This series of papers is designed to give a positive apologetic to Christians whereby they can defend their faith and accept modern science at the same time. The papers are described below.
#1: Genesis 1: A Historical and Scientific Reading ISBN 0-9648227-4-1 $6 postpaid
Quote: "It
is time for a new interpretation. Something that embraces observational
knowledge, learning and discovery while preserving the historicity and reality
of the Scripture. For over 200 years Christianity has been stuck in the same
groove; it is time to change tracks."
"One final word on the methodology used.
Much effort has been expended trying to understand the original intent of
the Biblical authors. If this were a humanly written book, then such an
understanding is central. But, if the Bible is, as I believe, an inspired work of God
written to all humans of all ages (including our age), then it must contain
truth for all people of all ages." (p. 1)
This pamphlet presents a new way of interpreting Scripture such that the Bible can be interpreted historically.

#2:The Invisible Pink Unicorn: Why Atheism is an Unsatisfying Affair ISBN 0-9648227-5-X $6 postpaid
Quote: "On the internet, starting in the early 1990s, atheists started a spoof of God called the Invisible Pink Unicorn.2 The parody relies on the paradoxical fact that the unicorn is both pink and invisible. If it is invisible, how does one know it is pink? To be pink requires the reflection of a certain spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, which is not possible if one is invisible. But other problems arise with the invisible pink unicorn, if the creature is invisible, how do you know it is a unicorn? How do you know it exists?" (p. 1)

#3: Paley’s Stone: The Universe Designed for ManQuote: "Do we see design? I believe we do. We see it in the anthropic principle which works because in most universes we could not exist. We also see it in the symmetries of the laws of Nature, and in the need for a cause for the universe—nothingness gives rise to nothing—as we discussed in Pathway Paper 1."
This paper present defendable arguments for design which have been used in debates with atheists and found quite effective. But this is not the normal approach to finding design in the universe

#4: The Origin of Language ISBN 0-9648227-7-6
$6 postpaidQuote: "Only mankind possesses a language, which does appear to be a magical talent. Ideas in one’s head can be transmitted to another. This fact was not lost on the writers of the Bible who explained that God taught man to speak by bringing all the animals to him to be named. This process shows a deep insight into the nature of language but at the same time, if one thinks about it, it shows how difficult it is for language to form. " (p. 1)
This paper discusses the evidence for an original language among humanity, when it was as well as showing how unique our language is compared with animal communication.

#5: Who Was Adam? 2 volumes ISBN 0-9648227-8-4 (2 volumes) $12 postpaid
"...Scripture does not
require a recent Adam. Adam can be
old if the marks of Adam are. The five marks of Adam, language, religion, pain
in childbirth, sweat of the brow, and clothing are found hundreds of thousands
of years ago. The same is said about the items invented by Adam’s immediate
descendants.
Available now this paper discusses issues arising from modern paleoanthropology to the question of Adam's existence and who he was.
