In a recent email from The Dispatch, Scott Lincicome wrote an article titled “Offshore Headwinds” about the ambitious “green” plans by Leftists in the U.S. and the reality checks they are experiencing in their attempts to implement them. As one who has been skeptical of climate change alarmism (and the proposed “solutions”) from the beginning […]
As I mentioned in my recent “Why a Spiral Galaxy?” post, I have been slowly working my way through Improbable Planet (2016), in which Dr. Hugh Ross reviews the increasing evidence of fine-tuning in situating and preparing planet Earth for humanity. Using the analogy of building a large and complex edifice, Ross’s eighth chapter is […]
“Turkeys get a bad rap.” — Jeanne Piga-Plunkett, registered dietitian at The University of Texas Health Science Center School of Public Health My fellow Americans… Many of you may be anticipating eating lots of turkey (along with assorted side dishes) this Thanksgiving holiday. This meal is often accompanied by a drowsiness and possible nap, which […]
Let’s “do” a little science-ing today, shall we? I have had the book Improbable Planet by Hugh Ross in my bookcase for a few years but only now got around to reading it. Well, actually, I’m only part-way through it. But, I already found a nice snippet in the beginning chapters that I wanted to […]
As my regular readers know, I am a conservative Christian with an interest in Christian apologetics. It is both interesting and frustrating to see some of the stuff that well-meaning people have put on the internet in order to answer a challenge to their “faith” and/or to put an atheist or other non-Christian in his/her […]
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 […]
“[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? […]
