A View from the Right Science, POLITICS, & Religion

Mikey Weinstein is at it again. Here’s what happened… The Marine Corps had some training scheduled for JAG reservists. One of the sessions was to be presented by Jay Lorenzen, a retired Air Force chaplain currently working with Cru. The lesson was supposed to be a “virtual battlefield tour of Gettysburg using a video from […]

The other day I (re-)discovered a comment that a reader named “Ian” had left on a blogpost of mine a couple months ago, and I had forgotten all about it. The blogpost itself was from 2011, in which I presented the “just one question” argument for the pro-life position. For a number of reasons, I […]

“[I]t is far from true that biogeography unambiguously supports common ancestry.” — Dr. Günter Bechly Biogeography is the study of the distribution of organisms across geographic space and geological time. It has been around for quite awhile but has gradually integrated concepts and information from several scientific disciplines, from evolutionary biology to climatology. All “origins” […]

“The flag, like the Revolution it represents, was the work of many hands.” — Marla R. Miller, Betsy Ross and the Making of America (2010) When most Americans think of the first American flag, they think of upholsterer/seamstress Elizabeth Griscom “Betsy” Ross.

“On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a “Roe v. Wade type” of cultural-shifting ruling supporting sexual anarchy. Now the Senate is working to pass the even more radical “Equality Act” that will expand the federal government into every corner of our lives and decimate religious freedom for churches and religious groups.” The past few […]

Did you know that the famed Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is going to be replaced? Well, not “replaced” exactly, since it will probably remain functioning in low Earth orbit for many more years. There will be no direct replacement, as its coverage of near-ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths is still quite valuable, and nothing with similar […]

“The purpose of all [new movements] was to arrest progress and freeze history at a chosen moment. The familiar pendulum swing was to happen once more, and then stop. As usual, the High were to be turned out by the Middle, who would then become the High; but this time, by conscious strategy, the High […]

“War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.” I have recently been reading George Orwell’s 1984. It is quite the disturbing vision of how our world might go in the future, though it’s obviously taking longer than Orwell thought it might. I came across a section I thought might be “fun” to share with […]

Many people have heard of U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), but they may not know of his military background. After graduating Harvard Law, Cotton joined the Army and rose to the rank of 1st Lieutenant, serving in Iraq with the 101st Airborne and in Afghanistan with a Provincial Reconstruction Team. He was also awarded various […]
