The same argument was reiterated by Paul in Romans: “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse��? (KJV, Romans 1:20). Pierce’s "Neglected Argument" stands as a challenge to any living philosopher or scientist who would like to do away with the need for God. What must be explained is the miraculous comprehensibility of the world of experience.

Therein Pierce insisted, "The endless variety in the world has not been created by law. It is not of the nature of uniformity to originate variation, nor of law to beget circumstance. When we gaze upon the multifariousness of nature we are looking straight into the face of a "living spontaneity."

How many of you high school and college students can find in your textbooks, shown as proof of evolution, series of pictures or photos of advancing stages of human and other mammals as they develop before birth?

Darwin said that embryological evidence was "second to none in importance." The idea that higher life forms go through the previous evolutionary chain before birth was popularized by Ernst Haeckel in 1866. It was later found that Haeckel forged the diagrams which he used as evidence for this theory.

Remember those textbook pictures of an ancient bird, with a mouthful of teeth, strange, arm-like, hooked wings, perched on a high branch, able only to glide to the next branch? It has been asserted that this bird, called the Archaeopteryx, shares 21 characteristics with dinosaurs. Research on various anatomical features of Archaeopteryx in the last ten years or so, however, has shown, in every case, that the characteristic in question is bird-like, not reptile-like.

In Psalm 19, David proclaims that the Heavens declare, are telling the glory of God and the work of His hands, and that their testimony, incessant day after day and night after night, inaudibly utters articulate speech and shows, a universal language, speaking to all the world.

In the context of the Psalm we also see a contrasting but connected structure, speaking first of the heavens, and second of the scriptures. Psalm 19 is not just describing the mere wonder of the heavens, but is also telling us that the heavens contain a revelation from God.

But another interesting body of proof lies outside of the New Testament itself… that of what we call the Apostolic Fathers. The term “Apostolic Fathers��? refers to church leaders that lived during, or right after the original apostles. Many of these knew and were disciples of the Apostles.

Jesus did not rise from the dead. The canonical Gospels are late and cannot be trusted.

These claims meander along the lines of the centuries-old heresy inferring that the Biblical Jesus differs from the historical Jesus. Really, the logical question is this:  Is The New Testament Historical?
