Questioning science, i.e. evolution as fact, and its right to rule our lives …

… and a look at education in Texas on the fundamental level.

“Evolution is a proven fact. There are mounds of scientific evidence supporting it. Just ask anyone who is an educated intellectual.” This is my paraphrase of the multitudes of articles and comments I’ve read in the past discussing the clash between Evolution and Creationism and whether or not Intelligent Design should be taught in schools. To lend credibility to the predictability of secular beliefs on this matter, I’m going to go find any recent article posted on the topic and look through it. I’ll be right back . . .

. . .Ok, I’m back. I searched Google News for “Intelligent Design in schools” and clicked on this article from the University of Houston’s college newspaper, The Daily Cougar. The title reads Intelligent design has no place in Texas classrooms^[1]. 

Here are some of the article's points taken verbatim:

Poll: Evangelical Millennials Support Homosexual Issues

A survey released towards the end of August by the Public Religion Research Institute revealed that 44 percent of white evangelical Millennials favor same-sex marriage, compared to only 12 percent of evangelical seniors and 19 percent of evangelicals overall.

See the findings here: http://www.citizenlink.com/2011/08/31/poll-evangelical-millennials-support-homosexual-issues/

This is a tough issue in the sense that so many are struggling to have a CORRECT biblical view on homosexuality. Though it's clear from scripture that it's a devastating sin, Millennials (my generation) have bought into the liberal, progressive, secularized implications of ideas like "tolerance" and "to each his own", etc. They've also bought the concept hook, line and sinker that a person's religion is their personal business only, a matter of individual preference. These things coupled with widespread downplaying of the accuracy and authority of the bible have left Millennials with a mismatched roadmap for life and a broken navigational compass.

We need to be exhorted to fully examine the theology or ideologies that currently dictate our lifestyles, not for the sake of making everything relative (like the apparent agenda of Rob Bell), but rather to expose the holes in our theology and the infiltration of secularism - perhaps unbeknownst to us - in order to adhere solely to the comprehensive and absolute truth of scripture.

Resuming a talk on the issues

It’s been a while since I’ve written on this blog, over a year in fact. It’s also been a while since I’ve been dedicated to writing in general. After beating around the bush in the face of serious writer’s block for what seems like an eternity to me, I’m back in the game of writing. And I plan to stay back in the game.

I’ve also spent too much time just deliberating over whether or not I should start a new blog to kick off writing again. Or if I should stick with an old blog but register it under a new domain. In short, I’ve been splitting hairs over things like what to name my blog and it’s ridiculous because it just keeps contributing to my dumb writer’s block. So I decided to stop puttering around and just take off.

I’ll be writing here for the time being, about whatever issues and topics I find compelling and worth discussing. I may update my other blog from time to time but it will not happen very frequently. I’m ready to shift my focus from stories of my so-called “adventures” to the daily cultural war and fight against misleading ideologies and half-truths.

May the mystery of the gospel and the truth of the scriptures be my guiding light.
