A close friend and associate, Kenneth W. Funk, Ph.D., passed away at age 79 on May 28, 2025. He was the Midwest Creation Fellowship (MCF) Director. Will MCF survive? Unfortunately, Ken is only one of many creationist scientists who have passed away in the past few years.
Many false myths exist about the creation worldview that creationists have attempted to overcome. Unfortunately, myths die hard, if they die at all. One of the most widely believed false myths is that the Church taught that the world was flat, which caused the Catholic Columbus to fear that he would fall off of the Earth’s edge if he sailed too far West. In fact, Columbus knew the earth was not flat and even estimated the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan was 2,800 miles. He turned out to be wrong about this fact. We know that it was actually closer to 14,000 miles.
NOTE: I want to thank the eight persons (three ID supporters and five creationists), who contributed most of the material, often quoted verbatim, in this paper. (Some wanted anonymity; also, some of the strong quotes were toned down, illustrating the harm and level of hostility that some persons have created in both the Creation Science and Intelligent Design movements.)
Atheism, often called by the more friendly term “The Nones”, includes both atheists and agnostics. The number of “Nones” has risen dramatically in the past decade and shows no signs of slowing down (Pew, 2024). They are now the largest religious cohort in the United States (28%). The Nones are now more prevalent among American adults than evangelical Protestants (24%) or Catholics (23%). White Evangelicals, once the fastest-growing religious group in America, is now shrinking.
Evolution teaches that the natural state of all animals is wild, not tame. They postulate that the taming of dogs, horses, and other animals required thousands of years of evolution. The process they describe involved dogs eating the garbage deposited by humans and slowly, after many years, dogs that were genetically less fearful of humans became used to being around humans. Concurrently, humans became used to the ‘wild’ dogs, and later, even positive about their presence. Eventually, humans began to feed them, causing the dogs to rely on humans for food instead of hunting rabbits.
Dwight Eisenhower was a distant relative of mine by marriage. His brother, Roy, married Edna Shade who was related to the Eckhoff family. My mother’s mother was an Eckhoff. I have been collecting material about ‘Ike’ for about 40 years and finally published an article in a peer-reviewed journal, Kansas History, on his religious upbringing. My article was given the Edgar Langsdorf Award for superior writing, as determined by a panel of judges appointed by the Kansas Historical Foundation.
