  • March 24, 2011. The Happy Housewife - where Martha meets real life blog. Ken Ham Uninvited from the Great Homeschool Conventions.
    "If you have ever heard Ken Ham speak you know that he attacks ideas and world views. I can’t remember ever hearing him attack someone personally, and I’ve heard him speak numerous times. I have also never heard him question the salvation of another believer. I will say that Mr. Ham is relentless in his attacks on opposing views and passionate about what he believes is a biblical worldview. Anyone who has heard him speak, read his books, or visited his website knows this about him because he is unwavering in his positions."
    "What is interesting about this is that the homeschool curriculum superiority mindset is prevalent throughout all speakers. You’ll hear lapbook speakers criticizing workbook methods. You’ll hear the bread makers criticizing those who chose a different diet. Those who promote a classical education will criticize the effectiveness of other methods. There are even those who criticize athletics, extra curricular activities and college. The homeschool community and conventions are filled with people who disagree and comment on the methods of other homeschoolers."
  • March 24, 2011. WAVE-TV, Channel 3, NBC. Louisville, Kentucky. USA. Creation Museum founder uninvited from convention via Associated Press.
    The organizers of Great Homeschool Conventions also banned Answers In Genesis founder Ken Ham from future conventions. They say Ham was critical of Peter Enns of the BioLogos Foundation, a Christian group that seeks to find common ground with scientific findings, like evolution. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that Ham said in a recent blog post that Enns' teachings undermine "the authority of the Word of God."
  • March 24, 2011. Lexington Herald-Courier. Lexington, Kentucky. USA. Convention disinvites Ark park promoter by Linda B. Blackford. Pages A3 & A5.
  • March 24, 2011. Bellingham Herald. Bellingham, Washington. USA. Creation Museum's founder banned from convention by Linda B. Blackford, Lexington Herald-Leader.
    "At issue are criticisms by Ham of Peter Enns of the Biologos Foundation, who has said the fall of Adam and Eve can be construed as a symbolic story of Israel's beginnings, rather than a literal description of human beginnings."
  • March 24, 2011. Faith & Works - Kentucky's and Indiana's diverse religious scene blog. Sponsored by Louisville Courier-Journal. Ham-homeschooling dispute by Peter Smith.
    "Ham shot back that the convention organization has hosted speakers that question literal interpretations of the Bible and write for BioLogos, a Web site that promotes Christian acceptance of scientific conclusions such as evolution. (In the past year, BioLogos writers have repeatedly sparred with Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler, who maintains that the Bible trumps the consensus of scientists. And BioLogos’ publicizing of a comment by prominent evangelical biblical scholar Bruce Waltke, showing an openness to evolution, cost Waltke his job as a professor at Reformed Theological Seminary)"
  • March 24, 2011. World News.com. Creation Museum's founder banned from convention by Linda B. Blackford, Lexington Herald-Leader.
    "Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis gives his first broadcast interview to Worldview Weekend Radio concerning his being kicked out of speaking for two homeschool conferences. This is a perfect example of what Brannon has been warning about and is writing about in his forth coming book, Religious Trojan Horse. Christian leaders will increasingly face opposition from Christian leaders and organizations when they stand for the Word of God without compromise."
  • March 24, 2011. AliveInSpirit blog. Emotional earthquake: thoughts on recent homeschool convention vs Ken Ham/AIG situation by Barbara.
    "Recently I was astonished to find out that Ken Ham and AIG were dis-invited to speak and be in the vendor hall for Midwest Homeschool Convention based on what Mr. Ham said concerning another speaker/vendor’s homeschool curriculum. I will not go into it much here as to whether or not there was any blame on either parties but to ponder what this means to me. Mainly because there seems to be more to the situation than is what has been presented by the convention people as well as perhaps Mr Ham. I do not know because I was not there and can only read what was made public. The convention folks are not giving out much info or facts. It is difficult to say what issues they had concerning Mr Ham since they just made a generalized statement which I could not see backed up by anything specific being brought forward by them. Honestly the way it was left makes it look more favorably toward Mr Ham and AIG so I am declining to make any firm judgment in the manner. I mainly wanted to state the situation exists between the two or perhaps the three parties seeing how Dr. Enns and his curriculum were a part of the equation. I used this info to set up what I wanted to say in the following sentences."
