This is the second entry in my series citing Rescuing Inerrancy: A Scientific Defense (2023) by Dr. Hugh Ross. The matter of concordism/concordance between the words of Scripture and what can be seen in nature, and in particular whether or not this is a valid thing to expect or seek, is somewhat controversial even among […]
“Look carefully into the Scriptures, which are the true utterances of the Holy Spirit. Observe that nothing of an unjust or counterfeit character is written in them.” — Clement of Rome (ca. AD 35-99) Not long ago, I finished reading Rescuing Inerrancy: A Scientific Defense by Dr. Hugh Ross. I generally try to read books […]
“[I]f you have an existing nuke, keep it open if you can. I think most people are agnostic on new nuclear, hoping that the next generation of reactors might pan out but fearing that they’ll be too expensive.” — Bill McKibben, author, activist, founder of 350.org If this topic sounds vaguely familiar, it might be […]
“[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 […]
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”. […]
This week on Science Sunday… The following citation is another from Improbable Planet by Hugh Ross, specifically the 14th chapter, “Finishing Touches”. In this particular section, Ross looks at extinction during the Devonian period and speciation during the Carboniferous. It is all fascinating, especially when one considers the multitude of factors involved that had to […]
Let’s end the year with some cool science, OK? Would you be surprised if I told you that the following citation comes from the book Improbable Planet (2016) by Hugh Ross? (I didn’t think so.) In Chapter 12 Ross talks about the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system for the amazing edifice we call “Earth”. […]
Transgender activism is everywhere these days. If we aren’t careful, we can get inured to this aspect of the Leftist agenda. We can forget what it is they promote — what they do and why they do it. Yes, I know some think that talking of such things is conspiracy-minded nuttiness. So, allow me to […]
