This NEVER happened!

By Credo Quia Absurdum

Christadelphians and fond of quoting bible passages in discussion and then metaphorically standing back as though that trumps all other arguments.

Believing where we cannot prove."

Letters to the editor/Change of direction/More news

1. Our 'slight change of direction' post was accidentally deleted and I have been too busy lately to replace it. The new policy is to appeal to a somewhat wider audience than merely the Christadelphian young people.

Pearce, having shown that he is grossly uninformed on the evidence for large-scale evolutionary change in the fossil record, then proceeds to invoke yet another creationist argument, the 'living fossil' as disproof of evolution:

One of the most readily-refuted creationist claims is the absence of transitional fossils.

Who are the real fools?

By Credo Quia Absurdum

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God”- Was famous error in the opening of Psalm 14 in a 1763 printing of the KJV – the printers were fined a huge (for the time) £3000 and all copies were destroyed.

Special Feature: I Want to Break Free - By our new writer T.F.

Editor's Note: I've been trying to get this guy to write for us for years and at last he has agreed. It is my pleasure to introduce one of my very best friends and someone for whom I have the greatest respect: T.F.

BY T.F.

This website brings me more pleasure .... and painful memories...than I can put in words. I just read that awesome and heart wrenching post by Sam and his process of his de-conversion. It's heart-wrenching and jaw dropping at the same time, because of course I lived through the same thing myself.

'Asyncritus' (we all know who he is) challenges Ken Gilmore

By Asyncritus

Editor's Note: The Ken-Cat won't answer this challenge and in a way I don't blame him. But we can answer Asyncritus in the comments below. If we do, it will put a smile on the face of the Ken-Cat and he will think to himself "I taught them well; all the work I put into ECACP was not in vain."

Thoughts from another young deconverted Christadelphian

By Sam

Editor's Note: Sam is our latest young Christadelphian deconvert. We need to protect his confidentiality from relatives in the Christadelphians; so we cannot reveal his true identity, ecclesia or country of residence. But we can assure you that he is a young, baptised Christadelphian.

Are you recovering from the Australian Christadelphian Conference?

After all the nonsense; after all the cult jargon and cult inspired thinking; after all the anti-science and illogical discourses; after being divorced from reality and common sense for a week at Wesley and Monash; here are three Sam Harris videos to help visitors to the Christadelphian Australian Conference get their brains working sensibly again.

Evolutionary Creationism: A Guide for the Perplexed (Parts 1 - 3) - By Ken Gilmore

Editor's Note: Another article by the Ken-Cat. I don't agree with much of what he has written and Ken does not agree with much of what I write. He is a Theist and I am not. But for those Christadelphians who want to reconcile science with the Bible and keep their Theism; this is undoubtedly the route to go.

"The Amazing Spider" - Bro David Pearce (UK)

"This PowerPoint presentation shows that the complexity of life on earth cannot be satisfactorily explained without God's involvement. Only Divine wisdom could have put together the Garden Spider and the Human Ear. Ideal for young people studying biology at school or university."
