I’ve split a previous post in order to more clearly present: 1. The goal of evolution (see at this site the post Evolution isn’t a salvation issue, and that’s the gospel truth!), and 2. What some in the American education apparatus consider to be a primary goal of the sciences.

Here are a couple of quotes from an article written by Tania Lombrozo and published June 29, 2015, at https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2015/06/29/418289762/don-t-believe-in-evolution-try-thinking-harder (the National … Continue reading Your kids don’t believe in evolution?

John 3:16 We see it in many places and at sundry times. It’s often in view during televised sporting events. It was once pretty much always seen during football games, when one team was trying a field goal or an extra point. Folks seemed to be able to get that JOHN 3:16 sign in the seats right there between the uprights.
