I am not into watching fictional shows. But one night my son was watching The Flash and something caught my ear. The character Caitlin stated: “If Dr. Wells is who you say he is, everything I’ve done since the minute I’ve stepped foot in S.T.A.R. labs has been a lie.”1 This is true about human nature. People will not want to admit to themselves that they have invested themselves in something that is a lie. And that is a major…..
This past Wednesday, I attended the 4th Annual UTSA Religious Forum. On the panel, they had SGI Buddhists, a Catholic nun, an American Humanist, a Hillel (Jewish), and members of the Secularist Student Alliance – sponsoring the event. The organizers wanted diverse viewpoints. But when the topic of evolution come up – everyone agreed Darwinian evolution (molecules to man) was a “fact.” The organizers thought the Christian viewpoint was represented by the nun and did not see the importance of…..
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…..
These past few days, three notable people that I obviously did not know personally, but know about, passed away – Florence Henderson, Ron Glass, and Fidel Castro. I was really into the Brady Bunch when it originally aired. So of course, to me Florence Henderson was Carol Brady; although I understand she was an accomplished performer.1 Ron Glass was a very fine actor that I remember as Detective Ron Harris on the show Barney Miller. But Ron Glass really displayed…..
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…..
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?…..
On the October 8, 2015 Michael Medved Show, at the end of the broadcast, two callers were very critical of Benjamin Carson. One caller stated “Ben Carson is a lunatic, a sociopathic lunatic.” Another caller disagreed that Carson is sociopathic, but stated “Benjamin Carson is deluded” because Carson does not believe in evolution (meaning the General Theory of Evolution). He went on about how Carson believed Darwin was “evil” and believed there is a “conspiracy” to teach evolution.1 Medved defended Carson,…..
