Rethinking Scripture with JR Pittman

infofcg

JR Pittman was created for one purpose: to push you further than you are comfortable going. Through books, newsletters, podcasts, and an ever-expanding platform, JR Pittman exists to serve not only scholars and theologians, but everyday readers — and those who have never considered themselves readers at all. We believe the most dangerous thing a mind can do is stop questioning, and the most courageous thing a person can do is think differently than the room they're sitting in. JR Pittman is a platform for authors and thinkers who refuse to accept a conclusion simply because it has always been the accepted one — writers who challenge norms, interrogate assumptions, and invite their readers into conversations that are long overdue. Our debut title, Women Are Not the Villains, is exactly that kind of book — a work designed not to comfort the familiar, but to ignite a global conversation that the church, the scholar, and the curious mind have all been circling for centuries without the courage to land. This is only the beginning. With a growing roster of authors who think outside every box they were handed, JR Pittman is building something rare: a publishing home where expanding your thinking is not optional — it is the entire point.

    Who Put It There? The Brain and the Great Divide | J.R. Pittman One-on-One

    One night in Wisconsin, May Lemke woke to someone in her house playing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, beautifully and without a mistake. It was her son Leslie: born premature, blind, with cerebral palsy, unable to walk until he was 15. He had heard the piece once, on TV, earlier that evening. Where did that come from? In this Book III episode of Your Brain Is Not an Accident, J.R. Pittman makes the case for both sides of what he calls the Great Divide, and tells you where he has landed. The Great Divide: science shows we have evolved. Genesis 2:7 shows Adam formed from the dust, complete. How do the two fit together? Evolution in three simple ideas, and Peter and Rosemary Grant's Galápagos finches, whose beaks measurably changed after the 1977 drought. Why Book III goes back and forth between breaking Darwin's theory and inviting him to Sunday dinner. The brain: 86 billion neurons, about 20% of the body's energy, and why the "10 percent" idea is a myth. Capacity no one asked for: Kim Peek, who memorized about 9,000 books but couldn't button his shirt, and Ben Underwood, who lost both eyes to cancer as a toddler and learned to "see" by clicking his tongue. Alfred Russel Wallace, co-discoverer of natural selection, who concluded it could not explain mathematics, music and moral sense. Where JR stands: evolution is real, but the brain is more than evolution. He believes it was designed by God so we could communicate with Him and with each other. Help find the bridge. How do you see the relationship between Adam and evolution? Send your answer or comments to info@25millionbacktothebible.com by November 15. JR will share what you sent on Tuesday, November 17. Book IV is out now: Why Didn't Adam Speak Up? Adam was standing right there in the garden and heard every word. And he said nothing. Search "Why Didn't Adam Speak Up" on Amazon.
