Ken again Andrew Brown went to the lecture on God and evolution by Ken Miller , the one which robhu mentioned in the comments last time. Brown was impressed by Miller. I commented using the same arguments as my previous posting. The wonderful thing about standards is In other news, top geneticist Francis Collins has started his own Christian apologetics site, Biologos.org...

Best video I've seen on Climatee Change/Renewables. (cheers to robhu )

Some of you reading this know my interests and my past, and so have a pretty good idea what kind of things I know about or could comment on, that would make interesting posts. Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps you'd like me to revisit something I posted about before I recommitted my life , or refresh something I posted about afterwards ? Any ideas?

Last night in my Bible study group there was a discussion that led to someone (not me) reading out Romans 3:21-31 in their new shiny English Standard Version Study Bible . This section of the book of Romans is one of the places where the apostle Paul explains that we are made 'righteous' through faith in Christ (not through being good enough by our own efforts). Here, let me quote it from the ...

I've set up robhu_bible as a place to make posts about detailed theology, or things I think only Christians would find interesting. I have an existing blog which is mostly good for people who know me well IRL, as there is a lot of stuff I post on there that is about my day to day life. I thought it might be worth making a separate blog so that those outside of that circle who might find...

Richard Carrier recently debated with William Lane Craig. That's them in the picture, you see (I'll leave it to you to decide which one's which). You can listen here , though the audio is a bit crappy, or watch the debate on Youtube . Carrier doesn't think he did very well . He correctly says that we was a lot less organised than Craig and couldn't keep up with all the things he'd need to rebut...

A while back Andrew Brown over at the Grauniad posted a list of the 6 Points of New Atheism . There was a bit of a bun-fight among the atheists about this, because, though Brown's an atheist, he was criticising Dawkins Our Leader. It got even more fun when Dawkins turned up in the comments . (My own contribution was to treat the 6 Points as one of those LJ quiz memes: I score 2.5/6 for New Atheism...

The Thursday crew were down a couple of people, so we decided it'd be a good time to run a one-off of Dogs in the Vineyard (mentioned previously here ). The Dogs are young men and women sent to the frontier towns established by the Faith (which isn't quite Mormonism), to bring practical and spiritual help to the community. Sometimes it's the sort of help that comes from the barrel of a gun. After...

I'm talking about doubt in a few places at the moment. The feeds of my comments don't cover stuff outside LJ (I was using CoComment, but decided that was too risky ), so here's where the action is: Over at Hermant the Friendly Atheist 's place, top Christian evangelist Lee Strobel turns the tables on us, and invites other Christian authors to ask atheists hard questions about atheism . You...

Leave the floor if you've ever snogged dab13 So, last time it was just before Christmas, and I was looking forward to the CDC Ball. That was fun, as usual, although I think the women suffered from the lack of men a bit (I suffered in a different way, in that I had to peel my shirt off at the end of it). Safi came along, as did jacquic , and it was lovely to see them both. As promised...
