Ernest Hemingway
“All cowardice comes from not truly loving, or at least, not loving well.”
Ernest Hemingway

John H. Walton
“If we follow the sense of the literature and its ideas of creation, we find that people in the ancient Near East did not think of creation in terms of making material things—instead, everything is function oriented. The gods are beginning their own operations and are making all of the elements of the cosmos operational. Creation thus constituted bringing order to the cosmos from an originally nonfunctional condition. It is from this reading of the literature that we may deduce a functional ontology in the ancient world—that is, that they offer accounts of functional origins rather than accounts of material origins.”
John H. Walton, The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate

John H. Walton
“It seems to many that they have to make a choice: either believe the Bible and hold to a young earth, or abandon the Bible because of the persuasiveness of the case for an old earth. The good news is that we do not have to make such a choice. The Bible does not call for a young earth. Biblical faith need not be abandoned if one concludes from the scientific evidence that the earth is old.”
John H. Walton, The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate

John Bunyan
“The man that takes up religion for the world will throw away religion for the world.”
John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress

John H. Walton
“Since all people are in the image of God, all deserve to be treated with the dignity the image affords.”
John H. Walton, Genesis
