The Atheist Blogger

Dear Fans Of Atheist Blogger,

As Adrian has let you know, he’s on holiday and has asked  S. A. Alenthony and myself to guest blog in his absence.   A little background on myself before I get started, my name is Samantha, twenty-something from Chicago anywhere.  I’m a self-described avid reader, critical thinker, and video game addict. I like meeting creative people who have strong opinions of their own. Sometimes I visit museums, occasionally find myself on the internet, and I found my doppelganger when I wasn’t ever trying.

My doppelganger and I have very much in common, we even share the same name, we only differ in two ways – he’s a he and he believes in Jesus.  For us to have so much in common and only have it divided by such a harsh difference seemed to be a terrible shame.  I am (and as is he) very open to each other’s points of views and continue to challenge each other in new and exciting ways.  This time, he takes the cake.

About a month ago, I thought that maybe my doppelganger was not informed as well as he could have been since he had a different background from mine, so I took him to the Field Museum of Natural History.  Where else is such a brief time could someone absorb the knowledge they did not possess?

Sam vs. Sam

“Which of us is the evil twin?” my doppelganger began to ponder after our visit to the museum.  He thought, “What if I send her my beliefs and my understanding to her?  Sam, why isn’t my side taught in public schools.”

“Tell educators, publishers, museums, and the media to educate themselves and stop perpetuating misinformation and bad science.”

You would have thought that last statement was something that I said, but it’s actually In The Beginning (Compelling Evidence  for Creation and the Flood) by Walt Brown, Ph.D. preface, sent curiosity of my doppelganger.  You can see it on Amazon as well.

Now, as I begin to read this book, the introduction mentions the book contains three parts:  Part I – The Scientific Case for Creation, Part II – Foundations of the Great Deep, Part III Frequently Asked Questions.

This will be the first section of my project and during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th I will take an unbiased approach to what the book is suggesting during it’s three separate parts and finally during my 5th and last section of this guest blog spot, I will critique and use your critiques from comments you posted on the book’s message.

Please keep in mind when referencing this book it refers to it’s intended reader to be anyone interested in the subject in the origin of life.  The ultimate goal of this book, as from reading the introduction, is to educate public school teachers.

A challenge had begun.  The first challenge being, even though I am an accomplished reader, how I was going to swallow over 400 pages of creationism.  It’s a lot easier when one-sentence epitaphs are yelled from across the internet at you, but 400 pages of my undivided attention, this was going to be a big one.

Wish me luck, a sample of the next post, here is the first diagram on the first page of chapter one.
