Christian Faith and Reason Poll on Evolution

Take the Christian Faith and Reason poll on the evolution by clicking here.

The results of the poll so far are:


Poll Question:

Which of the following schools of thought on evolution and creation best represents your view ?


71 % say Atheistic evolution, in which the earth is 4.5 billion years old, man evolved over millions of years, and God played no part in any of it.


21% say Theistic evolution, in which the earth is 4.5 billion years old, man evolved over millions of years, and God played a part in it.


6% say Intelligent design, in which the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and all species, including man, developed over time in a process that suggests the involvement of an intelligent agent, which may or may not be God.


0% say Old Earth Creationism, in which the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and man was created by God fully formed within the last 50,000 years.


3% say Young Earth Creationism, in which God created the universe, earth, man, and dinosaurs during a one week period 6,000 years ago.


0% say I don't know

A busy game plan for July

Here's the game plan for July. It's all very exciting but, as they say, "A lot to say grace over" !

Look for a second edition of Letter to an Atheist to be published August 1 by Harpeth River Press. This second edition will add new chapters on the rise of Militant Atheism, overviews and critiques of the arguments of well known atheists Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, and a very important and quite possibly controversial chapter titled "How Christian Anti-Intellectualism is Helping Militant Atheism to Grow".

Those of you have purchased the first edition will be able to obtain copies of the second edition at half the retail price, so stay tuned !

Also look for 25,000 copies of the August edition of Christian Faith and Reason magazine to be available at bookstores, coffee shops, and grocery stores throughout the Nashville, Tennessee market during the first week of August. For those of you living outside of Nashville, a national edition of Christian Faith and Reason magazine should be available in most markets by October 1.

And finally, though there is no specific plan for a publication date yet, the third draft of Fort Desperate, my novel of the Civil War set in Louisiana, should be finished by September 1. A recent visit to Fort Desperate itself in the Louisiana State Historical Site at Port Hudson helped provide some needed inspiration to move that project along !
