Last week, The Daily Mail had an article headlined: “Bronze Age DNA disproves the Bible’s claim that the Canaanites were wiped out: Study says their genes live on in modern-day Lebanese people”1 The article mentions Deuteronomy where the Israelites are commanded to destroy the Canaanites. But this is a straw man argument. Joshua states 13:13 “But the Israelites failed to drive out the people of Geshur and Maacah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.”2 Joshua…..
In April 2016, I wrote an article stating that Lawrence Krauss sounds just like Squealer the Pig from the TNT Animal Farm movie.1 Lawrence Krauss is a professor at Arizona State University that calls teaching children creationism “child abuse” and “withholding knowledge.”2 Watching William Federer’s Faith in History3, I learned that Lawrence Krauss also sounds like Joe Stalin. Federer had a quote from the book Landmarks in the Life of Stalin – “In order to disabuse the minds of our…..
The Charlie Gard case shows how hypocritical “pro-choice” people are.1 They believe parents should have the right to kill their baby for any reason and under any circumstances. But they do not believe parents have the right to try to save their baby. To understand this, we have to look at another Charlie – Charles Darwin. In his Descent of Man, Charles Darwin stated: “With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly…..
Reading 1 Kings 18 in my daily Bible reading, I thought of theistic evolution. But Terry, what does 1 Kings 18 have to do with evolution? This was 2600 years before Charles Darwin’s Origin of the Species! Elijah called the people to Mount Carmel for a showdown with the prophets of Baal and Asherah. This is one of my favorite Bible accounts. Elijah said to the people: “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the Lord…..
Peter Ward, a University of Washington Biology professor, claims that people being stressed from Donald Trump’s presidency will cause an evolutionary change.1 Ward states: “Were finding more and more that, for instance, people who have gone through combat, or women who have been abused when you have these horrendous episodes in life, it causes permanent change, which is then passed on to your kid.” He then goes on to say “On a larger scale, the amount of stress that Americans…..
This past week I was struck by two news stories. The first one was Rachel Dolezal being disinvited from a Baltimore book festival.1 She was the person forced to resign as President of the NAACP because it was discovered she was not “black.” The second news story was a federal appeals court ruling that a 17 year old Wisconsin high school student, Ashton Whitaker, who is female, may use the boy’s room.2 Writing about the school’s policy, U.S. Circuit Judge…..
I recently read that a Notre Dame group – We Stand For1 – walked out on Mike Pence – stating: “Our members lived in South Bend when Mike Pence was governor. We know all too well how his policies endangered or caused direct harm to public education, health care, women’s rights, the environment, LGBTQ individuals, immigrants and refugees, reproductive rights, local infrastructure, the economy of our state, and more.”2 In other words, the group is pro-abortion, pro-LBGTQ agenda, socialistic, does…..
On March 22, 2015, I posted an article “Senator Uresti Needs a Criminal Background Check!”1 Texas Senate Bill 204, which was passed in 2013, required me to get fingerprinted for a criminal background check because I am a licensed professional engineer. There was not any such requirement for lawyers. I made three attempts to contact my state senator, Carlos Uresti about this – two e-mails and a phone call to his office. He never did respond. Guess what his occupation…..
Last Sunday I was watching Mysteries at the Museum; and there was a segment on Czech Dream. Czech Dream1 was a documentary made by two student filmmakers – Vít Klusák and Filip Remunda – who stage an elaborate hoax. They have this advertising campaign for this new “hypermarket,” where you can buy just about anything. It sounds like a Wal-Mart Supercenter. Anyway, people get there and it is just a façade held up by scaffolding. The point that the…..
The property tax is wrong. People make choices on how to spend their money. People take trips to Las Vegas every month, buy new cars every three years, go out to eat every night, or blow their money at “gentlemen’s clubs.” This is the United States of America. If that is what they want to do with their money, that is their business. But if a person chooses to spend more of their money on a house, then all of…..
