Original Article: ABC.COm Will Bill Nye deliver the ultimate science smackdown to creationists? Ken Ham, founder of Kentucky's Creation Museum, wrote on his blog that the bow-tied television personality and staunch evolutionist would square off with him in a Feb. 4 debate. "This debate will help highlight the fact that so many young people are dismissing the Bible because of evolution, and even many young people who had grown up in the church decided to leave the church because they saw evolution as showing the Bible could not be trusted," Ham said. An email inquiry to Nye's assistant was not immediately returned. The museum had been hoping to attract Nye after the star said in a Youtube video that teaching creationism was bad for children. "I say to the grown-ups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them," Nye said in the video, which has amassed nearly 6 million views. The event, which is titled "Is Creation a Viable Model of Origins?" will be held at the Petersburg, Ky., museum's Legacy Hall. Tickets for the two-and-a-half hour debate cost $25, and will go on sale Jan. 6, according to the museum's website.

Original Article: CHRISTIAN NEWS by Barry Burch Jr. JANUARY 2, 2014 Walking on water is not easy. Not too many people have the ability. Let’s see, there’s Jesus, and well, that’s about it. Unfortunately for one pastor on the West Coast of Africa, his attempt to become the second man to make this impossible feat a reality cost him his life. Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation that he was capable of reenacting the very miracles of Jesus Christ. He decided to make it clear through way of demonstration on Gabon’s beach in the capital city of Libreville. By Matt Pearce
Original Article: LA Times Some traumas end up borne privately, but this was not one of them.

By William Rameau, Original Article: BREATHEcast The son of legendary Christian Televangelist Bill Graham, Franklin sternly reprimanded his fellow Christian community for inadequately displaying support for Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson and for not defending Robertson's values expressed in comments that brought about in his short-term suspension. "I appreciate the Robertson family's strong commitment to biblical principles and their refusal to back down under intense media pressure over Phil Robertson's comments in a recent interview. As the Robertson controversy winds down-at least for now-I have been amazed at how many churches have apparently 'ducked' out on the issue (sin). Some were even quick to condemn Phil Robertson," Graham said on the Billy Graham Organization website.
