A View from the Right Science, POLITICS, & Religion

“AI mirrors its creator — Grok 4, with its curated data, reflects xAI’s biases, not an objective truth. Its reasoning, while advanced, remains bounded by human design and data, incapable of grasping the totality of existence.” — Grok 3.0 Not sure if I have addressed this in print before, but I have many concerns about […]

Although I am spending more time reading fiction these days, I did manage to read several non-fiction books in 2025, all of which I enjoyed and benefited from to varying degrees. Those described below are sort of a “Top 5” — the ones I consider standouts and would recommend to anyone interested in the relevant […]

The recommended videos below are not, as you probably guessed, TV shows, films, or funny cat videos. (Those are more likely to show up on my “Heroes and Aliens” blog or my Facebook feed.) Rather, these involve discussions about Bible/theology and/or cultural/political issues. They are all free to watch on YouTube. The first one was […]

Although I already put out a Christmas post a couple weeks ago, I came up with something else my readers might find interesting, and I didn’t feel like waiting until next year to share it. Earlier this year, I posted “4 Easter-Related Archaeological Finds”, for which I borrowed material from Dr. Titus Kennedy’s book Unearthing […]

“I don’t hear a ‘demonic growl.’ I hear the Lion of Judah ROARING in this song!! 🔥 Come quickly Lord!!” — fan comment on YouTube As you may or may not be aware, the popular Christian rock band Skillet recently released a music video with their cover of the traditional Advent hymn “O Come, O […]

A few weeks ago, I posted “Lucy and the State of Hominid Evolution”, in which I quoted Dr. Fuz Rana of Reasons to Believe (RTB) in the book Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?, ed. by Keathley, Stump, and Aguirre. The subject of that post was… well, pretty much exactly what the title says — “Lucy” being […]

“Large numbers of aliens who are illegally in the country fail to appear for their scheduled hearings, most likely because they know they have no valid reason for overcoming removal and remaining in the country legally.” — Hans von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow and specialist in civil rights, civil justice, the First Amendment, immigration, et […]

“This video offers an important lesson. It’s spoken with confidence. It sounds compelling. But, it’s completely false.” — Mr. B, “Red Pen Logic” It has been a few weeks since my last such post, so I thought it time to encourage some more careful thought by offering up a couple more episodes of “Red Pen […]

A few weeks ago, I finished reading Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?, ed. by Keathley, Stump, and Aguirre. You might remember the title, because I published two posts this past August in which I cited representatives of the two Christian organizations that contributed to the discussion in the book — BioLogos and Reasons to Believe (RTB).
