This month marks 10 years since Fuz Rana’s book, Creating Life in the Lab (2011) was published. I have owned a copy for awhile, of course, but it finally made it to the top of my Read List late last year. It was a little different than I expected, yet I’m not quite sure what […]
“This will have a huge impact not only at the national level but on the state and county levels as well!” — Mat Staver, Chairman of Liberty Council Action I don’t normally post on this blog during the week, but I felt that this needed to be shared right away. HR 1, legislation now before […]
“A good teacher doesn’t merely tell his students that they’re wrong. A good teacher shows his students why they’re wrong so that they don’t make the same mistake twice. He corrects because he cares.” — Tim Barnett Years ago, I did a series of posts on informal fallacies in logic. Never finished the series, but […]
“Use this sword against my enemies, if I give righteous commands; but if I give unrighteous commands, use it against me.” — Roman Emperor Trajan, speaking to a subordinate In my post a couple weeks back about Romans 13 and civil government, I referred to a book called The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates (2013) […]

Here’s a bit of relief from the political stuff goin’ on… There are scads of interesting creatures under the sea, and some of them are rather bizarre-looking. For example, the lamprey, goblin shark, anglerfish, and blobfish are among my favorites. But, the “deep-sea blob” I want to bring to your attention today is not related […]

(And it was neither an attempted “coup” nor “domestic terrorism”, by the way.) On the other hand, the Bible says […]
“The remarkable confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic with the advances in mRNA vaccines has one of two possible explanations: It’s either a fortuitous accident or a reflection of God’s providential timing and faithful provision to humanity.” — Dr. Fazale Rana, V.P. of Research and Apologetics, Reasons to Believe To be honest, I have not yet […]
Many long-time readers of this blog will remember that for several years (2014-2018) I ended each year with a “Top 10” post.