  • March 23, 2011. DefendingGenesis.org blog. Is Christianity Once More on the Down-Grade? Answering a Critic Concerning Ken Ham’s Expulsion from Great Homeschool Conventions by Rev. Tony Breeden.
    "Brother Joel is at it again. He’s written a post concerning Great Homeschool Convention, Inc.’s erroneous decision to ban Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis from ALL future homeschool conventions [wow. that's... overkill]. Brother Joel, an extraBiblical Creationist, has a habit of taking an occasional potshot at Ken Ham and yours truly. In this case, the title of his blog post is simply libelous: Ken Ham Removed from Homeschool Convention for UnChristian Behavior."
  • March 23, 2011. Around the World with Ken Ham blog. Is AiG Unloving? by Ken Ham.
  • March 21, 2011. Wretched with Todd Friel. Audio podcast of Ken Ham vs Peter Enns controversy. No literal Adam or fall by Todd Friel.
  • March 20, 2011. Around the World with Ken Ham blog. Beware by Ken Ham.
  • January 2011. Acts & Facts. Dallas, Texas. USA. Monthly magazine from the Institute for Creation Research. Confronting Evolutionary Ideas by Lawrence E. Ford.
    "Additionally, BioLogos is conducting workshops for Christian school science teachers in order to train them how to teach evolution to their students—to supposedly harmonize the Bible and Darwinian evolution in the classroom. They are also developing evolution-based science curriculum for use in homeschools and Christian schools. One of the BioLogos teachers, Dr. Peter Enns, is even developing a Bible story curriculum for children! Anticipated to release in February, this material is being published by homeschool guru Susan Wise Bauer. Parents, beware! BioLogos is also leading and participating in Christian conferences to influence pastors and other Christian leaders with the message that the Bible and evolution are compatible."
  •  ???, 2010. Well Trained Mind. Peace Hill Press website. Religion books.
  • September 9, 2010. Creation Ministries International. Powder Springs, Georgia. USA. A response to Timothy Keller’s ‘Creation, Evolution and Christian Laypeople’ by Lisa Cosner.
    "While Keller is prepared to accept that Genesis 1 is not to be taken literally, and that God could have used evolution, he admits that he is concerned about the problems of reconciling evolution and a historical Adam. He recognizes that key New Testament authors and passages take Adam and the Fall as historical, e.g. Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15; Paul “most definitely wanted to teach us that Adam and Eve were real historical figures” (p. 9). This is at least better than his Biologos comrade Peter Enns who claimed that Paul was just wrong. Indeed, the section where he is explaining the importance of a historical Adam and a historical Fall is the best part of his paper, and we would agree with a lot of that section."
  • September 7, 2010. Creation Ministries International. Powder Springs, Georgia. USA. Evolutionary syncretism: a critique of Biologos by Lita Cosner.
    "BioLogos’s view of Scripture is probably best summed up by this quote from a paper by professing evangelical contributor Peter Enns,: “Most Christians understand that, even though the Bible assumes a certain way of looking at the cosmos, from a scientific point of view the Bible is wrong. And that is perfectly fine [emphases his].” Enns had previously left (or was dismissed from) Westminster Theological Seminary over his book Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament which attacked biblical inerrancy..."
    "And the people at BioLogos are very aware that it is not just Genesis 1–11 that is at stake. “For Paul, Adam certainly seems to be the first person created from dust, and Eve was formed from him.” I.e. creationists have been right all along about what the New Testament teaches about Genesis. But “[i]gnoring the scientific and archaeological evidence is not an option” in their mind, so Paul was simply wrong. In fact, Enns says that rejecting Christianity is a more viable option than taking the Bible’s account of creation at face value! He says that a true synthesis of Christianity and science “calls for a reorientation of what informed readers of the Bible expect from Genesis or Paul on the question of origins.”"
