Dan regularly complains that I won't spoon feed (my term) him resources for things. Well back on October 16th of 2017 (https://jsmmds.blogspot.com/2017/10/origins.html) I posted the following. It's a list of resources to support the arguments regarding the origin of everything. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Dan has read, studied, or critiqued precisely zero of these resources. FYI the comments are full of additional resources. Strangely enough, Dan stayed silent.
"A while back Dan made the claim that "God created us in God's image.".
I was a little surprised to hear him so emphatically declare that God
had created us. So, I asked for clarification. After some initial
misunderstanding and confusion on his part, he finally responded with a
statement of sorts about what he meant by using the word "create". As
part of the digression, there was a request that I "point" him in the
direction of some resources on creation that might be more recent than
his extensive reading from 2-3 decades ago.
I "pointed" him to a couple of options, which he responded to with a degree of derision. Instead of continue down that road, I've decided to post a brief bibliography with some different views from a Christian perspective on the origins of life.
If Dan would like to avail himself of any of these resources, they are here for him. What will not be allowed is any of the ad hom/broad brush/snobbish attacks on entire groups of people he's chosen at his blog. Anything of that nature will quickly disappear and never be seen again. Any, actual engagement with anything specifically mentioned in any of these resources, or any actual refutation will be welcomed.

The point I'm making here is not to rehash the conversation that led to this post, but to point out that Dan has a history of demanding resources and not taking advantage of the resources he's provided.
Hopefully this will preempt any claim that of Dan's that I never give him what he asks for.
Those who know Dan, know that's his way.
