In this article, we review – at a layman level – the original argument that Phil Dennis made against ASC and my refutation of his claims. This is important for two reasons. First, Dennis’s first article contained a great deal of mathematics, and this required me to reply in kind. Therefore, my goal here is to explain the disagreement between us without using any equations so that the layman may understand the essence of the dispute.

July 10, 2025, marked the 100th anniversary of the start of the famous “Scopes Monkey Trial,” in which John Scopes was accused of teaching evolution in violation of the Butler Act. The trial was the inspiration for the heavily fictionized play (and subsequent movies) Inherit the Wind. The Scopes trial was considered a victory for the teaching of evolution in public schools. But what actually happened at this trial? Was the scientific evidence really a powerful refutation of biblical creation? Would it stand up to modern scrutiny?

We have been examining the claims of Liam, who denies the Trinity in general and who, in particular, denies that Jesus is God. This ultimately is not an intellectual exercise but a spiritual one. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that a person can declare with conviction that Jesus is Yahweh – the Lord. 1 Corinthians 12:3b states, “And no one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” Furthermore, confessing Jesus as Lord is a requirement for salvation (Romans 10:9-13), for there is no Savior besides the one and only Yahweh (Isaiah 43:11). Therefore, if Jesus is not Yahweh, then neither can He be your Savior.

As Christians, we love people and desire for them to be saved. We pray for their salvation, we share the Gospel with them, and we urge them to repent of sin and trust in Christ. And we try to remove intellectual stumbling blocks. But many Christians often make a critical mistake: they assume that what the unbeliever says about himself and his beliefs is true. They assume that the unbeliever has correctly evaluated his own beliefs and has truthfully stated them. After all, who could know a person’s beliefs better than the person himself? The answer is God. The Lord knows the hearts of men better than they know themselves; this would have to be the case since God is all-knowing (Jeremiah 17:9-10). Furthermore, God has stated in His Word that unbelievers are self-deceived and do not truthfully report what is in their hearts. A failure to recognize this lies at the heart of many unbiblical approaches in defending the faith.

In this series of articles, we’ve been addressing the most common prooftexts that FSIPs (Flat/Stationary Interpretation Proponents) cite to justify their allegation that the Bible depicts, indicates, or implies a flat and/or stationary earth. Genesis 1 is a passage...

In this fourth installment of our series on refuting the so-called flat/stationary-earth prooftexts in the Bible, we’ll address the “high altitude perspective” passages that FSIPs (Flat Stationary Interpretation Proponents) frequently cite: Daniel 4, Matthew 4, and Revelation 1. As we examine these passages within their contexts, we’ll once again find that the FSIPs’ interpretations are unwarranted and their claims unjustified.
