“Creation Is Distinct from God Yet Always Dependent on God so Materialism, Pantheism, Dualism, Deism is not true”
― systematic theology

“these texts are so explicit that it would be very difficult for
someone to hold to the complete truthfulness of Scripture and still hold that human
beings are the result of a long evolutionary process. This is because when Scripture
says that the Lord “formed man of dust from the ground” (Gen. 2:7), it does not seem
possible to understand that to mean that he did it over a process that took millions of
years and employed the random development of thousands of increasingly complex
organisms.7 Even more impossible to reconcile with an evolutionary view is the fact
that this narrative clearly portrays Eve as having no female parent: she was created
directly from Adam’s rib while Adam slept (Gen. 2:21). , for even the very first female “human being” would
have been descended from some nearly human creature that was still an animal”

“Many nominal Christians today are, in effect, practical deists,
since they live lives almost totally devoid of genuine prayer, worship, fear of God, or
moment-by-moment trust in God to care for needs that arise.”

“The best bet
for poor countries is to rely on one simple idea:
When markets are free and the incentives are right,
people can find ways to solve their problems”
