Gay Animals: An Albatross of an Argument
In a lame attempt to justify same-sex marriage, Google News linked to this story from an LA Times blog. According to the story, some female albatrosses may be coupling and caring for offspring together after the dead-beat daddy albatross has left. This animals-do-it argument is seriously put forth by homosexual activists. Yes, some animals engage […]
The Religion in Science
If current Big Bang cosmology is correct (and the evidence is very good that it is) then the entire space-time universe exploded into being out of nothing (see previous posts God and the Astronomers and Who Made God? ). Therefore, the Cause of the universe would seem to have these attributes: · spaceless because it […]
Gay Marriage: Even Liberals Know It’s Bad
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 […]
The Altar of Freedom
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 […]

The issue may even make it to the ballot box in November in the form of a California Constitutional […]

Greg Koukl and Brett Kunkle of Stand to Reason, and Jason Reed of Southern Evangelical Seminary will join me, Frank […]
Berlinski: An argument against Religion is an argument against Math
David Berlinski, a secular Jew and author of The Devil’s Delusion (a great read, I might add), interviewed himself a couple of years ago here, and had this exchange with himself: … But why should we take seriously religious beliefs that are lacking in evidence? DB: We shouldn’t. But asking someone like Richard Dawkins about […]
Obscuring Clear Statements with "Clarifications"
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 […]
