In the article “The evolution train’s a-comin’, ”1 Carl Wieland brilliantly exposes the flaws of an article by Jerry Coyne “The case of the missing carpaccio.”2 The article by Jerry Coyne is actually a review of the book – The Evolution Explosion: How Humans Cause Rapid Evolutionary Change – by Stephen R. Palumbi. Coyne states: Many who reject darwinism on religious grounds already accept anthropogenic evolution as ‘adaptation within a species’, but argue that such small changes cannot explain the evolution…..
What do Lego sets and the human body have in common? After 15 years of dealing with a chronic shoulder injury, I finally decided to ask my doctor for an MRI to find out what was going on and to see what could be done to fix it. By the way, the MRI inventor believes in biblical creation.1 So much for Bill Nye’s assertion that biblical creation conflicts with science.2 The initial diagnosis was a torn supraspinatus, full thickness. This…..
In my article “Is COVID-19 Bad?” I made the point that coronavirus is really a bad thing and a result of the curse.1 And I made the point that the response has exposed an inconsistency in Darwinists’ thinking. But in my response to a comment, I also indicated that I question how this has been handled and how it should be handled. That is what science is about, having an open and honest debate. Recently, I a saw a…..
The death of George Floyd and its aftermath has prompted a lot of discussion of the need for change. Proposals that I have heard include increased training of law enforcement, allowing for law enforcement agents to be personally sued, and one that I like if it is workable – increased body cams. I have also heard of proposals that do not make any sense at all to me, such as defunding the police. What do people want? Total anarchy? That…..
Should we blindly trust our church leadership to tell us what the Bible means? My article “Stop Ignoring the Dinosaur in the Room!”1 referred to a New York Times article that extolled people for doing this because they “had more freedom to accept science.”2 But are these people missing something? Are their church leaders putting their trust in what the scientists are telling them? And what is the worldview of these scientists? Do they have biases?3 What is their view…..
With this interruption to our normal lives the coronavirus has caused, I think we need to ask ourselves: Is the coronavirus a bad thing? How should we respond to this? Should we be taking all of the measures that we are taking to prevent the spread of the disease and save lives? We know that the people who are most threatened by this illness are people with underlying health issues and the elderly.1 From my observation, that is like other…..
It is time to stop ignoring the dinosaur in the room! The opening skit of Saturday Night Live (SNL) on Saturday, March 07, 2020, started out with Beck Bennett playing Vice-President Mike Pence.1 “Mike Pence” was announcing “President Trump has put me in charge of the coronavirus, even though I don’t believe in ‘science.’ And I have to admit, this disease has been quite a test of my faith, just like dinosaur bones or Timothy Chalamet” On the one hand,…..
Attending the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) (Now Missouri University of Science and Technology), I did have some conversations with fellow students regarding Darwinian evolution and the Bible, that I was totally unprepared for. But I never had to deal with Darwinism being taught in my classes or my professors espousing Darwinism. An engineering curriculum includes classes like calculus, differential equations, statistics, engineering economics, physics, statics, dynamics, kinematics, thermodynamics, thermofluid mechanics, mechanics of materials, electrical circuits, operations research, dynamics of machinery,…..
We can all learn a lot of from history. “The Battle of Singapore” episode of Generals At War analyzed the decision making of Japanese General Tomoyuki Yamashita and British General Arthur Percival.1 Under Yamashita, the Japanese drove down the Malay Peninsula; and with the British surrender, captured Singapore. The reason given that Percival decided to surrender was that the British were running out of supplies, to include water. However, when discussing surrender terms, what Yamashita did not want Percival to…..
On Tuesday, October 22, on my drive home, I heard Joe Pags discussing how in court a mother won a verdict against the boy’s father to have her seven year old son transition to a “girl.”1 This would involve the boy taking hormone blockers to prevent puberty.2. The mother says that James “identifies” as a girl and chooses to wear girls clothing. The father says that James wants to wear boys clothing around him. There are a number of points…..
