CreationOnTheWeb has fascinating and useful information to help Christians defend their faith (1 Peter 3:15) and refute anti-Christian arguments (2 Corinthians 10:4–5). For example:

Christians should engage the culture, not withdraw from it

This might mean changing popular ‘Christianese’, so Christians, planning your next retreat? How about an advance instead? This is a wake-up call comparing how many in the church have failed to recognize the tactics of leading anti-Christians, which have already moved from marginalization and ridicule to overt persecution.

In some churches, the retreat from the atheistic advance has also affected core teachings. While many claim that Genesis is a ‘side issue’, conceding the Bible’s history to atheists has emboldened attacks on the absolutely indispensible doctrines of Christianity. See The naturalist attack on the Virginal Conception and Resurrection.

But strangely enough, some of the retreat stems from Loving the Bible too much. How can a Bible-believing Christian love the Bible too much? When this love is misplaced so the Bible is protected from even the possibility that history might prove it wrong. But the Christian faith is based on real history, so it is folly to separate the Bible from the real world. This desire to make the Bible unfalsifiable is also behind the objection to our stand that intelligent alien life is incompatible with Scripture. See this feedback.

However, sometimes Christians wanting to engage the culture use logically fallacious arguments. For example, scientists recently discovered the pygmy possum can hibernate for a year, but this can’t be used to claim that all the Ark animals hibernated for a year. In any case, it is not necessary—see Hibernation, Migration and the Ark. It is encouraging that Arguments we think creationists should NOT use is the 8th most read page on our site.
