Review - Finding Darwin's God by Jeffrey Stueber Review of Kenneth Miller’s book, "Finding Darwin‘s God."
This book is a stern rebuke to the intelligent-design community, which is gaining headway among the educational establishment, fellow scientists, theologians, and many youth. Miller seeks to debunk I.D. and reaffirm naturalistic evolution while installing theistic evolution as God’s chosen method of creating.

Books Creationists Should Own -David Stove’s Darwinian Fairytales; article by Jeffrey Stueber
Stueber writes: Evolution by natural selection, Stove says, is a general theory that applies to all species including humans, and if it is not true of humans it is not true. Stove is also blunt in noting that if Darwin’s theory were true, the human race would never exist and does so only because, contrary to Darwinian belief, cooperation was always stronger than competition.

Review - Ben Stein's Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed Review by Jeffrey Stueber
I still find this movie useful, but it must be considered when bracketed with some of the more critical sites I mention above. What this movie also reveals is that evolutionists would be wise to not appear on camera in a movie that is willing to ask whether evolution is really true.

Critique of B.C. Johnson's Atheist Debater's Handbook. "While there will continue to be skeptical arguments against the possibility of divine design, this essay has shown that, despite the appeal to common sense, a large portion of skeptics' arguments simply have no logical appeal."

A Case Study: The Creationism of Hugh Ross and Reasons to Believe (hereafter, referred to as RTB).
This paper is meant to give the reader a broad overview of some of the more significant claims of Hugh Ross and RTB. As we proceed, the reader should understand that, due to space limitations of this paper, many details will be omitted. I intend to offer a distinctly confessional Lutheran assessment whenever applicable, as I believe that a distinctly confessional Lutheran approach is sorely lacking in the contemporary creationist movement. It is also my intent to strive, wherever possible, to keep Hugh Ross' purely scientific assertions separate from his theological assertions, or, in the very least, to make this distinction obvious to the reader. I realize that his theological position can and does influence many of his scientific conclusions. However, in order to make appropriate Scriptural application, the creationist must always be aware of that which has its foundation in Scripture and that which does not.
