Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation - Part 4
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One piece of evidence of Biblical Creation that has gotten better as the topic has been researched is planetary magnetic fields. Called “Dynamic Decay Theory,” this model started with the observed decay in the Earth's magnetic field, and it has led to a complete model planetary magnetic field. This model not only explains aspects of these magnetic fields that the uniformitarian dynamo theory cannot explain, but it also does a better job predicting planetary magnetic fields.

The Dust Off Patriotism of Patrick Grady
On December 24, 2023, the Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association (AVVBA) released a 47-minute video, entitled The Truths and Myths of the Vietnam War. The video is introduced by Academy Award-nominated actor Sam Elliot. The first section of the video beginning at about one minute and 14 seconds and lasting a little over a minute features retired Army Major General Patrick Henry Grady, a Vietnam Medal of Honor recipient, explaining the significance of the Vietnam War and the importance of understanding it on a factual and truthful basis. In a later portion of the video, beginning at 9 minutes and 10 seconds , he narrates many of the tremendous and unprecedented humanitarian accomplishments of the American military in Vietnam, but which were largely ignored by the media. He has often said that “humanitarianism was our great victory in that war.”
What Have You – What Have I – “Earned”?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Before we begin our foray into this topic, let’s examine how Webster’s Dictionary defines the word: “earn”:
- To receive as return for effort and especially for work done or services rendered; to bring in by way of return;
- To come to be duly worthy of or entitled or suited to—i.e. ‘she earned a promotion’;
- To make worthy of or obtain for—i.e. ‘the suggestion earned him a promotion.
Seems pretty cut and dried, doesn’t it? But what does it really take to “earn” something? Obviously it takes an expenditure of time and/or effort. Often an outlay of money is involved, as in investing in more education in order to “earn” a higher income in future years (or so it used to be). According to the dictionary definitions above, there are also non-monetary ways of “earning” something, such as earning another person’s trust. This type of “earning” requires a degree of character that is sometimes more difficult to attain, and can be more challenging to accomplish.
King's Dream for 2024
- Details
- By Alveda King
New Year 2024 begins with the observance of the Annual Martin Luther King Holiday LET FREEDOM RING, followed quickly by the Annual March for Life. I believe if my uncle were here, he would remind us to "learn to live together as brothers [and sisters] and not perish together as fools."
As to the March for Life, I'm reminded of Uncle M. L.'s words in his last Christmas sermon: "When we value the human personality, we won't kill anybody." Human life and human dignity matter; from the womb to the tomb and beyond.
If at all possible, and where applicable, we should focus more on The Gospel of Jesus Christ rather than politics. Let your dreams, visions, prayers and plans align with God's Plan for you. That includes voting responsibly; for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Populist Politicians Aren't So Divided on Economic Issues, and That's Bad News
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
The political landscape is often portrayed as deeply polarized. The two sides, it is said, can't agree on anything. Even worse, if one side supports a position, that's reason enough for the other to oppose it. While this picture is largely true for cultural issues, the rise of populism on the right is making some of the two parties' economic policies remarkably similar. That's bad news for Americans.
In a new piece for The Unpopulist, Rachel Kleinfeld reminds us that until recently it was relatively straightforward to categorize economic and political systems. Economically, they ranged from left-wing to right-wing, while politically, they varied from authoritarian to democratic. Most American businesses could easily stake out their position. They generally favored right-leaning economic policies -- relatively free markets -- which included business-friendly regulations and management-centric approaches.
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation - Part 3
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
For the first actual piece of evidence for the Biblical creation we will discuss the single biggest piece of evidence for the Genesis Flood. That piece of evidence is the fossil record. But the fossil record is used to support evolution you may say. It is true that is because they interpret it under the presupposition of universal common descent evolution. At its core, the fossil record is actually a record of the Genesis Flood.
To understand how the fossil record is fundamentally evidence for the Genesis Flood, it is first necessary to understand that this flood if it occurred would have been global in scale and not some teeny weenie local flood. Then it is necessary to consider what would be the primary thing we would expect if there had been a global flood sometime in the past. The primary piece of evidence would be billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the Earth. This is actually a perfect description of the fossil record.
Ballot-Blocking by States - Blue Versus Trump and Red Versus Biden
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
In a truly federal structure, any constituent member — whether a state or province or canton or whatever -- has the constitutional right — rooted ultimately in the sacred right of self-preservation and self-protection -- to block or to bar from the election ballot candidates it deems inimical to its interests.
This fundamental political right -- once clear and universally understood in America — is now unclear because, in the 1860s — by force of arms rather than by voluntary consent — the United States stopped being a free republic and became instead a centralized and consolidated "indivisible" empire.
