“[T]he NIPCC’s regional approach to analyzing extreme events and historical and paleo records of temperature, rainfall, streamflow, glaciers, sea ice, and sea-level rise is commendable and frankly more informative than the global analyses provided by the IPCC.” — Dr. Judith Curry, then-professor and chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech […]
Due to a mild case of procrastination, exacerbated by multiple distractions of varying importance, I almost didn’t get a blogpost prepared for this week. First, I wasn’t sure whether or not I wanted to do something Easter-related this year. I did have a potential source article to draw from regarding pagan origins. But, once I […]
“That’s not the resume of a ‘uniter in chief.’” — Jarrett Stepman, columnist for The Daily Signal and author of The War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite America’s Past What do you consider to be the biggest failures of the Biden administration (or, as some prefer, “Biden regime”), so far? Earlier this month, in […]
Last week, we looked at what the ESV Study Bible and the Baker Illustrated Study Bible (CSB) study notes said about the incident involving Noah’s drunkenness and nakedness, Ham’s transgression regarding it, and the resultant curse against Canaan. This week, we continue the investigation by looking at the NIV Faithlife Illustrated Study Bible and the […]
If you read my posts from 2/4/2024 & 2/11/2024, you can guess what I’m going to do this week and next. I have chosen a particularly baffling passage from the Old Testament which many commentators gloss over, and I will cite what four of the top study Bibles have to say about it. This time, […]
This is the last citation from Hugh Ross’s Improbable Planet, I promise. In this excerpt, Ross discusses the impact (in both senses of the term) of the Chicxulub asteroid, which struck the Yucatán Peninsula and caused the Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction. In short, it was much worse than originally thought. — — — The decisive blow that […]
Some conspiracies are true. We hear a lot about “conspiracy theories” and the “nuts” that espouse them. In many cases, the theories are indeed unbalanced and not supported by evidence and/or rational thinking. But, conspiracies happen all the time, especially in the halls of power. The etymology of the word “conspire” means to “breathe together”. […]
“[S]omething is going on and black voters are breaking with past voting patterns.” — Star Parker, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education In the 2016 election, only 8% of Black voters supported Donald Trump. That number increased to 12% in 2020. As of a poll taken by Siena College and the New […]
As planned, this week continues our look at what a few of the best study Bibles have to say about Genesis 6:1-4 — the passage that first speaks of “sons of God” and the Nephilim (or giants). It is one of the most curious and hard to completely interpret passages in the Bible. Of course, […]
There are many Bible passages that can be shocking (especially to our modern minds) or confusing. Typically, though, a better understanding of some of the cultural background can help, or a better understanding of God’s nature/attributes and purposes, etc. But, there are a small number of such passages that leave even the most knowledgeable pastor […]
