Ham has discovered that multitudes of people want to know the answers to key questions like, “Where did Cain get his wife? and “How could Noah fit all of those animals on the ark?” The Bible does have answers to tough questions such as these, so there’s no reason Christians can’t defend their faith against attack. On each page of the book, Ham takes a popular question and gives an answer that is both plausible and faith-strengthening. With a reputation as one of the world’s foremost authorities on the debate between creation and evolution, Ham provides many new insights in his latest work. SAMPLE QUESTIONS: Couldn’t there have been a race of people before Adam and Eve? If Adam lived 6,000 years ago, why do some say the earth is billions of years old?

In the fine tradition of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Yvonne Mason leads the reader through the twisted and tangled lives of Brianna Van Pelt and her son, Josh, thrusting us into a Pygmalion dilemma that has consumed scholars for decades. Is there such a thing as a bad seed, an individual whose feet are placed upon a path of crime and evil almost from the beginning? Thwarted by her parents' tough love, seventeen-year-old, single mother, Brianna, allows herself to be drawn into a new world glittering with easy money and false promises, accepting that proposition that no good girl ever should. With her young son, Josh, in tow, she dazzles with new prosperity, fulfilling the fantasies of not only her glorified pimp, Ken Morgan, but those of a judge and a host of depraved, desperate men in their wake. |

How old is the universe? Are the cosmos and the earth the same age? When did men first walk the earth? Are we the first sentient persons to walk the earth? What are the spiritual realities placed in the earth during the seven days of this present creation? This book provides unique insight into creation, God's original intent and the awful consequences of sin. |
| why do snakes crawl on their belly: How Snakes Work Harvey B. Lillywhite, 2014-01-31 Anyone can look at a snake and see a creature unique unto itself, a reptile with a set of zoological and biological traits that are entirely its own. Just looking at this distinct animal raises many scientific questions. With regard to evolution, how did such an animal come to be? How does a snake move, and how do its sense organs differ from that of other reptiles? How does it eat, and how does it reproduce? Essentially, how does a snake work? In How Snakes Work: The Structure, Function and Behavior of the World's Snakes, leading zoologist Harvey B. Lillywhite has written the definitive scientific guide to the functional biology of snakes. Written for both herpetologists and a more general audience with an interest in the field, How Snakes Work features nearly two hundred color images of various species of snakes, used to provide visual examples of biological features explained in the text. Chapter topics include the evolutionary history of the snake, feeding, locomotion, the structure and function of skin, circulation and respiration, sense organs, sound production, temperature and thermoregulation, and reproduction. Containing all the latest research and advances in our biological knowledge of the snake, How Snakes Work is an indispensable asset to professional zoologists and enthusiasts alike. |

| why do snakes crawl on their belly: Shake It Off Tommy Ray Banks, 2022-08-15 God Is Shaking Us Into Something Better! This book will teach you about God, Satan, yourself, the Bible, the church, sin, temptations, storms, and most importantly, how to shake it off. There are many sacred scriptures as well as reasonable explanations in every chapter. The whole point of this book is that we must shake it off. Turn that snake over to God and shake it off. In divine light of our comparative study in Acts 28:5, “And he shook off the beast into the fire and felt no harm.” It is evident in verse 5 that Paul looked up and saw that snake in his hand. Now, what do you do when the snake hangs on? (Peace! There is no need to panic!) You do like Paul and shake the snake off into the fire. When people go out of their way to hurt you, you must shake it off. You must, therefore, get closer, ever closer, to the greatness of Jesus Christ, the Savior of sinners, and allow him to guide you more, and ever deeper, into the mysteries of the gospel. You must be able to shake it off as a Christian. And allow your heart, therefore, to blossom in him. Every Christian should read this book. If you enjoy reading the Bible, you will love the shake it off. This inspirational book takes you on a lifelong journey of genuine change and phenomenal growth. I recommend this for any reader, young or old. The process of writing this book has been a pleasure, and I hope you enjoy reading it as well. |
| why do snakes crawl on their belly: Christianity Routed in 110 Pages by an Ordinary Man's Doubts William D. Hedges, 2012-04-24 The author analyzes belief in the Christian God and demonstrates how its defenses crumble with careful analysis. He points out that historically thousands of beliefs in deities have appeared, flourished, and faded away. Christianity, he claims, will be no exception. Fundamentalism is flourishing in the U.S., but history reveals that over time, man's intellect wins. Cases in point. Socrates had to drink poison because he would not recognize the Gods of the day. Galileo's victory over the Catholic Church. The demise of the Spanish Inquisition. |

Anyway, we're giving you twenty presentations from another twenty of us, but there's a lot more crammed in.

