Re: Stealth attack on evolution

"Some years ago a student produced a project for his final year degree on John Newton the slave trader turned abolitionist.

Despite all my input he argued that Newton's faith was insincere because he was a slave trader and a brutal one at that. Before conversion and for a time afterwards Newton was a brutal slave trader and then repented of his slaving."

I think that is a fair example to cite. Newton's story has always bothered me. It seems to be parallel. You did not say anything about the student's scholarship. Did he look at ALL the evidence?

In Ahmanson's case, I have not (yet) found any convincing evidence that he has changed his position of endorsing the Chalcedon goals. Newton "went public" with his repudiation; if Ahmanson has done this it does not appear on my internet searches. So far, anyway.

I entered "Ahmanson" and "chalcedon" into a Google search yesterday. several interesting sites appeared:
