Screenshot from Kindle of a page from The Illuminated Hope and the Black Lion Do you really understand the spiritual warfare taking place in publishing? Christian publishers and bookstores are, to put it mildly, not very Christian anymore. There is a desperate need to make writers aware that secularism is a real and powerful enemy … Continue reading The Hows (And Whys) of E-Books

The quote "Nature red in tooth and claw" comes from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's very long series of poems "In Memoriam A.H.H," completed in 1849. Many evolutionists quote this phrase in support of their ideas of natural selection. When he began to write this poem, Tennyson questioned God's love and sovereignty over nature because of the … Continue reading Nature Red in Tooth and Claw
"Secular Humanism: Religious Mythology" is lettered on my computer bag. So "What is Secular Humanism?" The quick, simple answer is that it is the religion of self-indulgence with no possible consequences for the way we live in any kind of life after death. Beginning somewhere around the Kennedy administration, Secular Humanists learned that if they … Continue reading Secular Humanism: America’s Establishment of Religion
It's hard to say when people began writing fiction, but it has been used for millennia to communicate truth. Seems strange to say that something that isn't true can teach truth, but good fiction always has done that. Using characters, settings or events that didn't actually happen, writers create a vehicle by which to make … Continue reading Principles of Writing Fiction
All quotes, unless otherwise noted, are by Stephen Hawking from his book A Brief History of Time. "A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements: It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and it must make definite … Continue reading The Religion of Physics IV: What is “Scientific Evidence?”
14. What Does The Scientific Evidence Prove?“I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science.” Charles Darwin1 “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” John Adams2 “In the space … Continue reading Chapter Fourteen from Antidisestablishmentarianism: What Does the Scientific Evidence Prove?
There are two ways to rewrite history. The common lie is ineffective. The amazingly effective method is far more difficult. Simply eliminate any information which contradicts what you are attempting to promote. Never tell any outright lie, simply be very selective in what you allow your audience to hear. Secular Humanists always start from the … Continue reading The Religion of Physics III: Hawking Rewrites History
"We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."1 Stephen Hawking "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, … Continue reading The Religion of Physics II: The High Priest Pontificates
"I put a lot of effort into writing A Briefer History [of Time] at a time when I was critically ill with pneumonia because I think that it's important for scientists to explain their work, particularly in cosmology. This now answers many questions once asked of religion."1 "What I have done is to show that … Continue reading The Religion of Physics I: What Is Physics?
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.1 John Adams Sometime in the early twentieth century, Secular Humanist indoctrination convinced almost everyone in the United States that "an establishment of religion" in the first phrase of … Continue reading Introduction to Antidisestablishmentarianism
Little did I know when my husband asked me to write on this subject that not only has it already been done, it's been done by skeptics. Skeptical Investigations.org is website reports on psychic phenomena and other experimental science. These are not Christians. The Amazing Meeting (TAM) London October 16th-17th 2010 is an article by … Continue reading Skeptical of the Skeptics
"The Holy Scripture cannot err, ... the decrees therein contained are absolutely true and inviolable. But I should have in your place added that, though Scripture cannot err, its expounders and interpreters are liable to err in many ways," Galileo said in a 1613 letter to Benedetto Castelli. Anyone who dismisses the possibility of the … Continue reading What Did The Ark Of Noah Look Like?
After the death of Virgil in the First Century BC, the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar posthumously published his Aeneid. Caesar Augustus loved this book because it took the history of Rome, romanticized it and treated it as "prophecy." Virgil built on an existing legend about the founding of Rome. He expanded a story around that … Continue reading Giants, Genetics and Original Sin
A message to parents and students: Never, ever, ever read a book, watch a movie, or see or hear a play or story or poem performed without answering these questions:(Don't read a book to your child or let anyone read a book to you without doing this, either.) Do "wise" and "good" people in the … Continue reading Analyze, Analyze, Analyze
The most religious people on earth are those who claim not to have any religion. Dogmatic, intolerant, and bigoted, they refuse to allow anyone to so much as speak their opposition. Yet these same people demand political power and tax support. The mildest opposition, such as the mere mention of Intelligent Design (not God), has … Continue reading Preface to Antidisestablishmentarianism
I believe in denominations. You actually believe in denominations too. You don't? Then give me your $20 bill for my $1 bill. Not that kind of denomination? I believe that the word denomination is used the same way with money and with faith. Both a $1 bill and a $100 bill are money. One is … Continue reading Why I Am A Baptist
Every good writing teacher tells us to narrow our topic because the sure sign of a novice is a paper entitled "The Universe and Everything in It." Yet The Conflict of the Ages can rightfully include every thought every man has ever made. Augustine's City of God, John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion and … Continue reading The Conflict of the Ages
Today we Christians hear many messages designed to make us feel better, and above all to be easy to digest (understand, absorb), like chicken soup. Much "feel good" Christian teaching is, however, not biblical. I Corinthians 3:1 says, "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as … Continue reading What’s Elk Jerky for the Soul?
