While Egypt might be famous for the Pyramids, Rome noted for its roads, aqueducts, coliseums, and Greece celebrated for its philosophers and contributions to medicine, invention and the scientific method are almost exclusively a western enterprise that grew out of a Christian worldview. While not all the great scientists were

The Bible tells us that the world is a rational place in which to live. The world runs by fixed and predictable laws. This is why it can be studied, investigated, and analyzed with the assurance that what’s true today will be true tomorrow. Is it any wonder that science, music, and the

Since 1980 I have worked as a researcher and writer for American Vision (AV). Periodically AV gets some interesting correspondence from people who don’t like what we do. Most of the really bad stuff comes in the form of anonymous letters and emails. In the early days, people would leave

An article in GQ magazine written by the editors declares that the Bible is one of 21 books that you don’t need to read. It’s 12th on the list and the description by Jesse Ball begins with the following comment: The Holy Bible is rated very highly by all the

Atheists are great at being atheists when they only talk to other atheists or construct strawman theists and show how easy it is to set them on fire. The latest example is in the premiere episode of the second season of HBO’s Crashing. A conversation develops between Penn Jillette and Pete (who appears

This kind of news drives the liberals crazy. I find it delightful…

Governments can perform illegal acts. Not everything a government does is moral or justified. Just because a government says something is right and good does not make it so. There was a time when it was OK to enslave people. In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled that killing unborn babies

Not only is Bill Nye not a scientist, but he’s also not an historian or a student of the United States Constitution. Anybody can make any written document say anything if portions of it are taken out of context. It’s done with the Bible all the time. The second most misquoted and

Rick Santorum is the latest Republican presidential hopeful that either refuses to answer the question or can’t answer the question about whether same-sex attraction and action are innate. Scott Walker and Marco Rubio have also waffled on the issue or at least not having a good answer to the question:

How many times have we heard liberals shout it from the roof tops that conservatives are anti-science? It’s like the war on women meme. There’s no evidence supporting either claim, but they keep using them since if you repeat a lie often enough some (many?) people will end up believing

There was the war to end all wars (that gave us more wars); the war on poverty (that gave us more poverty); the war on women; and now National Geographic magazine is pushing “the war on science” narrative. The March 2015 issue of National Geographic published the article “The Age of

NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Dr. Ben Carson the following question: “You’re a famed neurosurgeon, the best — some say — the best pediatric neurosurgeon living in the world today. You’re a man of deep faith. Explain how science and religion, in your mind, co-exist.” Chuck Todd should be asking how

The media continue to pounce on Gov. Scott Walker for not dealing with an out-of-context question about evolution at the end of an hour-long appearance at the prestigious Chatham House think tank in London where he was on a trade mission. What does a question about evolution have to do

While doing my daily research, I came across an advertisement for a t-shirt that reads as follows: Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings. This can be easily turned around by making the point that science gave us atomic weapons. Religion says ‘love your neighbor.’ Science

The folks at the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) want to rid the country of every vestige of religion from every facet of society and make the nation officially atheistic. They contend that the Constitution requires it based on a tortured reading of the First Amendment and a rewriting of

The following story is getting some traction. I suspect there are other stories like this about which parents never hear a thing. They don’t know what their children are being taught or what they’re not being taught. “Cassidy Vines recently began noticing a change in her daughter’s behavior. The kindergartener began

There have been stories of reputable scientists who have been fired or denied tenure because they do not hold to the theory of evolution. Was there anything wrong with their science? No. It’s that they did not believe in a molecules-to-man origin theory, a completely rational and scientific belief. See

When my oldest son was a senior in high school, I was asked to teach a class on Christian worldview and apologetics. It was the first year of operation for the school. Typically a school’s first year includes students from different backgrounds. Since the school is desperate for students in
