4 In 10 Americans Still Hold Creationist Views

Science on MSNBC posted an article last week citing a recent Gallup poll on Americans’ views of creation versus evolution. Gallup found that 40% of Americans believe God created humans about 10,000 years ago. An additional 38% believe that God used evolution, a model called “theistic evolution”. And only 16% believe that humans evolved over millions of years without any divine intervention.

Encouraging because there is a significant amount of people out there who accept a recent Creation as told in Genesis.

When Bible Reading Gets Boring

Bible ReadingI’ve always had a hard time when trying to read through the Bible comletely. I come across so many stretches of Scripture that seem so tedius. These passages seem, well… boring. Why in the world would God allow that to remain in the Word? What possible benefit could that have for my life today, in 2009?

My approach has been varied over the years. There have been times when my bull-headed nature took control and I simply plowed through the passages and kept going by sheer will-power. Other times, I’ve taken a more circuitous approach and broken those boring passages into more manageable chunks and scattered them throughout my reading schedule. Sure I missed out on some context, but I got them all read…
