Dear Jonathan, I saw a story by David Cawton of Time Warner Cable News on the Texas Religious Liberty Bills being proposed. Chris Wallace, President of Texas Association of Business, stated “Poll after Poll, survey after survey show that millennials do not want to be in a state that is unwelcoming of all people.” Conversely, you were defending the Texas Religious Liberty Bills.1 Jonathan, you need to know something about me. I volunteered at the San Antonio Pregnancy Care Center…..
Wednesday night, I was watching the 1999 TNT version of Animal Farm with my wife and son. For those of you who are not familiar with Animal Farm, Animal Farm was first a book written by George Orwell. The plot of the book is the animals took over the farm from farmer Jones. The idea was all the animals would be equal. But pigs led by a porker named Napoleon took power and made themselves “more equal.” A pig named…..
Being a sports fan, I have been convinced for a long time that there are a lot of good players out there that never make it in the NFL, NBA or MLB; the reason being there is so much competition that a lot of good players get overlooked. Also, coaches and managers have a paradigm about what they are looking for and may not notice someone who does not fit that paradigm. I see players from Johnny Unitas to Kurt…..
Lawrence Krauss was Interview by David Pakman where he said the teaching biblical creationism is like the Taliban and Child Abuse. Below is a link to that interview: What follows is my examination of what he was saying: Lawrence Krauss: Teaching Creationism Like Taliban, Child Abuse – Logical Fallacies 1. “Fear of going to hell” “irrational fear” and “child abuse”– Question Begging Epithet Also, is not believing in hell a scientific belief or a religious belief? 2. “Filling their minds…..
Donald Trump’s primary election victory in South Carolina is actually a repeat of history. In 2008, John McCain won South Carolina which kept his candidacy going and led to him being the Republican nominee. South Carolina is an open primary state. So what has been happening is that people who are not Republicans have been choosing the Republican nominees, and we see the results. Of course the result in 2008 was Barrack Obama being elected as President of the United…..
Robert Reich says that the GOP has “died in 2016” and “been replaced by warring tribes.” One of these “tribes” is “Evangelicals opposed to abortion, gay marriage, and science.”1 Just to clarify in case there is someone out there who does not get what he is saying; Reich is saying that anyone that believes the Bible rather than Darwin is opposed to science. Again, as a reminder, The General Theory of Evolution and the big bang theory are actually products…..
Do you ever get angry when you are proved right? I do. Our pastor at my church has started a Sunday evening series called Why I Believe. It addresses the questions: Can I trust the Bible? How do I know that Christianity is true? In our last class on January 17, 2016, we discussed a number of evidences as to why we can believe the Bible from a scientific perspective, including evidence for Noah’s flood. We really had a good…..
Taking Tuesday off, I saw this show on the Science Channel called Strip the Cosmos. Suspecting what it would be, I watched some of it and sure enough I was right. The episode that I watched was called “Alien Worlds.” It was filled with philosophical materialism (the belief that matter and energy are all that exist) guised as science. They were explaining how life could exist elsewhere. The whole point of this is to show that life is something that…..
Recent terrorist attacks on Paris and San Bernardino have reawakened fears of Islamic terrorism. After September 11, 2001, when the terrorists brought down four planes, the World Trade Center and also hit the Pentagon, the song “God Bless America” became very popular again. And I, as much as anyone, want God to bless America. My son is only eight years old and for his sake I want God to bless America. But you have to ask yourself: Why Should He?…..
I recorded an observation that I made watching a Eugenie Scott lecture. This exposes the Darwinists as not being the people of science that they claim to be. They are people with presuppositions just like everyone else and an agenda. They are totally biased. I am biased as well. But at least I am objective enough to admit that I am biased. Eugenie C. Scott, former head of the National Center for Science Education, shows herself to be a total hypocrite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuPBxFH9Gsg…..
