Ode to the Admin: This One is For You!

8 December 2009 2 Comments

You want to read this post FIRST… it will all make sense!

If you have been a regular reader of Christian News New Zealand, when you see the subject matter of this post, deposited in the header, what may be presently obscured by the clouds of conceptual reality, will shortly be made clearer, which will allow you to catch some rays!  However, it may be dangerous to your unsanctified soul… if you feel me!

Nevertheless, this is both a tribute to the Admin, and a tribute to his posting content… as for style… to quote MC HAMMER… “Can’t touch this!”

Now, while such (this post) will be in our blog future, the conceptual world is ours for the blogging, calling for a Christian worldview to be-spectacle it!

By God’s grace, this will be our Missio Dei!

In Challies top 9 books of 2009, I noticed this book, which you should be noticing too…

By this Man… Dr Edgar Andrews.  Here is a Bio of the man…

Professor Edgar H. Andrews (BSc, PhD, DSc, FInstP, FIMMM, CEng, CPhys.) is Emeritus Professor of Materials at the University of London and an international expert on the science of large molecules. In 1967 he set up the Department of Materials at Queen Mary College, University of London, and served both as its Head and later as Dean of Engineering. He has published well over 100 scientific research papers and books, together with two Bible Commentaries and various works on science and religion and on theology. His book From Nothing to Nature has been translated into ten languages.
Edgar Andrews was an international consultant to the Dow Chemical Company (USA) for over thirty years and to the 3M Company (USA) for twenty years. He was a non-executive director of Denbyware PLC throughout the 1970s and for five years a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Neste Oy, the national oil company of Finland. He also acted for many years as an expert scientific witness in a variety of cases in the British High Court and in courts in USA and Canada.
In September 1972 he was one of four specially invited speakers at the dedication symposium of the Michigan Molecular Institute, two of the others being Nobel Laureates Paul Flory and Melvin Calvin.
At the Oxford Union ‘Huxley Memorial Debate’ in 1986 he debated with Richard Dawkins on the motion, ‘That the doctrine of creation is more valid than the theory of evolution’. (Recordings of the debate are available on the Internet).

Surely, this must be some conspiracy… a “qualified” Scientist and a Christian!

For those interested in the debate, the site indicated in the Bio, can be found HERE!

To read and digest details in regards to commendations, reviews, and even the blog, related to this title, with our very own acculturated Kiwi Joe Fleener, getting a shout out, follow the prompts… or you could just visit the site, WHO MADE GOD?, and find these details the old fashioned way.

You can also check Challies review out HERE, and find the book at Amazon HERE!

The Man of Spin has not read this book, but from what I can ascertain, he will be doing so, funds willing… he could even possibly review it then… Although Christmas is a-coming, and it is better to give than receive… where’s your Christmas spirit?

For all those who are presupposed as the Spin, this is a book that is worth purchasing, and for those who are on the dark side, Dawkins could well be wrong… shudder to think!… and you think our devotion to the God of the Word is whack!

Here’s looking at you Admin!

For the Fame of His Name
