When we moved to Arizona a few years ago, we soon became aware of the joke that “Everything in Arizona wants to kill you.” Arizona has some of the most spectacular natural beauty in the world, starting with the Grand Canyon, but it also has a number of natural hazards: venomous snakes and spiders, scorpions, […]
It did not take long for questions like, “Where is God during the coronavirus pandemic?” to hit the news headlines. Funny how when things are going well, for most of us it doesn’t matter where God is. But suddenly there’s a crisis that upsets our comfort zones and pocketbooks, and people whose thoughts every waking […]
Let’s talk about Global Warming. Oh, I mean “Climate Change.” You know, the whole “save Mother Earth” thing and all. That notion that, if I drive a hybrid car, I’m being “green” and saving our forests. Being an eternal skeptic, and just a bit cynical, I’ve always seen the whole “green movement” as more about […]
I recently picked up a book by Richard Dawkins at a thrift store for one dollar. That’s about the maximum I’d want to pay for anything written by Dawkins, as it’s mostly worthless drivel under the guise of science and philosophy. Why do I say that? Because Dawkins frequently contradicts himself, is not a thinker […]
Let me cut right to the quick: Evolution is a religious belief. The debate between “religion” and “science” is a fabricated one. Stephen J. Gould, a master at inventing catchy phrases, and one of the former High Priests of the Evolution Faith, spoke of “non-overlapping magisteria,” which was described as religion telling us how to […]
A few weeks ago a friend sent me an article from the National Review online entitled “Conservatives Shouldn’t Fear Evolutionary Theory.” (https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/05/evolutionary-theory-crowning-achievement-western-civilization/) My first response was, “What, ME fear evolutionary theory? No, I don’t fear the theory at all. It’s just an empty secular attempt at answering the questions, “Why am I here? Where did […]
A friend once asked me what I felt was the most important doctrine in Christianity. I responded simply, “The Resurrection.” He was amazed! As many times as he’d asked that question, this was the first time anyone answered that way. I was amazed, too. So I asked him what response he usually received, and he […]
Well, I’ve been treated to two choice examples – actually three – once again demonstrating that Evolution is really a religious belief. The first was hearing Lawrence Krauss tell us to “forget Jesus” because it was really the stars that died so we could be born. Say what? “Science” tells us we’re all stardust. Nobody […]
Now we have the “alien skull” on Mars in the news. As with all things evolutionary, people see what they want to see. I happen to be currently reading Confessions of An Alien Hunter, by Seth Shostak of SETI (with whom I’ve had some contact (no pun intended) in the past). If it were not […]
The days in this world are growing darker, thanks to those who have no hope. There is no other “religious leader” in history besides Christ who was raised from the dead. No one else can claim that their leader and the founder of their faith is still alive except for true Christians, with hundreds of […]
