A View from the Right Science, POLITICS, & Religion

“Norman Geisler considers his view a ‘middle’ ground position, however, many Reformed critics of Geisler could categorize him as holding a weakened form of Arminianism.” — Peter Sammons, Reprobation and God’s Sovereignty, 109, n.14 This is a follow-up to my post of a few weeks back. I had mentioned Dr. Norman Geisler as a notable […]

You might read that title and think I’m a little weird. But, by the end of this post, you’ll be thankful for the lil fellas, too. (Though you may still think I’m weird.) A few years ago, I was having some digestive issues. (Nothing major.) I don’t remember the details — probably just as well […]

Kanye West — I refuse to call him ‘Ye’ — gets a lot of grief. This has been especially true in recent years, now that he has adopted a largely conservative political view and become a Christian (of some sort). As with Donald Trump, some of the criticism is fair, thanks to his big ego […]

“The more you investigate, the more likely you are to find that there is LESS to these stories than meets the eye.” — astronomer Andrew Fraknoi, Science Education and Outreach: Forging a Path to the Future journal Continuing from Part 1, we again consider the question asked in the post’s title: When is a UFO […]

In honor of Reformation Day this year, I opted to provide some information about the teachings of one of the Reformers, John Calvin. A little over a year ago, a Facebook friend shared a rather long post (possibly extracted from an e-book) from someone named Robin Schumacher. I was not familiar with the name at […]

“They can fly rings around the moon, but we’re years ahead of them on the highway.” — old man re UFOs, Close Encounters of the Third Kind There is more than one way to answer the titular question here. One response is, “When it’s called by another name.” During World War II, Allied aircraft pilots […]

“[T]he Biden administration imagines its budget will produce low inflation, steady growth, and low unemployment, when in reality, the opposite would be likely.” — Matthew Dickerson et al., The Heritage Foundation The House Budget Committee voted last month to pass Biden’s budget — a $3.5 trillion spending bill, which does not include the separate $1 […]

We have been seeing a lot of articles in recent weeks about the lead-up to the November midterm elections. Though you might not see it reflected in the MSM, other media have been predicting a “red wave” in various elections for federal, state, and local offices. Some battles are quite hot! The U.S. Senate races […]

Alternate titles: The Truth about Hyper-Calvinism OR Hyper-Calvinism: What It Is and Isn’t Once again, I find myself — a non-Calvinist, or perhaps a not-quite-Calvinist — defending Calvinists and Calvinism on social media. (Not that I do this a lot, mind you.) Or, at least, trying to correct misinformation. Why? ‘Cuz it really bugs me […]

“What one man can fantasize, another man will believe.” — William K. Hartmann A couple weeks ago, I shared from Stephen Webb’s book (2015), citing one solution to the Fermi Paradox. This week, I present a follow-up of sorts. It might sound like a joke, and in a sense it surely is. But, as we […]
