The Institute for Creation Research has a number of magazines, the most famous of which is the monthly newsletter Acts & Facts, which is often featured on the ICR’s front page. Here’s a brief summary of this month’s edition.
At present, the May edition is on their Acts and Facts homepage. For future reference this edition can be found in pdf form here.
It’s been a while, I know. I haven’t gotten around to tackling the ICR’s newsletter for some months now. A half-finished draft of a post on the January edition sits reproachfully on my wordpress dashboard, untouched since New Year’s Eve. I plan to finish it someday, but for now here’s May’s edition, in a slightly different format – I’m back to fiddling with multiple pages to try to make these behemoths a little more manageable. Click the links below, or go through page-by-page using the numbers at the bottom of each page.
- When God Says ‘Good’
- Genesis and the Character of God
- Events
- Mechanisms of Adaptation in Biology: Genetic Diversity
- Staying on Track Despite Deceptive Distractions
- Tracking those Incredible Hypercanes
- Flat Gaps Between Strata
- An Amazing Tract Record
- Four Scientific Reasons That Refute Evolution
- The Speed of Light Revisited
- Letters to the Editor
- Honor and Remembrance
- SOBA Student Profile: Lucien Tuinstra
…or you could just click here to begin, I suppose. Don’t forget to tell me if I mucked up any formatting, or should have done something differently.
I’m enjoying this post. I particularly like your discussion on page 3. The fact is that, as you say, “good isn’t the same thing as perfect.” Too often, YECs hold that “very good” means the universe had been made as some kind of cosmic playground for humans. I don’t see this in the text at all. The theology of YEC is very skewed in that they hold God’s purposes are all about making things great and wonderful for us. It’s very anthropocentric, and it doesn’t seem to reflect Biblical teaching.
