I cited from John Lennox’s book God’s Undertaker not long ago. The mathematician discusses various factual and logical challenges to Richard Dawkins’ analogy for natural processes which posits an infinite number of monkeys “randomly” typing works of Shakespeare — or even just a single target word. In my opinion, the refutation of the typing monkeys […]
“Ford! There’s and infinite amount of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they’ve worked out.” — Arthur Dent, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams Earlier this year, I produced two posts citing mathematician John C. Lennox’s book, God’s Undertaker. The first was about Galileo’s legendary […]
“There are costly damages associated with climate change. But there are also costly damages associated with climate policies. Too many politicians and the media focus only on the former.” — Bjorn Lomborg As I sometimes do, I’d like to share an excerpt or three from Hillsdale College’s Imprimis newsletter. This time it is from a […]
“The authors have definitely found something new. This is a really weird, stupendously large, early whale.” — paleobiologist Nicholas Pyenson, curator of fossil marine mammals at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Thirteen years after paleontologist Mario Urbina discovered some really big fossils in the coastal desert of Peru, he and his team were […]
“The Church of Diversity waxes strong. All must be cleansed; all must be saved.” — Vivek Ramaswamy, Woke, Inc. As I have said before, Vivek Ramaswamy is not my first (or second, or third) choice among the GOP’s current presidential candidates. But, he is anti-woke, and I think he has some good ideas. So, I […]
Jesuit priest/journalist Thomas Reese recently wrote a piece for “Religion News Service”, in which he discusses Pope Francis and some of his critics (within Catholicism) on the topic of God’s mercy vs. justice. “Deep in our hearts, we want Batman for God, someone who will beat up our enemies and punish evildoers. We really don’t […]
“[Joe Biden] was aware of Hunter’s business. He met with Hunter’s business partners.” — Devon Archer, being interviewed by Tucker Carlson I originally had something different in mind for this week. But, then this came up and, since it makes for a great sequel to last week’s post, I wanted to provide my own summary […]
This actually happened several days ago, and there has been more reported on the probe since, but I still thought it worth mentioning. You’ve all probably heard or read about the investigation(s) into Hunter Biden and his father, and a big part of that has to do with huge “consulting” fees and unpaid taxes. The […]
“[T]he rate of warming as measured by unperturbed surface stations, USCRN, and UAH does not represent a climate crisis.” — Corrupted Climate Stations: The Official U.S. Temperature Record Remains Fatally Flawed (2022) Have you ever wondered how the climate gurus calculate things like average surface temperatures and warming trends? Where do they get the data? […]
“One way or another, the time is now for Congress to do what’s needed to fix the FBI and end its trampling of Americans’ most precious civil liberties.” — Steven G. Bradbury, Distinguished Fellow in the Executive Vice President’s Office at The Heritage Foundation For a while now, there have been calls to revamp or […]
