This is my column that is running today at TownHall.com. I’ll post more on this later because 800 words is not enough to cover this very controversial topic. Why not legalize same-sex marriage? Who could it possibly hurt? Children and the rest of society. That’s the conclusion of David Blankenhorn, who is anything but an […]
As we remember those who have paid the ultimate price to defend our country, I think a letter from President Abraham Lincoln will help us feel the impact of what Memorial Day really means to those who have lost loved ones. On November 21, 1864, President Lincoln wrote these words to Mrs. Lydia Bixby of […]
Following the California Supreme Court decision last week, I posed four questions about Same-Sex Marriage that have generated quite a lot of discussion. It seems many people are operating on emotion rather than reason on this issue. Most of us know and like homosexuals, and that can cloud our reasoning. One of the cloudy areas is the […]
Now that the California Supreme Court has usurped the will of the people by striking down their democratically-decided law, there is sure to be a debate over the next few months about the merits of Same-Sex Marriage. The issue may even make it to the ballot box in November in the form of a California Constitutional […]

DB: We shouldn’t. But asking someone like Richard Dawkins about […]
Thomas Sowell continues his brilliant insights into the current presidential campaign. Speaking of Barack Obama’s comments on how average folk in small towns are “bitter” and “cling to guns or religion,” Sowell points out: In politics, the clearer a statement is, the more certain it is to be followed by a “clarification,” when people react adversely to what was […]
Dr. Mike Adams is at it again talking about the work we’re doing here at CrossExamined.org: Forward this Column or Get Stuck on Stupid. Thanks Mike for making Christian Apologetics mainstream!
The discussion on this blog has lately turned to the question of whether or not Intelligent Design is science (see comments on recent posts). To generate some more discussion, I offer the following post adapted from Chapter 6 of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist: The Darwinists= claim that Intelligent Design is not science cannot be determined from science […]
The following is from I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, pages 92-93: In light of all the evidence for a beginning of the space-time universe, the Beginner must be outside the space-time universe. When God is suggested as the Beginner, atheists are quick to ask the age-old question, “Then who made God? If everything […]
