The Meaning Of Christmas

By Malgwyn | December 30, 2009

Setting # 4.Carrying from my last post, Seeing Queen Elizabeth  in different settings, the informal as well as in splendour and majesty, very royal, leads me to think of another very surprising scene. Christmas time reminds us of Someone more special than Queen Elizabeth II. Thirty years down his road of life he was unrecognised. We [...]

Life’s Big Surprises

By Malgwyn | December 30, 2009

Setting # 1. It is surprising seeing someone extraordinary looking very ordinary in an ordinary setting. I was reading on the Internet, it was just before Christmas and the Mail On Line showed Her Majesty the Queen dressed in coat and headscarf, looking like any ordinary 83-year old lady boarding a commuter train at Kings Cross - the [...]

The Episcopal Church In The USA Going Towards Demise

By Malgwyn | December 29, 2009

The Episcopal Church is winding down in America. Winding down in numbers: from 3.5 million in 1965 to 2 million today - “that’s a 43 percent drop from a year when the United States had about half as many people as it does today” - on the rolls that is. Attendance figures are considered to [...]

Dickens V Darwin

By Malgwyn | December 28, 2009

It is impossible to end 2009 without some mention of Darwin. Not that Dawkins will leave Darwin at his Bicentenary - but Chuck Colson ends 2009 tying two major publications by date - both published in 1859, Darwin’s ‘Origins’ and Dickens’ ‘Tale of Two Cities’. Both authors have a major interest in Thomas Malthus, Darwin [...]

The Two Sides To Christmas

By Malgwyn | December 26, 2009

First - there is this take on last minute shopping. Charles Wesley is said to have written over 6000 hymns - this humorous adaptation of one of his most well-known hymns might represent the reality of Christmas in our Western world.
Come, Thou Unexpected Jesus (with apologies to Charles Wesley)
Come, Thou unexpected Jesus,
Interrupt our spending spree.
Shopping [...]

Humanitarian Shames The Greedy Bankers

By Malgwyn | December 16, 2009

In my eyes he shames the greed of the bankers. Bankers have become notorious for the killing they have made out of the tax-payer. While small businesses have gone down the shoot and unemployment has soared and more families found their homes repossessed there is the cry to “look at the bankers, the bankers whose [...]

Doubts Over Darwinism Understandable

By Malgwyn | December 2, 2009

In keeping with long held Darwinian belief this evolution website  tells us that:
“Living birds are the most diverse land vertebrates and the heirs of a rich chapter in the evolution of life. The origin of modern birds from animals similar to Tyrannosaurus rex is among the most remarkable examples of an evolutionary transition. A wealth [...]

Christians Give Away 1000s of Darwin’s ‘Origins’

By Malgwyn | November 25, 2009

It had me curious - Christians giving away Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species‘? It’s true! Christians are actually giving thousands of Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species‘ away at 100 top Universities in the US. No, Christians haven’t become atheists after reading The God Delusion. This is a Christian evangelistic exercise for the ‘Origins’ 150th Anniversary called, [...]

Three Major Objections To Darwinism

By Malgwyn | November 25, 2009

In this paragraph from an article titled ‘Getting over our love for Darwin’  William Dembski  points out three major problems with Darwinism:
1. How did life come from non-life?
2. The Sudden Emergence of body plans in the Cambrian explosion  and
3. The nano-engineering that was not known to Darwin.
Says Dembski, “Intelligent design supporters like me view Darwin’s theory as [...]
