In this under 3 minute audio clip, Randy talks about the need for Christians to be salt and light in the world, to both restrain sin and reach people for Christ.
At last—a way to be Christian and popular at the same time. By protecting the environment, you can do good and still be politically correct.
Randy Alcorn talks about the Creation of Man and the lavishness of Eden. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class, available at http://www.epm.org/store/product/eternity-101/
I wrote this dialogue a few years ago for my book Deadline, but it was nonessential, so I removed it, and it's never been published until now. I hope some readers will find the interaction between these two men stimulating and useful.

Yes, it just seems so difficult to find other positions in the text without importing them.

In the article “Ten Major Flaws of Evolution” you argue that “spontaneous generation” and “chemical evolution” are one in the same, however is DNA not made of the same basic “non-living” elements such as oxygen and phospherous, that you claim could not have “evolved” into living material? How can you state that macro-evolution does not exist, when you have also stated that micro-evolution does exist and has been observed? Would the first not be directly related to the latter?
You asked about the relationship of “micro-evolution” to “macro-evolution.” As you may be aware, there are several different competing evolutionary models ...