| why do snakes crawl on their belly: The Bible Now Richard Elliott Friedman, Shawna Dolansky, 2011-10-01 For millennia, people have used the Bible as a touchstone on important social and political questions, and rightly so. But many use the Bible simply as a weapon to wield against opponents in a variety of debates--without knowing what the Bible actually says about the issue in question. In The Bible Now, two respected biblical scholars, Richard Elliott Friedman and Shawna Dolansky, tell us carefully what the Hebrew Bible says or does not say about a wide range of issues--including homosexuality, abortion, women's status, capital punishment, and the environment. In fascinating passages that shed new light on some of today's most passionate disputes, the authors reveal how the Bible is frequently misunderstood, misquoted, mistranslated, and misused. For instance, those who quote the Bible in condemning homosexuality often cite the story of Sodom, and those who favor homosexuality point to David's lament over the death of Jonathan. But as the authors show, neither passage is clearly about homosexuality, and these texts do not offer solid footing on which to make an argument. Readers learn that female homosexuality is not prohibited--only male homosexuality. And on the subject of abortion, the Bible is practically silent, with one extraordinary exception. The Bible has inspired people to do great good but has also been used by people to do great harm, so it is vitally important for us to pay attention to it--and to get it right. The Bible Now shows us how we can--and cannot--use this ancient source of wisdom to address our most current and pressing issues. |

| why do snakes crawl on their belly: God Or Allah, Truth Or Bull? Richard Woo, 2011 Is there a perfect being? Is everything in the universe a creation of God, the so-called Intelligent Designer? Is there a providential divinity watching over the human drama and occasionally revealing information to us supernaturally? Writing about God and religious issues can attract adverse reactions from people, and one can never be sure of the kind of reception that may ensue even if one's arguments appear to be nothing less than logical. I hope this book will imbue in you a realization that there are no logical arguments for the existence of God or any god, apart from wishy-washy propositions that say little or nothing, and that no empirical evidence has ever been offered in support. Arguments must be decided on the basis of their being factual or non-factual, persuasive or unpersuasive, logical or illogical. Reason is a far more reliable or effective tool than a mountain of faith, especially if faith means adhering blindly to one's religious teachings or dogma. Arguably, whether life is meaningful, whether there is a purpose to the universe, or whether there is a paradise waiting for us after we are buried or cremated are questions that will have to rest with each individual. Thus, if there are any truths to be found in this book, it is for you, the reader, to decide. Before he retired, Richard Woo was in international banking. Today he lives in Singapore, and is an avid reader on topics concerning science, politics, and religion.

| why do snakes crawl on their belly: The Belly of Paris Émile Zola, 2007-11-08 'Respectable people... What bastards!' Unjustly deported to Devil's Island following Louis-Napoleon's coup-d'état in December 1851, Florent Quenu escapes and returns to Paris. He finds the city changed beyond recognition. The old Marché des Innocents has been knocked down as part of Haussmann's grand programme of urban reconstruction to make way for Les Halles, the spectacular new food markets. Disgusted by a bourgeois society whose devotion to food is inseparable from its devotion to the Government, Florent attempts an insurrection. Les Halles, apocalyptic and destructive, play an active role in Zola's picture of a world in which food and the injustice of society are inextricably linked. The Belly of Paris (Le Ventre de Paris) is the third volume in Zola's famous cycle of twenty novels, Les Rougon-Macquart. It introduces the painter Claude Lantier and in its satirical representation of the bourgeoisie and capitalism complements Zola's other great novels of social conflict and urban poverty. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more. |

| why do snakes crawl on their belly: The Bible Doesn't Say That Joel M. Hoffman, 2024-03-26 A “witty and accessible look at Scripture” that explores what the Bible meant before two millennia of mistranslations and misinterpretations (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In this fascinating book, acclaimed translator and biblical scholar Dr. Joel M. Hoffman walks the reader through dozens of mistranslations, misconceptions, and other misunderstandings about the Bible. In forty short, straightforward chapters, he covers morality, lifestyle, theology, and biblical imagery, including: The Bible doesn’t call homosexuality a sin, and doesn’t advocate for the one-man-one-woman model of the family that has been dubbed “biblical.” The Bible’s famous “beat their swords into plowshares” is matched by the militaristic “beat your plowshares into swords.” The often-cited New Testament quotation “God so loved the world” is a mistranslation, as are the titles “Son of Man” and “Son of God.” The Ten Commandments don’t prohibit killing or coveting. What does the Bible say about violence? About the Rapture? About keeping kosher? About marriage and divorce? Hoffman provides answers to all of these and more, succinctly explaining how so many pivotal biblical answers came to be misunderstood. |
| why do snakes crawl on their belly: Pharaoh's Magicians Gregory C. Benoit, 2011-05-31 The ancient heresy of Gnosticism has seeped into the church and is being taught in our most influential seminaries today. This can be seen most readily in the willingness-and even determination-of leading scholars and theologians to force the doctrines of evolution into the sacred text of the Scriptures. This book looks closely at the Bible to determine whether or not evolution can be endorsed by the Word of God. It then moves on to examine how today's theologians have played tricks with the text in order to seduce ordinary Christians into embracing Gnosticism. This book is a call to God's people to eradicate this heresy and return to an honest reading of the Bible.These 'higher critics' have castrated Christianity; they themselves are spiritual eunuchs, incapable of producing any spiritual seed with which to grow the church in the coming generations. They hope to bring some reconciliation between the teachings of modern science and the traditional teachings of Scripture, but instead they only serve to instill doubt in the ordinary Christian-doubt that an ordinary believer can ever again trust his own uneducated reading of the Bible. It is sad to think that William Tyndale was martyred for bringing the Bible to the common man, while modern theologians are being praised for taking it away again. |
