I'm surprised Kent Hovind made the same error Ray Comfort made. Kent even quotes the Wikipedia article on broccoli, only to ignore that the article states broccoli was bred by farmers. As if his dissertation opening with "Hello, my name is Kent Hovind" didn't reveal his qualifications before...

Growing up I heard all Christian denominations, particularly protestant or evangelical ones, being referred to as 'the Church'. Apparently this is their interpretation of what Jesus did when He founded His church which the gates of Hell shall never overcome. I would think that a Holy church...

My 11th grade Physics teacher went on a long and aggressive rant against YEC on the first day of class. It took up at least half the class period. He would occasionally make jabs at creationists throughout the school year. This was during the 2013-2014 school year, around the same time Bill Nye...

I find it interesting how the major YEC organizations do not use Kent Hovind's arguments or theories, yet Kent Hovind is one of the most, if not the most, popular proponent of YEC. If you're a fan of Kent Hovind, could you explain why?

Probably the most common argument used by those in favour of making it illegal for a bakery to refuse catering a same sex wedding is as follows: Refusing to cater a gay wedding is like refusing to give service to a black person. I would think the problem with this logic is that a same sex...

I recently discovered 2 priests in Eastern Orthodox parishes. They are pro LGBT and probably pro same sex marriage. They do not view it as evil. They were both OCA, and I have heard some very disturbing things about the OCA. Judas was an apostle, so I shouldn't be surprised that a few priests...

When I leave work, it is usually well past dusk. My place of work is on a highway, and I've heard of drug dealing happening in the parking lot outside. Police lights are seen extremely often. If it is a sin to be prejudice towards someone who looks dangerous, then I'm not sure how I could avoid...

I know drunkenness is a sin, but getting buzzed is fine. Does the same standard apply to smoking various things?

Apparently, this is the biggest issue between Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. I don't care for a debate, I'm just asking fellow Orthodox about this. John 15:26 is cited by Roman Catholics. I guess Papacy also used to be a big issue, but I don't personally know any Roman Catholics that...

I've heard from various Eastern Orthodox and protestants that the annihilation of the Canaanites wasn't anywhere near as destructive as Deuteronomy 2:34 and 3:6 make it out to be. I do wonder why God didn't say to Moses the same things Jesus said in the New Testament. Why stone adulteresses and...

I only care for other evolutionary creationists to give answers. Is Genesis 1-11 a parable or not canonical at all? Many atheists say that Genesis 1-11 cannot be parable because it mentions people's names and events surrounding them. The parable of the Good Samaritan also reads like a historical...

I posted this meme I made in a sarcastic Facebook group called Orthodox Meme Squad. I've posted my own memes in this group and gotten lots of favourable responses. This one was not favourable, and I got banned shortly afterwards being called an unorthodox heretic who was brainwashed by Jews and...

I made a meme! I would like to know how YEC and OEC explain the various human transitional fossils found. Tons can be found with a quick Internet search. The other points I added for fun. I make lots of memes.

I suspect the majority of 'transgenders' don't have anything wrong with their chromosomes, but rather a psychological issue.

I understand the Apostles were the first bishops. How do we trace the lineage of our church all the way back to them?

One of my priest's monk friends told me that homosexuslity and atheism are far more prevalent in Greece, Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia, than they are in the US. If that's true then I find that saddening. None if those countries have legalized same-sex marriage, and I don't see soldiers outside of...

I've long considered vacationing there. I suspect it's mostly Buddhist and atheist. Supposedly the government is much more tolerant of religions nowadays.

I'm 22. I have a full-time job and a car. I've never dated before but have been thinking about starting. I still live in my childhood house with my mother. My 2 older sisters have already married and moved out. It's a large, 2-story house that feels very empty with only 2 people living in it. I...
