The NEW BLOG

“Our life planning ought to be about the next trillion years, and beyond. If we assume that what’s waiting for us beyond the grave is a postlude rather than a mission and an adventure, we will cling tenaciously to the status quo, or at least the parts of it we like. . . . Our lives now are shaping us and preparing us for a future rule. Our lives now are an internship for the eschaton.” (Russell Moore in Onward)

Evolution and Creation

Evolution and/or Creation has generated so much of discussion. Whether we like or not the controversy is likely to continue for some more time. Textbooks on Biology are filled with ideas undergirded by the theory of evolution. Christians take on the issue has been diverse. Some see evolution as opposed to the teaching of the Bible underscored in Genesis 1-2. Others see it differently. Young Earth Creationists interpret the Genesis text ‘literally’, and concluded that God created the heavens and the earth some 6,000 to 10,000 years back. Ministries like Answers in Genesis, Creation Ministries International and Creation Science Research etc are proponents of this view. For them theory of evolution is not true and it “propagates an anti-biblical religion”. ( Refuting Evolution , Jonathan Sarfati). Others like Phillip Johnson, William Dembski, Michael Behe, Lee Strobel et al have a different take. Intelligent Design movement’s, perhaps, most able proponent Phillip Johnson in his cha...

Symposium on Darwinism

North Delhi EGF in collaboration with Kingdom International (KI) North and Union Evangelical Fellowship (UEF) is organising a talk on Darwin’s Bicentennial Birth Anniversary & 150th Year of The Origin of Species On Thursday, 12th Feb 2009 At 2099, UEF Centre, Outram Lines North Campus Time 3:45pm Abstract No other person in history has generated as much controversy as Charles Darwin. This year, February 12 marks the 200th birth anniversary of this enigmatic man, and 150th year of The Origin of Species. To many, Darwin provokes two extreme emotions which often feed each other. Either he is a notorious charlatan and the chief disciple of Lucifer out to deceive the faithfuls. Or at the far end, atheist fundamentalists like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and others proclaim with dogmatic certainty that Darwin’s work has obviated any place for God, thereby making it possible for the first time to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist. Outside of narrow academic circles, ignorance abou...

Female Foeticide and Christmas

Several e-mails received during the last few days began with the sentence - “Christmas is round the corner”. Indeed it is - at this time, year after year! But over a 100 million girl babies world-wide never got a chance to turn that corner. Foeticides, infanticides, newborn neglect and abandonment deprived them of their lives. Over 80% of these babies were from China and India [1] . The British medical journal Lancet estimated that 10 million female babies were aborted in the last 2 decades in our country. It also reported that pre-natal sex selection causes the loss of 500,000 girls each year in India. While reports of violence and murder would make for uncomfortable reading, do these mass murders of girls over the last few decades make us shrink and squirm with horror and shame? It is only fitting that at Christmas time when we celebrate the birth of a child who grew to be our Savior, we take time to consider the fate of millions of girl babies and the loss to the world by their un...
