The Skeptical Review 1992 (Volume Three, Number One) http://freethought.tamu.edu/mag/sr/1992/1/ Silence in Fantasyland According to Till, "The silence of men like Archer and Jackson when they are offered publishing space to defend their belief in inerrancy only deepns our suspicion that they know enough to realize their position cannot survive close public scrutiny." A Case in Point Dr. Robert H. Countess, who attended the International Council on Biblical Inerrnacy (ICBI), discusses a single case in point that will explain why he could not conscientously sign a document that proclaimed total inerrancy in all matters of the Bible. Sons of God: Just the Godly Lineage of Seth? Another article about the "sons of God/ daughters of men" myth refered to in Genesis 6:1-4. Did They Tarry in the City? Did Jesus meet the disciples in Galilee after his resurrection? Farrell Till writes that "this meeting in Galilee poses tremendous credibility problems." What Happened to the Resurrected Saints? Concludes Ed Babinski, "those of us who doubt the story of the many raised saints see in it a reflection of the kind of blind faith that made the story of Jesus' resurrection catch on in the first place." Non-Profit Status _The Skeptical Review_ has been recognized by the IRS as a non-profit organization. Second Deaver-Till Debate Cancelled Till received a letter from Mac Deaver stating that "I no longer have any interest in debating you in the near future."

Because "the Bible is their meal ticket." Impossible for God to Lie? Inerrantists often quote the Bible and then add that "God cannot lie." However, Till argues that "in many places, the Bible teaches that God not only can but does on occassion lie." Impossible for God to Lie? An Answer In response to Till, Michael Hughes writes "These passages do not prove that God is a liar; rather they prove that man has a choice, that God in His wisdom has allowed that choice regardless of the consequences." A Very Great City Jonah 3:3 implies that Nineveh was 60 miles across. However, Dave Matson argues that archaeological evidence shows it was not more than 3 miles across. The Resurrection Maze If the four gospel authors were divinely inspired, writes Till, "there would be no maze of inconsistencies in the juxtaposition of their stories."

Sarah's Power to Conceive "Living in a time when people believed that females emitted semen during sexual intercourse, the author of Hebrews wrote in ... [Hebrews 11:11] something that he thought was a scientific fact. As it turned out, he was swrong. He made a mistake, so he couldn't possibly have been writing under the direction of an omniscient, omnipotent deity." Sarah's "Power" to Conceive: A Response Bill Lockwood responds to the above article. Squeezing Fifty Years Into Twenty More About the Resurrected Saints Ed Babinski's article, "What Happened to the Resurrected Saints?" generated several rebuttals. Farrell Till responds to reader criticisms of Babinski's article. Did They or Didn't They? After the women supposedly saw the empty tomb, did they tell anyone what they saw or didn't they? "That's the problem that inerrantists must resolve."

But what they don't understand is that the exposure of error inherently leaves a superior alternative in its wake-- namely, truth. Why I Believe in the Inerrancy of the Scriptures Dave Miller defends the doctrine of biblical inerrancy. Bible Inerrancy: A Belief Without Evidence Farrell Till's rebuttal to Dave Miller's defense of biblical inerrancy. A Typically Inadequate Response Farrell Till critiques Bill Lockwood's attempt to resolve the problem of Sarah's alleged power to make "a deposit of semen" in Hebrews 11:11. Sarah's Power to Conceive: A Response (II) Bill Lockwood's attempt to rebut Farrell Till's article, "A Typically Inadequate Response." Our Own Effort One attempt to win Ralph Nielsen's thousand dollar prize by reconciling the resurrection accounts ends in defeat.
