Example

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. He illustrates the fundamentalist position (that we talked about in Ethics) perfectly.

This is his website: http://www.answersingenesis.org/

You can even purchase his sermons online: http://www.sermonaudio.com/! (I'm downloading some of these, and will post them later).


Notice:

(1) his use of violent imagery ('...it's a war. It's a battle of world views').

(2) his absolute commitment to the text 'No apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record' - including his denial of interpretation.

(3) his complete lack of understanding of the basic idea of evolution (confusing evolution by natural selection with the big bang AND saying that evolution teaches that humans descend from chimps, when it actually teaches that humans and chimps descend from the same common ancestor AND bringing up the global flood).
