Another post on the Ham Debate
I posted a couple of links to some Catholic blogs which discussed the Creationism debate a few days ago. I’ve pretty much concluded that I’m not going to have time to write my own, so here’s Trent with his analysis:
A compatible marriage?
I realized I missed yesterday’s Wise Words On Wednesday, so here you are:
The Creationism Debate
I haven’t had a chance to really dig into the debate between Bill Nye The Science Guy and Ken Ham The Creation Man. At work we’re busy doing some new software releases and in my free time I’m also busy trying to finish off my series about the March For Life.
So, in the absence of time, here are a couple of nice responses, the first from Strange Notions and the other from Bad Catholic:
March For Life Discussion: Better Communication
As I previously mentioned, over the next few days I’m going to be publishing some posts in response to a discussion which took place on my Facebook wall while I was at the March For Life in Washington DC.
Some of my friends had reacted negatively to the fact that I was at the March, while others defended my presence at the demonstration, as well as the pro-life position in general.
As I sat in Ronald Reagan Airport at 1am, catching up on this Facebook thread, it was clear that there had been a certain amount of miscommunication between my friends. Now, I think a certain amount of miscommunication is somewhat inevitable, but I would suggest that we can be proactive in ensuring the discussion is productive. This is the subject that I’d like to address in this post.
March For Life Discussion: Introduction
As my friends (and Twitter followers!) will know, I was in Washington DC last week for the March For Life. While I was there, I posted the following meme on this blog:
The blog entry in which the picture was posted was shared on Facebook and received a certain amount of negative feedback from some of my friends. A lively discussion ensued. Since I had quite a full itinerary while on the East Coast, I didn’t really have much time to monitor the conversation thread over the course of the week.
My final night in Washington DC concluded with an Audrey Assad concert and a night of swing dancing, after which my mate John dropped me off at Reagan Airport to catch my 6:30am flight home. Now with some time on my hands, I was able to review the Facebook discussion thread…
Coming a little late to the party, it was clear that some tempers were already frayed. Although I offered a few comments on the thread, I decided that it would be good to sit down and write a series of blog posts, addressing some of the features of the discussion and some of the issues which were raised.
I’ll be posting these posts over the next few days…
