The idea behind the technique is to recognize the history of the object and to visibly incorporate the repair into the new piece instead of disguising it. The process results in a restored pot that is more beautiful than the original.

  • Apologetic Resources
    APOLOGETIC RESOURCES A Young Earth ministry perspective, namely contrasting Scripture to true science now and during the ages. By Dr. Jim Pagels [email protected] 9/2016 Editor Dr. John Fricke, Emeritus Professor of Biology, Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Copyright This book is offered as an educational resource on a no cost basis. Contents are not to be reproduced for the purpose of sale. Note that all Scriptural passages are taken from the English Standard Version. 1 I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN THE TRUTH III JOHN 1:4 Forward - Although there is much young Earth information available from commercial sources and on the internet, it was the impression of this writer that no resource that deals with basic topical issues correlating the young Earth philosophy and science exists for professional church workers. To this end, Apologetic Resources is being offered. Intended Audience – The intended audience of this reference material is primarily use by professional church workers, i.e., teachers, pastors, youth workers, etc., namely those who choose to uphold the literal interpretation of Genesis and the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. The focus in this regard is Young Earth Creationism and the catastrophic nature of the global Genesis Flood keeping in mind that Genesis 1-11 is foundational to most of the significant doctrines of Holy Scripture. Of course, laymen may well also find this reference a valuable resource. There is obviously a realistic interplay between Scripture, apologetics and true science. The goal of this document is to provide clarity to this interaction.

  • Analysis and Synopsis Resources Ray Comfort Has Written a Lengthy Introduction to His Edition of Darwin's Origin of Species
    NAVIGATION Analysis and synopsis Resources Ray Comfort has written a lengthy introduction to his edition of Darwin's Origin of Species. This Video introduction is partly lifted from other sources, partly Comfort's own musings on Darwin's life and Analysis of the legacy, and partly Comfort's evangelism. Introduction Virtually every page contains scientific and historical errors. List of Schools Comfort repeats hackneyed creationist claims: a lack of fossils with transitional forms (false), the Bibliography & Links complexity of DNA requiring a creator (false), the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics somehow making evolution impossible (false). Comfort offers no fresh ideas, and simply parrots standard creationist CONTACT talking points, all long-ago debunked by sites such as TalkOrigins.org. [email protected] Comfort attacks Darwin personally, assailing what he believes to be Darwin's racism and [email protected] misogyny. Comfort even goes so far as to say that Darwin's most "famous student" was Adolf 1-800-290-6006 Hitler. Comfort does not provide meaningful evidence for such outrageous claims, only a few out- of-context quotes in a limp effort to tarnish Darwin. Comfort's use of attacks that are both ad hominem and insupportable exposes him as someone willing to bear false witness in order to promote his agenda. Comfort dwells upon Darwin's religious beliefs, as if these beliefs were the key to evolution rather than the scientific evidence Darwin marshaled. It isn't surprising, then, to find that religion is at the heart of Comfort's own agenda. Because Comfort is unable to make meaningful attacks on evolution on the basis of the scientific evidence, he turns to non-scientific arguments.

  • Evolution Vs. God Companion Guide | 1 Despite Their Distinctions, All Are Horses
    COMPANION GUIDE, PART 1 Ray Comfort In Part 1 of this Companion Guide, designed to be used with “Evolution vs. God,” the purpose is to give you more information about the common claims of evolutionists. It will help you know how to counter those claims and give you greater confidence in addressing this vital issue. Much of this information has been adapted from How to Know God Exists: Scientific Proof of God, which you may want to read for further study. “When you’re talking about kinds or change in families, you’re actually talking about macroevolution.” Evolutionists typically cite examples of natural selection and claim that they’re evidence of evolution. But natural selection, or adaptation, is simply variations within a kind and has nothing to do with Darwinian evolution. Though it’s sometimes known as microevolution, the fact is that nothing actually evolves during “microevolution.” For example, look at the variety within the dog family, or kind— from the tiny Chihuahua to the huge Great Dane. They have incredible differences, but they are still dogs. Within the horse kind are the donkey, zebra, draft horse, and the dwarf pony. www.livingwaters.com Evolution vs. God Companion Guide | 1 Despite their distinctions, all are horses. There are huge variations within humankind, from Asian to African to Aboriginal to Caucasian. But we are all within the same species, Homo sapiens. Darwin’s theory of evolution, however, is based on the concept of macroevolution. This is the inference that small variations within a kind can accumulate and lead to large changes over long periods of time.

This dissertation examines the use of Gospel tracts in the construction of evangelical identity. Often overlooked as mere ephemera, tracts can be used as windows into the lived religious behavior of ordinary Evangelicals. While nominally tools of outreach, the efficacy of tract distribution is often called into question.

