A View from the Right Science, POLITICS, & Religion

When considering what to post about this week, the whole “Easter is a pagan holiday” thing kept rearing its head. I knew there were problems with that line of thinking but didn’t relish diving into an investigation about it with only a couple days until Easter. Fortunately, I was sent an email with an article […]

Have you heard about the “crisis” in cosmology? “Crisis” seems a bit alarmist to me, but that’s the term some are using. It comes down to the fact that cosmologists can’t figure out how to reconcile the most recent measurements for the age of the universe. See, there are two major methodologies to deriving it, […]

“The Left’s partisan crusade to force Justice Thomas off of cases is not based on real recusal standards but on politics.” — Carrie Severino, president of Judicial Crisis Network At the very least, Democrats want Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from cases regarding the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (Though, if […]

“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” — Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist Thanks primarily to bad governmental policy, Americans have noticed their hard-earned dollars are buying noticeably less these […]

“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.” — Professor Klaus Schwab, WEF The first time I heard of the “Great Reset”, it was mentioned in a podcast. It sounded very disturbing, but I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, and I didn’t take […]

“He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising.” — Jordan Peterson, paraphrasing the Bible You’ve heard of Jordan B. Peterson, right? He’s the Canadian psychology professor who has become somewhat of a celebrity/pariah in recent years, mostly because he is outspoken against things like political correctness and identity politics.

“Job 37:18, which describes skies without rain as a ‘bronze’ expanse (cf. Deut 28:23), is figurative and does not support the common contention that the ‘expanse’ was considered a bronze dome by the Hebrews.” — Kenneth Mathews, Genesis 1–11:26 (New American Commentary, vol. 1a) For roughly the past couple hundred years, certain scholars (mostly higher […]

I was reminded the other day that this is Black History Month. I don’t normally go out of my way to note, let alone celebrate, this.
