The Importance of Prejudice

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

The Importance of PrejudicePost from: Kreitsauce's Musings Prejudice is inescapable, and moreover it is necessary. Oh, I know the word has a very negative connotation these days, and rest assured that I’m not trying to cast a positive light on discrimination or injustice. What I mean here is that there will always be- indeed must be- [...]

Separation of Church and…..Art?

Separation of Church and…..Art?

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

"The Arts Enrich Us All", or at least, that's what one series of public-service announcements proclaim. Some Christians disagree. They are, perhaps, wary of beliefs and philosophies that run contrary to the Bible, and they are right to be concerned. David Puttnam, producer of the film Chariots of Fire, once said, "Cinema is propaganda."

Oh, For Crying Out Loud!

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

I got the title of this post from my favorite line from Stargate: SG-1. Jack O'neill always says it when he gets frustrated by people who waste time on stupidity, wrong-headed thinking, or inane political mumbo-jumbo. Frankly, I've noticed a lot of Christians that deserve a good "Oh, for crying out loud," from the Colonel himself, followed by my second favorite line. My reason for this is that it seems like so many Christians have their heads firmly planted in the sand.

Charles Wesley’s Original Lyrics to “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

Charles Wesley’s Original Lyrics to “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings Personally, I prefer Wesley’s original lyrics to the version currently in our hymnals: Hark, how all the welkin rings, “Glory to the King of kings; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; Universal nature say, “Christ the [...]

I Love Lucy

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

I Love LucyPost from: Kreitsauce's Musings Lucy, the small australopithecus afarensis, is supposed to be our ancestor. Standing at around three feet tall, she doesn’t look like much. It’s obvious that if we’re supposed to get from a chimp-like creature to our current standing of Homo sapien, there’s going to have to be a lot of [...]

The Poetry and Artistry of Evolution

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

The Poetry and Artistry of EvolutionPost from: Kreitsauce's Musings You’d probably assume that a blog post about biological evolution would deal with biology or some other related study. However, that’s not where I’m taking this discussion today. Today, I’ll be looking at the poetic and artistic aspects of the Darwinism movement. To be honest, it makes [...]

Evolution: A Logical Lightweight

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

Evolution: A Logical LightweightPost from: Kreitsauce's Musings At the AAAS convention in San Francisco, Carl Sagan once explained in his lecture “Velikovsky’s Challenge to Science” that science works in this way: “The most fundamental axioms and conclusions may be challenged.” The hypothesis “must survive confrontation with observation. Appeals to authority are impermissible. Experiments must be reproducible.” That’s [...]

In the Multitude of Evidence there is Safety

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

In the Multitude of Evidence there is SafetyPost from: Kreitsauce's Musings We should all be very grateful for what science has allowed us to achieve. The medical fields have provided us with the ability to heal many wounds and diseases previously thought to be untreatable. Technology has allowed us to communicate and travel efficiently. Yes, because [...]

Post from: Kreitsauce's Musings

Your Own Historical Jesus- WritingsPost from: Kreitsauce's Musings We’ve seen how biblical creeds and archeological finds are both types of proof for the Gospel message. In this last section, we turn to ancient writings by secular historians and their Christian counterparts. This will reveal the most clear details of early Christian belief and also provide further [...]
