Al Gore Slapdown

Al Gore, once a presidential hopeful turned environmental end times prophet, has repeatedly told the world that the debate concerning global warming is over, that science has confirmed his prediction of Armageddon unless mankind repents. His infomovie, An Inconvienient Truth, lays out the science Gore proposes as the current state of knowledge on the subject. [...]

Science and Religion

Here’s a link to an article from Commentary Magazine by Leon Kass, former advisor to President GW Bush and one of my favorite philosophers, regarding the nature of science and its relationship to religion. The substantive limits of science follow from certain fundamental aspects of scientific knowledge and from science’s assumptions about what sorts of [...]

FLASH!:Liberal Journalist Sees Hollywood “Moral Hypocrisy”

No, this does not represent a rare moment of non-emotive clear logic on the part of the liberal media.

She is a nominal Catholic and former novice who left her religious order when she disagreed with certain Catholic teachings. She had dedicated her life to the distruction of other lives through her advocacy of abortion. She deserves your vote as one who [...]

Plants are People Too

I’m not sure why these kinds of articles and opinions bother me, but here’s another in a long parade of articles challenging humans as exceptional. Unlike others which seek to elevate animals to “people” status (or conversely lower humans to but one many unexceptional animal species on Earth), this one seems to imply that humans are [...]
