“China’s cyber-spies have been hacking countries left and right. They were blamed for the enormous data breach at the US Office of Personnel Management that compromised the data of more than 21 million people.” — Samuel Bocetta, CFIF We’ve all heard of “cyberwarfare”. It gets mentioned in the news along with “cybersecurity” and various attempts […]
“Christians want to be under rather than over Scripture, yet we do not want to be anti-science. So what do we do with this apparent antinomy* between the book of Scripture and the book of nature?” — Jud Davis Believe it or not, I don’t always have a science/faith book in progress. But, prior to […]
“America’s central position in the global energy system as a leading producer, consumer, and innovator ensures that markets are free and U.S. infrastructure is resilient and secure.” — NSS Report, Dec. 2017 The idea of U.S. energy independence — or even dominance — and its role in our national security strategy is not new — […]
In what has become something of a year-end tradition here at “A View from the Right”, my final post for 2017 is a “Top 10” of links (with associated excerpts) to posts from preceding years.

And this is our responsibility as scientists, certainly […]
“If scientists are able to detect gases like oxygen in the atmosphere of Ross 128 b, that could be a good indicator of biological processes on the planet.” — Molly Rubin (Quartz Media) It seems like a new exoplanet (aka “extrasolar planet”, i.e., a planet in a solar system other than ours) is found every […]
Previous installments of the “Snippets” series covered four chapters each. This one covers the six chapters that make up the (sort of) middle of the True Reason book. Simply put, they “offer arguments for the rational strength of the Christian worldview.” See any familiar names among the authors? Nine: “Reason in a Christian Context” (Peter […]
“[I]n 1945 we were the protagonists with the new weapon. Now, we are the ones who are likely to be on the receiving end. If the Trump administration doesn’t act quickly and decisively, it may be a very cold winter.” — Steve King, COO of Netswitch Technology Management A couple weeks ago, I wrote about […]
“Usually there’s a big ball of light in the sky But now on this Day of the Mon Nothing I can see A total eclipse of the Sun” (with apologies to Bonnie Tyler and James Richard Steinman) I admit, I’m just not that into it. Chasing Monday’s eclipse, that is. I’m a science apologetics geek, […]
The other day, someone shared an interesting post in a Facebook group that I belong to. It posed some questions from someone named “Dr. Sherlin”, who I am unfamiliar with, but no one in our group commented on it.
