Three days ago, I posted about an article titled “Life on Earth triggered by meteorites 4.6 billion years ago: study.” I pointing out that the study in no way justified the headline, and I made the comment that it was quite common for evolutionists publish articles with headlines that lead an unsuspecting public to believe that further support for the theory …
Did Meteors trigger Life on Earth?
© 2023, by John Tors. All Rights Reserved. On Friday, an article titled “Life on Earth triggered by meteorites 4.6 billion years ago: study” was posted on MSN.com[1]. One wonders what sort of study this was and how it could look back 4.6 billion years to determine what had happened back then. Let’s see. According to the article, “Life on Earth was triggered by blazing fireballs from the outer …
WHAT WAS THE COLOUR OF THE ROBE PUT ON JESUS? An Easy Solution to an Alleged Contradiction
© 2022, by John Tors. All Rights Reserved. The Problem In Matthew 27:27-28, we read, 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole cohort around Him. 28 And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. On the other hand, in John 19 we read, 1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of …
CORRECTING BART EHRMAN ON HARMONIZATION: A Risible Objection Refuted
© 2022, by John Tors. All Rights Reserved. Introduction Dr. Bart Ehrman is a former evangelical who turned agnostic[1] and now spends his time trying to debunk the truth of Christianity.

Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has written or edited thirty-three books and is a soi-disant “world-renowned New Testament expert.”[2] He is considered to be one of the …
BEFORE A ROOSTER CROWS ONCE OR TWICE? A Seemingly Intractable Contradiction in the Gospel Accounts Solved
© 2022, by John Tors. All Rights Reserved. The Problem One of the seemingly most intractable apparent contradictions in the Gospel books concerns Jesus’ foretelling, at the last supper, Peter’s denial of Him. All four Gospel books include this. Matthew records the following: 31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, …
ANSWERING OBJECTIONS FROM AN ATHEIST
© 2021, by John Tors. All Rights Reserved. Introduction There are two problems with atheism. First, it is impossible, as logic and the laws of science show[1]. Second, it precludes any objective meaning to life (and objective values), beyond personal preferences. The latter problem does not, of course, disprove atheism, but the former does. We addressed problems with atheism in our “Atheism and the Meaning of Life” podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPTRID8ak94 and …

SHOULD CHRISTIANS “EMPTY THEIR MINDS” THROUGH MEDITATION?
Many Christians who teach meditation as an element of “spiritual formation” insist that this has nothing to do with emptying the mind. But in fact, when one concentrates on or repeats a phrase, such as a line of Scripture, over and over again without rational thought, the brain tends to go into “neutral”. This is not meditation as it is meant in the Bible, which involves rational, logical cogitation with critical thinking.

THE INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE: An Explanation and a Response to Creation Ministries International’s Problematic View
Creation Ministries International’s article “The inspiration of Scripture comes in various forms” contains problematic errors, including slavish adherence to the Masoretic text, uncritical acceptance of the claim that the Gospel books are of the bioi genre (an idea being used to destroy Biblical inerrancy), and the claim that the Pentateuch is the “final form” updated by multiple editors.
IS CREATIONISM NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN? Exposing the Muddled Thinking of Bill Nye “the Science Guy”
Bill Nye, the mechanical engineer and well known host of the 1990s Disney/PBS educational show “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” is an ardent advocate of the theory of evolution. On August 23, a video was posted on YouTube titled “Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate for Children.” It was designed to persuade people to stop teaching creationism to children and embrace evolution, yet for the thinking individual the video simply exposed the muddled thinking of Darwin’s disciples[1]. The purpose of this article is not to “reinvent the wheel” by again arguing the …
DID JESUS ERR ABOUT THE SIZE OF MUSTARD SEEDS? A Case Study in How to Do Serious Evangelical Apologetics
In Mark 4:31, Jesus apparently makes a scientific error by asserting that the mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds. But in the original Greek, He did not say that. He said that a mustard seed, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on the ground, not smaller than all seeds on earth.
DO APPARITIONS OF MARY UNDERMINE THE CASE FOR JESUS’ RESURRECTION? Debunking Hector Avalos’ “Living Laboratory”
Avalos tells us that he is “always looking for good living examples from around the world of phenomena that apologists for the resurrection deem to be not credible or comparable” and believes he has found such an example in the “Marian apparitions” from Medjugorje.
