Dr. Ben Carson on Rejecting Darwinian Evolution
Yes, the same Ben Carson who recently delivered a message at the National Prayer Breakfast. In this 10-minute interview with David Boze, he explains why he rejects Darwinian evolution.
I think one of the most damning pieces of evidence against evolution is the human genome. You can see that you have very complex, sophisticated coding mechanisms for different amino acids, and various sequences that give you millions of different genetic instructions — very much like computer programming, which uses a series of zeros and ones in different sequences, but gives you very specific information about what that computer is to do.

Top 10 Reasons our Youth Leave Church
A significant percentage of 18-29 year olds once raised in the church are no longer attending one. The social forces which once brought transitioning adults back to the church (e.g., marriage, child-raising) are being delayed, sometimes indefinitely. Moreover, our culture, as a whole, is less religious. For example, an Oct 2012 Pew survey shows those claiming “no religion” jumped from ~15% to ~20% from 2007-2012. Among 18-29 year olds, it’s one out of three (32%).
Yet somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of such young adults were raised in religious homes. At least temporarily, the church seems to be losing its youth in droves. I’ve recently read two excellent books on this phenomenon, Generation Ex-Christian and You Lost Me. Each is well written and rich in content and analysis.

Does it matter that abortion ends a human life?
In Chapter 3 of Saving Leonardo, Nancy Pearcey anticipates the change in rhetoric on display from pro-abortion advocates: Namely, an acknowledgement that, biologically, life does begin at conception. They’ve had to admit this given the advancement of ultrasound technology which lets us see inside the womb.
How, then, to justify abortion? Either deny that life = personhood (and define personhood as having certain mental capacities), or simply say that some lives are more important than others. The latter strikes me as a more honest representation of those who support abortion rights. John Piper writes:
