Faith & Politics

A prayer to remember:
“Lord our Heavenly Father, High and Mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech thee, on these our American States, who [...]

Run God’s race

Competition is in the air with the Olympic coverage streaming almost 24/7. I cannot run a sub-ten second 100-meter sprint, but am pretty competitive with many things in my life. My USAF career will soar (pun intended) if I rank higher than my peers. We’re literally scored #1 down through the lowest [...]

Thoughts on the Eucharist

In my last post “Catholic Mom” presented very thoughtful dialogue I’d like to continue in a separate post. While I don’t want to attack the Catholic church or Catholics (I’m convinced Catholics go to Heaven every day!) the topic of communion is worth further exploration.
One of the links Catholic Mom provided discussed John 6:48-57…I [...]

Louisiana Senate Bill 561 – Another State Fighting for Academic Freedom

Another academic freedom bill is out there, this time in Louisiana.
It seems that lots of folks are interested in expanding the coverage of scientific topics in classrooms across the nation. I think this is a good thing.
Eugenie Scott and her friends at the NCSE (the folks who want to keep you from questioning Darwinism) are [...]

Why do I advocate Homeschooling?

The battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: A religion of humanity — utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to carry humanist values into wherever they teach. The classroom must and will become [...]

Creationism Debate Exported to Britain

The LA Times reported on March 15 that creationists are pushing to have alternative views of origins taught in Britain. That’s and encouraging development for Europe considering the sway humanism holds over there.
I’m not an advocate for forcing educators to teach creationism, Intelligent Design, or evolution if they don’t want to but I do believe [...]

ACLU Offers to Protect Intelligent Designers, Creationists

I Believe In Gravity and that the World Is Not Flat

Joe Wolf, president of Florida Citizens for Science was quoted on March 12th in an AP News story  as saying that “evolution  is as widely accepted as the law of gravity in the scientific world.”
Joe – I’m sick of effectively being lumped in with flat-earthers because I’m incredulous about some aspects of Darwinism. True, I [...]
