Dawkins Dodges Stephen Meyer on Design Debate

By Malgwyn | October 26, 2009

After my last post, Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Bicentenary, I called at my local Waterstones but was surprised to be advised it would be easier and quicker to get Signature in the Cell through Amazon. Just surprised to be told that. Post free, and cheaper too it seems!
But I see that Dawkins might have [...]

“Signature in the Cell” & Darwin’s Bicentenary

By Malgwyn | October 15, 2009

Back to Richard Dawkins - he has a definite dislike of anything different from his view of origins.
It’s a few years since I read Darwin’s Black Box  - a fascinating read. I didn’t think anything could be more convincing on Intelligent Design - but seems Stephen Meyer  has stepped up the pressure in the Darwinian/Intelligent Design [...]

Matthew Parris OTT Over St Teresa’s Bones

By Malgwyn | September 23, 2009

Why was Matthew Parris so OTT over St Teresa’s bones? Why the call to atheists (or militant atheists) for all out war on religion? Having read Matthew Parris quite a bit over the years I know he is as well read in the Bible and Christian teaching as most, even if one does not agree [...]

Saint Teresa’s Bones & An Angry Matthew Parris

By Malgwyn | September 22, 2009

“For pity’s sake, closet atheists of Britain, come out! Don’t “respect” this credulous folly! Don’t let the madnesses of these faith minorities go by default! Stop our politicians kowtowing to nutters! Cease the embarrassed muttering about being “don’t knows” on religion, and shout it out. We do know! It isn’t true! All that is necessary [...]

Ida: The David Attenborough Hoax

By Malgwyn | September 15, 2009

I remember watching David Attenborough’s BBC1 “Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor: The Link,” back in May. As one who has enjoyed Attenborough’s nature programmes I wondered then would it do his ‘street cred’ any good to get involved in the Origin’s debate this way? True, he is a convinced evolutionist and has no time for the opposing [...]

Atheism’s In Trouble

By Malgwyn | August 26, 2009

“Atheism is in trouble. You can tell because its most eloquent spokesmen are receiving icily critical reviews in the very mainstream press that Christians often dismiss for liberal bias.”
“You can also tell that atheism is in trouble because it is becoming increasingly intolerant.”
“The New Intolerance. Fear mongering among elite atheists is not a pretty site,” [...]

The Power of Christianity: Colson’s Hero

By Malgwyn | August 25, 2009

Chuck Colson reminded his audience yesterday that it was William Wilberforce’s 250th birthday. Converted to Christianity Wilberforce thought his “change of heart” experience should lead him to leave Parliament but says Colson, “Thankfully, William Pitt, who went on to be Great Britain’s youngest prime minister, convinced him otherwise. In a letter to his dear friend, [...]

Jesus’ Murder Squad!

By Malgwyn | August 16, 2009

I’ve been reading some bad news about what is happening to Christians in Iran  in the wake of the current political unrest. “Pressure on Iranian Christians is growing just as foreign powers are being blamed for rioting that broke out due to the electoral fraud. The argument on the influence of foreign powers is well [...]

Richard Dawkins & The Christian Family

By Malgwyn | August 4, 2009

It’s very difficult to let go of Dawkins after reading The God Delusion. Perhaps I never will. It is not just that he is such a persuasive writer who is so anti towards Christian ideals but is so anti towards Christian parenting - they are accused of child-abuse for teaching their children Christian ideals. I [...]

Dawkins & Superstition III

By Malgwyn | July 31, 2009

A Resume of Martin Luther’s Change of Heart and How We are Put Right With God
In my immediate previous posts one and two I responded to Professor Dawkins’ view of what he understands as ‘a personal experience with God’ (TGD, p. 87-92), with my own contrary views. Here I will finish with my view [...]
