Some readers might be familiar with, or at least aware of, “Red Pen Logic” (RPL). For those who aren’t, RPL is the work of Christian apologist Tim Barnett, aka “Mr. B”, who addresses questions and challenges to Christianity in brief videos. The challenges usually come in the form of a text that he reproduces on […]
“The path to a reliable energy future lies not in top-down mandates, but in innovation, cooperation, and respect for the institutions that safeguard our freedoms.” — Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Director of the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment at The Heritage Foundation This is not an article about technology but about policy, which allows, disallows, promotes, […]
As anyone slightly informed about physics knows, matter within the spacetime continuum cannot move at or beyond the speed of light. (It’s a lot more complicated than that, but let’s not get into the weeds…) As anyone slightly informed about Star Trek knows, the way around this is to generate a warp field/bubble with a […]
“The formula goes like this: 1. Evolution is true. 2. Here’s how it must have happened. 3. Look, yet more proof of evolution.” — author and biophysicist Cornelius G. Hunter David Coppedge’s latest article at “Evolution News and Science Today” is sure to cause a stir. Coppedge prefaces it with the following: “This article will […]
I re-read Michael Denton’s Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1986) recently. When he wrote the book, Denton, an agnostic, was an Australian medical doctor and scientist doing biological research in Sydney. It was one of my favorite books when I was reading a lot on the evolution/creation/ID “debate” back in the 2000s, and I wanted […]
“Indirects are just ways for wealthy academic hospitals to pocket money that their investigators won and then create slush for those who are incapable of getting funded on their own. It’s a huge grift and great place for cuts.” — David Whelan, a healthcare consultant and former healthcare writer for Forbes Last week, I wrote […]
As I did for my first post in 2023, I have considered the AVftR posts of the previous two years and picked the top ones. Specifically, by either the importance of the subject and/or my having written (rather than cited) the bulk of the content, I thought these posts were the best ones I put […]
I thought it might be fun to share a few of the YouTube channels that I go to for information in the areas that I typically blog about. In this case, in the “science and technology” arena. (However, I don’t think I’ve ever actually blogged on something I found on one of these channels.) In […]
One of the “evidences” for a young Earth that some Young Earth Creationists (YEC) like to present these days is the existence of paintings and carvings on stones (and maybe cave walls) that look a lot — or even just somewhat — like dinosaurs. (Or, at least, how dinosaurs are portrayed by modern artists. That’s […]
“These are the faces of women who died because they could not obtain safe and legal abortions. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, these pictures could include your daughter, sister, mother, best friend, granddaughter.” — found on home page (in 2005) for the website of the National Organization for Women (NOW) when Justice O’Connor announced […]
