Questions and Responses

Question: [composite of several]: You object to the idea that there was any death, even of animals, prior to Adam's sin. Death passed upon all men. Animals aren't mentioned and certainly don't sin. What would preclude animals from dying prior to the fall?

Question: How can you say that Adam wasn't with Eve (TBC Extra, 1/09) during the temptation?

Question: John Piper, in a discussion on creation, tries to draw a distinction between the creation of man, which was recent, and the universe, which could be much older....What do you think?

Question: I love TBC. It keeps me informed on the issues that the fundamentalist sect of Christianity is concerned with....I'm an "informed atheist"...I'm just as knowledgeable about the Bible, its god and related subjects as either Dave or T. A....

Question: What will be your main [debate] points in opposing atheism/humanism?

Question: Christopher Hitchens says that the magnificent, irreducible complexity of the human eye is not evidence for a Creator but cites "the ineptitude of its 'design'" as proof for evolution....

Question: Do you believe the Bible teaches traducianism or creationism, i.e., does God create a new spirit for each person at the time of conception, or is Adam’s spirit the only one that God created out of nothing?

Question: ... In October '02 you state, “A rebellion led by Lucifer eons ago had taken place....” It almost sounds like you hold to some form of the “gap theory.” [A]re you implying a special creation of the angels at a different time and place...?

Question: Is it a worthwhile pursuit for a simple Christian with the Bible and a high school diploma even to try to stand against [an] educated atheist [like Richard Dawkins]?

Question: Do you know anything about groups called “gene-testing services?” Apparently they have convinced many to believe they come from monkeys.
