I think most of us are familiar with the “There’s good news and bad news.” That is what I was thinking when I was looking at the stories on Bing on Thursday. I will start out with the bad news. The bad news is Vermont’s woman’s basketball team cancelled a scheduled game against the University of North Carolina.1 They canceled it is because North Carolina has enough sense to know that men should use men’s restrooms and locker rooms and…..
I just happened to run across this one article on the internet – “Does Honey Really Last Forever?”1 It is on a site called Ziobits under “Fun Facts.” The article explains how the honey dries out bacteria because of its very low water content and high sugar content. Bees make honey to last a long time. The article had some interesting information. But this is what I took note of. The article stated: “Since bees need to eat during…..
I often make the point that if you look at the world through rose colored glasses, everything will look rose colored. That is how the Darwinists are. No matter what the observation, they will find some evolutionary explanation for it. This is true of people having issues with their wisdom teeth. Scientists call wisdom teeth “vestigial” and use this as “evidence” for evolution.1 We must always remember that the General Theory of Evolution is that life started out as…..
On Friday, May 13, the Obama administration gave notice to U.S. public schools that transgender students must be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice.1 The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) responded. Ronnie Floyd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, stated this as “an outrageous attack on our Creator Himself, human sexuality and morality, and an advancement of the attack against religious freedom.”2 As a matter of fact, a number of Southern Baptist leaders have made statements on this issue…..
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…..
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…..
