My latest video series: "Science and Christian Education"

ABDUCTED: No Intelligent Aliens Allowed
The third and final installment of my Intelligent Design parody is a spoof on the film EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. Last summer, Ben Stein (whom I respect as an economist and conservative thinker), took up the cause of Intelligent Design in the film EXPELLED.  Ok, fine.  But biology is not the only academic discipline with a vocal minority of dissenters.  And biology is not the only field of science with difficult questions that are more easily “answered” by appealing to “higher” powers of intelligent agency.  In the field of archaeology, there is a small minority of “scientists” who firmly

Radio Interview (Podcasts)
Last month I did a 2-hour telephone interview with a creationist radio show called “Sagadii Radio”.  In the weeks prior to this, the host of Sagadii Radio, Brock Lee, ran several episodes that were (not suprisingly) very critical of my “Science and Christian Education” series.  To his credit, Brock wrote to me and told me what he was doing.  We exchanged a few e-mails and then decided to do a couple of shows together.    Here are links to his radio monologues: Part I: Critical Analysis of Lessons 1-3

Help Wanted
The Intelligent Alien Intervention Institute is working a new project.  Except this time I — I mean “they” — need some help.  I need about 7 different people (male voices) to each record a few lines of audio.  At least 3 or 4 of these need to have “English” accents.  All you need to do this is a computer with a microphone — nothing fancy.  I can clean up the audio once I get it.  If you are interested, please send me an email at contact (at symbol) beyondthefirmament.com. Once I reach my quota, I’ll update this post.  Thanks!

Since I’m now somewhat affiliated with Biologos via the President’s Circle, I will probably be spending most of my blogging time over there — both as a guest contributor and as a commenter. The following is recent exchange between me and a fellow named Charlie, who I believe is an agnostic or an atheist, or perhaps a doubting Christian. At any rate, he asks some really good questions — questions that I think we all must be ready to answer honestly. Enjoy! Can you please explain your reasoning for differentiating between believing in UFO̵
