour

And you thought the Stones were old…

3.2 Million Year Old Lucy to make 11-city Tour

Now what could possibly be the motive behind this, since it has already been established that Lucy is not a human ancestor? The article even refers to Lucy as "the world's most famous human ancestor" and “the hominoid skeleton”. I guess some feel that, if you repeat a lie often enough, it’ll eventually become true.

    Here is my problem, and maybe this is the big question for all of us who do apologetics...

    The normal guy in the street does not know that Lucy is nothing but an ape. He reads the newspaper, he watches CNN etc, and there is no mention of any controversy. Likewise, he goes to church where he hears the latest purpose-driven message or even a good sermon. He came through a government school system and college where long-discredited evolutionary "evidence" is still presented as fact. He is taught no logic or critical thinking, no philosophy of science. He has no mechanism by which to recognize these fallacies.

    How do we address that?

    Pray, Preach the truth, and blog on. :)

    Fortunately, Evolutionary thinking hasn't made as many inroads in American Thinking as it has in Europe (and there is even evidence that Europe is turning back to God slowly.)

    It is important that we see the Great Commission as a cultural mandate, as opposed to just getting individuals to an altar to repeat a prayer. We are called to make disciples of all nations, not in all nations. But as August pointed out, we have our work cut out for us.

    I heard someone say that the biggest mission field in the world today is the American Church. I'm inclined to agree, and that is where we must start.

    August,

    Good Question.

    1. It's helped me when I read about examples of how evolutionists so wanted to convince, they took pieces of evidence separated by distance and claimed they were one.
    2. It's also helped understanding presuppostional thinking and how that affects how one sees/interprets evidence.
    3.It's helped seeing how often the media and scientists state that findings (such as of future experiments on Mars, etc.) will PROVE evolution... well before the experiments are carried out.
    4. Finally, it provides affirmation in seeing the cases in which the world is adamant about not desiring/allowing both sides of the argument to be presented (helps see there's more than just science, but religion that's at the heart of it.)

    I think the SAME TYPE things must be done to help others see these things (I was the typical person you described.) How this is accomplished on a greater (more numerous) level is a bigger question.

    Part of the answer is in educating the clergy! I had not given much thought to many of these things until a man passed out a free book to pastors leaving our General Assembly. Reading the book make me think. (Pastors love free books!)

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Logic Force Theory: A New Perspective on Reality (R=L+S→D)

# Author's Note The theory presented in these pages emerged from a simple yet persistent question: Why does mathematics so effectively describe physical reality? This "unreasonable effectiveness," as Eugene Wigner famously termed it, suggests a deep connection between logical necessity and physical behavior. Logic Force Theory (LFT) represents an attempt to explore this connection by positing that logical structure might be more fundamental than physical laws themselves. I present this theory not as a complete or final framework, but as an invitation to consider a different perspective on quantum mechanics. While LFT offers potential solutions to longstanding problems like the measurement problem and the quantum-to-classical transition, it also raises new questions and challenges. Some of its mathematical frameworks require further development, and its philosophical implications need deeper exploration. The core premise - that reality must conform to logical necessity ( R...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...
