“For the [Satan Hypothesis] to work, Satan and his demons must freely alter the physical realm using their own intrinsic powers supplied at their creative inception. In other words, they must be able to ‘push’ physical things around, without requiring God’s direct authority and supernatural power.” - Ken Coulson
An “illustration of this is the difference between light and darkness. Light actually exists. There are waves and particles; there is such a thing as light, but there is no such thing as darkness. Darkness is simply a lack of light.” - Ligonier
“…the god of evolution is an ogre who used a wasteful, brutal process to create life and the universe! At least Schneider is honest about what the evolutionary story means for theology (though, of course, he goes on to invent a way to explain evolution and a loving God).” - Ken Ham
“as I will demonstrate, all young earth creationist scientists incorporate, and this is really important, modified evolutionary ideas, even if its ever so slight, into their creationist frameworks, and AiG is no exception.” - Ken Coulson
“In the same way we struggled to assemble Christmas toys, evolutionary biologists have struggled to piece together a clear picture of life in one of its earliest forms—LUCA (life’s universal common ancestor).” - Reasons to Believe
“the Big Bang never tells us where it all comes from. If you want to know how the Universe was actually created, you need something else, something more.” - Big Think
“Coulson is offering a new mature creation apologetic that basically says that God has only ever used ‘natural’ processes to create, but during creation week he sped up those processes.” - AiG
“The expansion of the universe is not chaotic; it is extraordinarily fine-tuned. Decades ago, Robert Dicke… calculated that for physical life to be possible in the universe, the cosmic expansion rate must be fine-tuned to within one part in 1055” - Reasons to Believe
“Dr. Anne Bradley recently presented the first of two webinar sessions in a series called ‘The Christian Economic Model,’ … Her talk kicked off a two-part series exploring what scripture says about economics.” - IFWE
