I am seeking literature that describes the notion of equality and distinguishes it from equity. I am seeing so much “redefinition” of these terms lately and I wish to engage in civil discourse on these topics. I want to be able to discuss these concepts with people knowing that I have the strength of knowledge behind anything that I might say.In addition, if there are any biblical references that clarify either of these concepts, this would be an extremely valuable addition.Can you help me by … [Read more...]
Dangers of the Next Generation Science Standards
Over the past decade and more, a serious threat has arisen to the education of America’s children. For generations America’s public schools have indoctrinated our children with the dogma of Darwinism: life arose and developed by chance, no Creator involved. Now they’re indoctrinating them with another dogma: catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW)—and with it a whole catalog of other exaggerated and sometimes completely fictitious environmental concerns, all of them used as rationales … [Read more...]
Newly Released Survey Revealing Evangelicals Most Skeptical About “Climate Change” Is Evidence of Cornwall Alliance’s Influence
On November 17, the Pew Research Center released the results of a new survey about Americans’ views on the environment, particularly climate change.Pew’s report on the survey results says they showed that “highly religious Americans overwhelmingly say God gave humans a duty to protect and care for the Earth, but far fewer see climate change as a serious problem.” Specifically: 92% (including 86% of evangelicals) say God gave us that duty, but only 42 percent consider climate change an … [Read more...]
Welcome to Cold War II
Trying to Save the Planetfrom the People Who Are Trying to Save the PlanetTwo scenes from my toddlerhood in Calcutta, India, have flashed in my mind thousands of times over the last 60-plus years. The first was of a beautiful tree with a red-flowered vine hanging from its branches. The second was of the emaciated bodies of people who had died overnight of starvation and disease.I saw the tree and its vine as my aia, or nurse, led me by the hand through the courtyard of the building housing my … [Read more...]
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIn an article on the Reformation21 website titled, “When ‘If You Give a Mouse a Cookie’ Is All the Logic Left,” Justin Poythress, Pastor of All Saints Presbyterian Church in Boise, ID, offers some wise caution about the typical way in which people try to persuade each other. His words are particularly relevant to much of what goes by the name of persuasion about environmental issues, including among Christians. Here I will quote him at length and then apply … [Read more...]
He Literally Walks on Water!
Matthew 14:25“Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.”Would you like to be able to walk on water the way Jesus did? The closest human beings have come to walking on water is water skiing, which some even do without skis. But they still need a powerful and noisy power boat to do it. But there is an animal that can walk on water without help of any kind.The basilisk lizard is yet another tribute to God’s unlimited creativity, knowledge and power. … [Read more...]

Fauci’s War on Science: The Smoking Gun
Editor's Note: [The politicization and corruption of science is a huge threat to human wellbeing. Real science has been integral to overcoming innumerable threats to health, life, prosperity, and even liberty. Politicized science erodes public confidence in real science. The Cornwall Alliance has been pointing this out particularly as it relates to climate change and energy, but the same is true in other areas, too—particularly, over the last two years, the Covid pandemic and competing views … [Read more...]
Latest Discoveries in the Field of Structural Biology Point to Intelligent Design
The August 9, 2021 edition of Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN) featured a story in the field of structural biology entitled “How Transcription Gets Its Start.” Transcription is the biochemical process that occurs in every cell in the human body when protein synthesis is initiated. It is a complex series of steps that begin in the nucleus when a gene—a section on a strand of DNA—expresses instructions for a specific protein to be produced. In … [Read more...]
Louisiana Religious Climate Activists Might Want to Check the Data
One can't help admiring the motives of many religious leaders alarmed about human-induced climate change. From the Pope to the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury to leaders of the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish faiths, many express their angst that climate change is an "existential threat" to humanity, especially the poor, and to all life on Earth.But sometimes one wishes they would combine some knowledge of basic data with their good intentions.An AP story published today, "Faith groups … [Read more...]