  • Exposed: the Scientific Impossibility of Evolution 'Nothing Created Everything' a Surefire Way to Debunk Atheism
    Exposed: The scientific impossibility of evolution 'Nothing Created Everything' a surefire way to debunk atheism Posted: September 20, 2009 7:07 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily What is it about a California-based Christian evangelist from New Zealand that makes him irresistible to even the most sophisticated secularist? "You sir, are a fool who could not lie straight in bed. It is beneath me to even address you," wrote an online respondent to Ray Comfort's weblog Friday, "but I was passing by and saw this tripe, I could not constrain myself." The lively interaction on his Atheist Central blog with scores of atheists and agnostics of all kinds – from young students to decorated scientists – has given Comfort unusual insight into the skeptical mind and led him to conclude atheism rests on a remarkably illogical and unscientific premise that became the title of his latest book, "Nothing Created Everything." "I found over the last year, when I said an atheist is someone who believes nothing created everything, they go berserk and say, 'We don't believe that,'" said Comfort, co-host of "The Way of the Master" television show with actor Kirk Cameron and the head of Bellflower, Calif.-based Living Waters ministry. But Comfort insists atheists clearly believe nothing created everything. "All you have to do," Comfort told WND, "is push them into a corner and say, 'So, you're an atheist?' 'Yep.' 'So you believe that nothing created everything, a scientific impossibility?' And they'll say, 'Well, no.' 'So you believe something created everything?' And they say, 'Well, yeah.

Scopes (1925, at a banquet in NY prior to the “Scopes Monkey Trial”) “As we know, there is a great divergence of opinion among biologists … because the evidence is unsatisfactory and does not permit any certain conclusion. It is therefore right and proper to draw the attention of the non-scientific public to the disagreements about evolution. But some recent remarks of evolutionists show that they think this unreasonable.

  • Andrew Sparrow
    University of Otago Irrationality, Misinformation and the Role of Science Education in Science Communication. Andrew Sparrow A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Communication Centre of Science Communication, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand Date: July 2017 Abstract Human beings, as a species, are capable of both incredible scientific and technical achievements, but also of deep scientific denial. In late 2012 while the Curiosity rover descended from a “sky crane”, to make a soft landing on the surface of mars (NASA. 2012). many people were preparing for the end of the world, which they believed to have been predicted by the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar (Hoopes 2011). This thesis aims to determine the factors contributing to the establishment and persistence of irrational beliefs, and attempts to identify a means of response through science education. Humans find patterns in random noise, ascribe agents, intentions and emotions to completely natural phenomena, and overestimate their control over random chance. When our beliefs are challenged we become uncomfortable considering that we may be wrong, as such a possibility clashes with our ideal perception of ourselves. Subsequently we are convinced by arguments that agree with our preconceptions, even if they are illogical. This is a major obstacle to the communication of accurate scientific information. A series of workshops, comprising two 50-minute sessions, were held to assess the benefit of specific education to communicating the rationale of the principles of science. The workshops were held for two classes of a primary school (P1a, P1b), and two high schools classes (H1, H2).

  • The Banana and American Atheists, Inc
    Banana Man.qxd 4/3/2017 10:20 AM Page 11 CHAPTER 1 THE BANANA AND AMERICAN ATHEISTS, INC. “For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” —1 CORINTHIANS 16:9 ould you have the courage to face me in a debate in W front of 250 atheists at our national convention?” These were the words of Ron Barrier, the national spokes- person for American Atheists, Inc. It was February 2001. A week or so earlier, I had been sitting in my office when I had an idea. I had written a book on atheism, published a booklet called “The Atheist Test” that had sold close to a million copies, and spoken on the subject of atheism hundreds of times. I figured that might qualify me to speak to American Atheists, Inc. So I sent them an email stating the above and asking if they would consider me as a guest speaker, but leaving out the fact that I was a Christian author and preacher. My thought was that 11 Banana Man.qxd 4/3/2017 10:20 AM Page 12 BANANA MAN if God could open the Red Sea, He could easily open atheist doors. They respectfully declined my offer. But then I began getting emails from Ron Barrier. It was rather strange. He didn’t want me to speak to atheists, but he wanted to start a dialogue with me. In retrospect, it was possibly God putting thoughts into his atheist mind. We emailed back and forth a few times before he suddenly chal- lenged me to a debate at their annual convention in April.

  • Biblical Worldview Development While Learning Origins Science
    BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW DEVELOPMENT WHILE LEARNING ORIGINS SCIENCE by Charleton Dean King Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University 2020 2 BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW DEVELOPMENT WHILE LEARNING ORIGINS SCIENCE by Charleton Dean King A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA 2020 APPROVED BY: David Vacchi, Ph.D., Committee Chair James Fyock, Ed.D., Committee Member 3 ABSTRACT The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenology was to understand the lived experience of how homeschooled high school students integrate origins science into a biblical worldview. For this study, biblical worldview development is the process of faith development in either form or content through an individual’s understanding and application of the Bible. The theoretical framework guiding this study is Fowler’s faith development theory as it relates an individual’s physical, mental, and moral growth to the development of their worldview. This study sought to answer the following research question: how do homeschooled high school students integrate origins science into a biblical worldview? Participants were selected from homeschooled families from across the United States. Data collection included free word association documents, semi-structured interviews, and a focus group. The result of this study is a model for biblical worldview development that explains the lived experience of homeschoolers integrating origins science into a biblical worldview through the components of preparation, education, determination, and reflection. Parents significantly influence the components of the resulting model, causing participants to develop their worldview according to that of their parents.
