"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
Elk Jerky for the Soul: It's tough, but you need it!
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?
One of the saddest lessons I learned about modern culture is the fact that many people jump to conclusions without reading more than one or two lines. The facebook post "A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left," Ecclesiastes 10:2, created a firestorm. Solomon wrote this 3000 … Continue reading Right and Left
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
Men's minds and thinking are getting shallower all the time, but it's wrong to blame that on the Internet. Many things are just as powerful as the Internet in changing our lives and our thought patterns. Rock music, television, video games and addiction (alcoholism) still play a greater role in "shallowing" the mind than the … Continue reading Book Review of The Shallows, What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, by Nicholas Carr
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?
Our daughter told me about a Bible study where the teacher mentioned Proverbs 31 and said something like, "We all know that the Virtuous Woman is an ideal. She's too good to be true." Suppose a military commander gives his troop an order. The men whisper to the lieutenant, "Permission to fail, sir?" The lieutenant … Continue reading Permission to Fail?
Proverbs Chapter Eight is absolutely amazing. We try to read through Proverbs day by day each month and this one just stops me in my tracks every time. Why does God say that wisdom is a woman? I don't know. A friend commented on the fact that Proverbs is mostly advice from father to son. … Continue reading Wisdom Says, “Can You Hear Me Now?”
"But if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. ..." The fox to the Little Prince in the story of that name by Antoine de Sainte-Exupery People have tried to make me like The Little Prince for many years. I have read excerpts from it. Usually I don't even respond when people … Continue reading Comments on The Little Prince by Antoine de Sainte-Exupery
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:23-25 An oft-stated goal of Secular Humanism is to put every citizen in slavery by debt. They conceal this … Continue reading Who Do You Serve?
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
Psalm 45 is a beautiful passage of Scripture. It describes a king which certainly seems to be the Messiah, Jesus Christ. In verse nine it begins to talk about women, and there are lessons for Christian women and their earthly relationships with men and others in the descriptions found here. First, though, we witness the … Continue reading All Glorious Within
