    So that's why information can't increase

    Hi! Trying to figure out, why Information can't increase I stumbled across Lee M. Spetner, a creationist/IDist information theorist. I have criticized his approach in this EvoWiki article: The Spetner Anomaly. The background is as follows: In an interchange with Edward E. Max, Spetner has...

    Taking the wrong turn ...

    Check this out : Grammar revealed in a whale’s love song. According to the article, mathematical analysis of the male humpbackwhales songs shows there are complex grammatical rules. Using syntax, the whales combine sounds into phrases, which they further weave into hours-long melodies...

    The Law and the Cross

    I know a woman, who considers herself a Christian, yet she is lesbian and lives together with another woman. She has asked, if she really has to choose between God and the woman she loves. Homosexuality is by many Christians considered to be contrary to the will of God. And there is Biblical...

    Should spirits be allowed in science?

    Hi! This is a copy of a post I've made at the TWeb, but I thought it might be of interest here as well. William Dembski has written a rebuttal of a critique by Howard Van Till of Dembski's book No Free Lunch. Near the end of the linked paper Dembski invokes the spirit of W.V. Quine and...

    In chap. 32 ("Hume, Reid, and Signs of Intelligence") Dembski has this syllogism:P1 Watches are designed.

    Luke 2:2: 'prôtê' vs. 'proteron'

    Hello! The word translated 'first' in Luke 2:2 is 'prôtê', which some people prefer translated to 'before' (Quirinius governed Syria), but that is 'proteron' in Greek - as far as I have understood, that is. To what extent, if any, is 'before' a possible translation of 'prôtê' in this context...

    Which Lysanias?

    The MT produced by the "Council of Jamnia"?

    See e.g. this article for general info: Council of Jamnia. Occasionally it is claimed that the Council of Jamnia (Jaffa), assuming it ever took place, did not so much establish the Jewish canon, but rather decided on which versions of the texts should be accepted, and some even venture as far...

    The Sea and its Creatures

    In the Biblical prophecies the sea occasionally is depicted as the home, or at least origin, of monsters. Isaiah has this neat little piece: Isaiah 27 1 In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the...

    The Millenium Post!!!

    There is currently a trend in the "Creation and Evolution" forum to make it more creationist-friendly, so therefore I dedicate this my post #1000 to invite all creationists in the "Origins Theology" forum to at least try to post in the C&E forum - just remember that some of natives there may...

    New Age à la Luther

    Hi; In the Lutheran church in Denmark New Age ideas are spreading, especially belief in reincarnation. I am curious as to the extent to which this might be the case in Lutheran churches elsewhere. Autumn 2005 the Danish high court overruled the decision of a local parish council to disengage a...

    Calvin & Hobbes

    No, I'm not referring to the cartoon series, but just curious about the Lutheran attitude towards Thomas Hobbes :) While Jean Calvin was a younger temporary of Martin Luther and certainly inspired by Luther, Thomas Hobbes is around a century later, 1588-1679. His most important book is...

    The Wedding in Cana

    No, this is not yet another fermented/unfermented grape-juice thread :) The story about the wedding in Cana is in John 2:1-11, but as usual in this gospel it's rather a parable. The new wine that is better than the old wine is of course the teachings of Jesus in comparison to the teachings of...
