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…..
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…..
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…..
A recent Texas Public Radio’s The Source1 interview with Elizabeth Waltman, Chief Operating Officer of the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center and Dr. C. J. Winckler, deputy medical director of the San Antonio Fire Department, was filled with biblical truth; even though that was not necessarily their intention. I do not know what their spiritual beliefs are or what they think of the Bible. The Bible tells us: “And if any native Israelite or foreigner living among you eats…..
In January, on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, New York passed a law eliminating restrictions on late term abortions – even allowing babies born alive during attempted abortions to just die.1 A Born Alive Survivors Protection Act was introduced in Congress – which addresses doctors letting babies die when an abortion fails to kill the baby.2 Virginia Governor Northam had made comments supporting letting these babies die. But the bill was blocked.3 The Texas Legislature passed a similar bill…..
In my e-mailings, I receive Que Pasa, a newsletter from the San Antonio Baptist Association. In their June 11 e-mailing, they had a segment on an article “The 2019 Most Post-Christian Cities in America.”1 Instead of just asking people how they identified themselves, Barna researchers looked at certain criteria; basically how people actually live their lives. I think it is notable that Springfield-Holyoke, MA was rated number 1, given that Massachusetts was founded “for the glory of God, and advancement…..
Recently, my mother was having higher than expected water bills. Being a retired bookkeeper, she would notice that. After watching some YouTube videos, I was ready to troubleshoot. My plan was to shut the valves in the water lines to all of the sinks and toilets and see if that stopped the water meter from running. Then if it did, open each valve until the meter started running again. Then I would know the problem. But before I got over…..
