This blog is about the open mind. You will find many articles here exploring religious faith and you will find science. Part of accepting an open mind is to push back against extremism.

Ken Ham, founder of the creationist ministry Answers in Genesis;

I challenge the evolutionists to admit the belief aspects of their particular worldview.

Bill Nye;

Ken Ham;

The battle is really about authority. It’s about who is the authority, man or God
