* In his prayer the Lord Jesus refers to the glory that he had with the Father "Before the foundation of the world". Does this relate to Paul's words about God's purpose and grace "before time began" in 2 Timothy 1:9-10 and Titus 1:2? What do these passages mean? Can they be read as referring to some more recent beginning?
* Is it fair to appropriate John 17:17 against evolution, arguing that evolution is not true, and so therefore it must be contrary to the Word of God?
