There is a revival of syncretism in the modern approach to religion that not only dashes to pieces the real and historical claims of biblical Christianity (and of other historical faiths) by relativizing them, but also presupposes an absolute, divine perspective on truth for the syncretist.

Living things can be classified into nested categories, like mammals and vertebrates. Do these categories mean certain groups share the same evolutionary ancestors? Textbooks say so. To see whether that’s true, let’s think biblically and critically about the idea of evolutionary “family trees.” 

Was Noah’s Flood local just a local flood, and does it really matter what we believe about it? Find out why Noah’s Flood being a global flood is key to the gospel message!

Most living things share the same genetic code. Does that mean they also share the same ancestor(s)? Textbooks often say so.

Let’s see how to view the not-so-universal genetic code through a biblical lens.
