I tend to read in cycles. No not while riding my bike. Ok actually when I'm on the stationary bike I do read, but that isn't the point. I also don't read in generally less or more so much as I read different genres and subsets of books in cycles. A while back I was reading a lot of SciFi, and then technical books and Pastoral, and then I went through a suspense/mystery binge. Right now I'm reading Apologetic books.

I owe you an Apology
This is an Apologetic series, that is to say it is a rational defense of my believe system.

You may certainly choose to read in any order you so choose, but you may find yourself confused, or even believe that I have no adequately supported my position. I welcome comments, but do ask that you try to keep an open mind, avoiding coarse generalizations, and I do strongly encourage civil, as opposed to useless and heated bashing, name calling, or other derisive comments. Please enjoy.

I Owe You an Apology: Creation of Live V. Spontaneous Generation
In the last part of the "I Owe You an Apology" series, The Creator Revealed, I followed a series of logical arguments to demonstrate that the Creator must be One and must have several characteristics ascribed to the God of the Bible. Before that I allowed Science and Logic to show that the Universe must have been created by a specific type of being. Today I want to focus on the Origin of Life. Of course this whole discussion is a bit of a moot point given the evidence for a Creator, but it is interesting to note the blind faith of atheistic scientists in excluding the possibility of a … [Read more...]
