 CONTRADICTIONS CHALLENGE FAITH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
 Charles Templeton, the well-known Canadian author and broadcaster, who back in the 1940s and '50s was an associate of Billy Graham's and, for a time, the world's most popular and compelling Christian evangelist, even topping Graham.
 Templeton, however, is certain that what the Bible and Billy Graham tell us about God and His all-powerful, omniscient morality is contradictory nonsense; and neither does Jesus escape Templeton's attacks in the former evangelist's 1996 book Farewell To God.
 Templeton points out the biblical contradictions on how God created heaven and earth, and what he says is the patent, common-sense-defying silliness of Adam and Eve, Moses and the burning bush, the parting of the Red Sea, Noah and his ark, on and on.

 The slippery slide to unbelief
Templeton, like generations of others, was taught at Princeton to reject parts of Genesis in favour of man’s beliefs concerning such things as billions of years.
One wonders whether Templeton would ever have written his Farewell to God, had the Church in his day rejected the billions of years, shown the fallible nature of the dating methods, and taught clearly that there could be no death, disease and bloodshed before sin.
Templeton is quite right — much of the teaching of the Church is irrelevant, as God’s Word has been relegated to merely a ‘religious’ book — a book of ‘stories’.
