Do You Wanna Build a Cell, Man?

May 4, 2025

I re-read Michael Denton’s Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1986) recently.

It was one of my favorite books when I was reading a lot on the evolution/creation/ID “debate” back in the 2000s, and I wanted […]

April 6, 2025

“The world’s richest man took $190 million away from kids with cancer.” — MSNBC host Chris Hayes on X (referring to Elon Musk) Instead of ranting about Trump’s tariffs like everyone else this week, I decided to address something else… Lately, I have become aware of certain claims made by some Leftists and other anti-Trumpers, […]
