* It's a Blacktie Affair: A Bob & Doug extravaganza! A talent search to find the most qualified hosts to present KGOV's List of BEL Sayings settled on Doug McBurney and Bob Enyart. If you have a suggestion or if you find that a saying here predates Bob's program or is attributed to someone else, please email us.

Darwinism is an entire endeavor based on selection bias, a kind of logical fallacy. By anti-science they arbitrarily select evidence that best matches whichever evolutionary story is currently preferred." more

Lyrics (and music and performed by Tony Funderburk!) for the KGOV Theme Songs:
BEL Theme Song
Warning, Warning, there's truth up ahead.
It gets beyond all the headlines you've read.
Don't need lip service with a wink and a nod.
You need a man on a mission from God.
Well not to worry, here's Bob Enyart Live!
RSR Theme Song
Intelligent design and DNA,
scholars can't explain it all away.
Get ready to be awed,
by the handiwork of God.
Tune into Real Science Radio.
Turn up the Real Science Radio.
Keepin' it real!
"This is Bob Enyart reminding you to do right and risk the consequences."
As Heard on BEL: but not original...
- They never forgive the ones they hurt.
- No good deed goes unpunished.
* Origin of the term "Settled View": The guy who back in 1980 coined the term "open theism" forty years later told Bob that he liked the "Settled View" term to sum up opposing theologies. As in his high profile 2005 debate with Knox' Prof. Lamerson, Bob Enyart has long spoken of and may have coined the rather obvious term, "Settled View". The netural term effectively describes and combines into a single camp major otherwise discordant theological systems (including Arminianism and Calvinism). All settled viewers oppose God being free and able to think new thoughts; that is, they oppose open theism. The term was apparently picked up by writers including Gregory Boyd (2006, 2008) and both William Lane Craig and David Hunt in 2013. Craig and Hunt write of "the so-called settled view" in the journal Faith and Philosophy referring to it primarily as the "SFV" which they quote from "Settled Future View" in the same journal from Rhoda, Boyd, and Belt, etc. The phrase has also been picked up notably by Chris Fisher of GodIsOpen.com, by various bloggers, tweeters, various posters, street preachers, random evangelicals (although they probably wouldn't refer to themselves that way :), and by popular authors, theology forum admins, and apologists.
