The following has been excerpted from my book (which you can order here). I have a feeling that the majority of Christians who believe the world to be millions of years old don’t know what Charles Lyell, the man who popularized the belief that the earth is millions of
2,000 years ago, the Son of God was rejected by the sheep of the house of Israel and crucified outside of Jerusalem. Crouched beneath the spears and arrows of Rome, His followers weren’t hidden away in darkness for very long: Three days later, the stone was rolled away
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15; emphasis added). As a younger Christian, I can still vividly remember

Many people are aware of what the earliest Christians contributed to the field of theology, but fewer know that these men faced ideologies and philosophies that would sound very familiar to modern ears. Though Charles Darwin (1809-1882) popularized the idea that human beings evolved from ape-like ancestors, it’s important
When you hear the word unicorn, you probably think of a little girl's best friend: A white horse galloping on a rainbow (decked out with pink and purple sparkles). If we put that image aside and take a look at the 1828th edition Webster's Dictionary, however,
If you crack open a 1946 edition Webster's Dictionary and look up the word dragon, you'll be met with two words: "Now Rare." That's the first definition listed, too. About fifty years before that edition was published, an article released by the
