Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptation is everything. Inge Lohmark is well aware of that; after all, she's been teaching biology for more than thirty years. But nothing will change the fact that her school is going to be closed in four years: in this dwindling town in the eastern German countryside, there are fewer and fewer children. Inge's husband, who was a cattle inseminator before the reunification, is now breeding ostriches. Their daughter, Claudia, emigrated to the U.S. years ago and has no intention of having children. Everyone is resisting the course of nature the Inge teaches every day in class. When Inge finds herself experiencing intense feelings for a 9th-grade girl, her biologically determined worldview is shaken. And in increasingly outlandish ways, she tries to save what can no longer be saved.

Download or read book Helping Our Children Grow in Faith written by Robert J. Keeley and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children have serious faith questions that require serious answers, answers that adults often find themselves under-prepared to give. But the Christian community has a responsibility to help its children develop a three-dimensional faith--a faith that affects their heads, their hearts, and their spirits. Helping Our Children Grow in Faith is designed for children's ministry and worship leaders, Sunday school teachers, and pastors--as well as parents--who want to nurture the spiritual development of the children in their lives. It shows how to integrate children into congregational worship, how to teach them the Bible but leave room for the mystery of God, and how to distinguish the difference between faith development and moral development.
Download or read book From Monkeys to Men and Back written by Alvin Allison and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-04-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a giraffe can evolve a longer neck by stretching, what might yawning do to us humans? Disgruntled at the teaching of evolution? Then stop awhile and laugh at it. Consider evolution's supposed magical wand, natural selection. According to theory, natural selection can take a fish fin and turn it into a frog leg. It can take a lizard and suit it up with a pair of wings. It can take a monkey and make a man out of it. The question is though, since natural selection can supposedly move a monkey into a cave by destroying its incredible climbing abilities, what might natural selection end up doing to some of us humans? No doubt, scientists have made many startling discoveries concerning the human anatomy in recent years, discoveries scientists themselves don't understand. Could these mysterious discoveries hold the answers to what the future holds for the human race? Find out what these discoveries are, and draw your own conclusions. This book offers a humorous and yes, sometimes downright silly, yet informative view of the evolution theory, a theory that can't explain even the most basic questions, such as how lifeless matter came to life. As you ponder through its pages, be enlightened by scientific facts, scientific evidence, quotes from some of the world's leading scientists as well as many thought-provoking points provided by an ex chicken farmer who never paid a minutes attention in science class, yet has surely found the very reason evolution could never have happened.

Download or read book The Evolution Delusion written by Kenneth Lawrence and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEBUNKING THE "EVIDENCE" BEHIND THE EVOLUTIONIST WORLDVIEW: Throughout the last half of the twentieth century, and now into the new millennium, the public has been fed a steady diet of anti-Biblical propaganda by an increasingly determined cadre of evolutionist scientists, educators and media outlets. The result of this concerted effort has been a shifting of public consciousness away from Biblical truth and into a new paradigm in which belief in some form of Darwinian evolution has become a Litmus test of acceptability in our society. But is this paradigm shift founded on legitimate scientific evidence? The answer to this question is a resounding NO. Over the last several decades, scientists in widely varied disciplines have refuted much of the "evidence" behind today's various competing evolution theories. The time has finally come to expose evolution for what it is: delusion. Kenneth Lawrence was born in British Columbia, Canada, where he currently resides. He has had an intense interest in science most of his life. A believer in Darwinian evolution for many years, Ken became a Christian at the age of twenty-three, but had difficulty accepting a straightforward reading of the Bible's account of origins for many years. In his late forties, Ken began to seriously investigate the scientific claims of evolution theory. Nearly a decade of personal research has resulted in an invigorated faith in the God of the Bible and in the writing of this book.
