Oneness-in reference to denying the Trinity, as taught in many apostolic Pentecostal churches. Speaking in tongues- I'm not a cessationist. I just believe that when it happens, most churches that practice it do not follow Paul's explicit instructions on the gift.

People want equity, not equality. Equity takes into account that some groups (racial and ethnic minorities, women, homosexuals, the disabled..etc) have had to overcome certain circumstances that others may not have. Equality is simply giving everyone the same opportunities without any special...

This^ Many girls my age aren't looking to settle down yet. Many of them don't know who they are, where they are going to be, or what they are going to do with their lives. Relationships are hard and time consuming and sometimes require you to sacrifice your own dreams and goals in order to be...

I start graduate school in a month. Getting my MS in forensic anthropology and bioarchaeology. I have two undergraduate degrees, one in biological anthropology and the other in Spanish (random, I know. haha)

I'd talk with your undergraduate advisor, if you have one. They will know the ins and outs of applying to grad school (since they've clearly done it themselves) and they will know what schools are good for certain specializations, and likely what your chances are for getting in.

I agree with iluvatar5150. Go for the best program you can find, regardless if it's at a Christian school or not. I actually just applied to the bioarchaeology master's program at University of Indianapolis. It's small private school, but they have a huge emphasis on geoarchaeology and...

I don't think there is any one denomination that will suit your needs. You may just need to pray to come a across a good body of believers. I attended an apostolic Pentecostal church for the first three years of college. The pastor was a forensic chemist, and was actually the person who...

I was responding to someone else about the premise being presented in this thread. Presenting the premise doesn't mean claiming it as truth. Perhaps I should have worded it differently. I'd like it if you responded my comment on your first post rather than my clarification of the topic to...

Predators existed, and therefore killed and ate other animals.

I think you're missing the point. Herbivores and carnivores are structurally different. It's not that they like to eat different things, it's that their bodies are designed to eat different things. It would be like your body forming extra receptors for caffeine to bind to in order to make your...

Home | BioLogos has some good resources for both the science and the theology of TE.

I've been pondering this for a few months now, and I have spoken with some of my more well-read YEC friends and haven't found any answers that satisfy me yet. My thought process goes something like this: 1. If God created every animal and plant as a product of special creation, then they were...

I wasn't addressing increased complexity (although, I've yet to have someone define "increased complexity" to me) or speciation. I was addressing your assertion that beneficial mutations do not occur/do not occur often. They do occur, they do advance a species, and they do add new genetic...

Have you ever had to take antibiotics? If so, the doctor probably told you to make sure to finish the treatment, no matter if you were feeling well or not. This is because if you do not kill off all of the bacteria, they often produce mutations that allow them to be immune to that antibiotic...

Here is a little list of peer-reviewed articles, published by respected journals, by scientists who disagree with the evolutionary model: Michael J. Denton, Craig J. Marshall, and Michael Legge, “The Protein Folds as Platonic Forms: New Support for the pre-Darwinian Conception of...

Then it appears that we will have to agree to disagree. Currently, the physics behind radioactive decay shows that it is not affected by any physical or chemical change. So climate change, as far as we can currently tell, wouldn't have any affect on the rate of decay. And I'm quite aware of how...

Dating methods are not guesswork. They may not always be precise, but they are not guesswork. The science behind it is solid. I will agree that we must make the assumption that radioactive decay didn't dramatically shift in rate throughout history, but mathematically, this assumption has not run...

That is not the opinion of most anthropologists. A. afarensis had many ape-like features, and probably still spent a good amount of time in the trees. However, the morphology of the foot shows that this species had lost the divergent toe seen in earlier species (like Ar. ramidus). This allows...

That simply isn't true. We have quite a large amount of fossils that show transition. I don't like just telling people they are wrong. So I'll give you a quick overview of the evidence. All of this can be checked via any bio-anthropology text book, professor, online encyclopedia...etc. I have...
