    Metamorphosis

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! In previous newsletters we have highlighted the way that microbe-to-man evolution did not gain widespread acceptance until industrialization and urbanization had cut off most of Christendom from the land.  We have argued that this was necessary because people who live in continual contact with nature and who work the land…

    Only The Truth Will Set Us Free

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! In our publication Loved, Lost and Found, we give many examples of how the universal memory of the events recorded in the first eleven chapters of the sacred history of Genesis provided a basis for successful evangelization all over the world.  Recently, I read an account of the historical and…

    Jesus the Worm of Isaiah

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! We have often reflected that one of the ways that the Mosaic account of creation corresponds with our experience of created reality is by its symphonic character.   In the evolutionary account of origins, there is a linear development from one or a few one-celled organisms, spanning a period of hundreds…

    Locke, Babel, Africa, and the Flood

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Christ is risen! Alleluia! It has been almost exactly ten years since Dr. Thomas Seiler, Eric Bermingham’s son, and I visited Uganda, the “pearl of Africa,” for the first time.  As explained in the article at this link we discerned an anointing on the Church in Uganda from the beginning.  As we learned about…
