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

There's a Living In It
Why can't fundamentalist preachers simply admit that the Bible
is not inerrant? 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?"

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."

Truth Is Its Own Excuse for Being
Many readers have written to say that we have a duty to offer
our readers a better alternative than belief in the divine
inspiration of the Bible. But what they don't understand is
that the exposure of error inherently leaves a superior
alternative in its wake-- namely, truth.
