In my prior post, I showed the inconsistencies in the notion that all life evolved from one single point, notably out of the sea. For the sake of argument, let's assume that it happened as the scientific explanation claims. As time passes, things get bigger, and eventually we end up with dinosaurs. That is, until … Continue reading The Atheists’ Faith, Part 4 (of 4) →

In my prior post, I explained the unlikeliness (impossibility?) of simple, organic atoms randomly combining to get living DNA, and then the even more unlikelier leap to single-cell organisms. This week, the cells have to become lots of things. Assuming that our young Earth is filled with all different types of self-reproducing cells, and that … Continue reading The Atheists’ Faith, Part 3 (of 4) →

For a good analysis on the real-life implications of that, see Prof. Ken Homa’s analysis. The Church has been consistently against the … Continue reading On Abortion →

Today is “Good” Friday, the day we recognize Jesus’s death on the cross.  Growing up, I never understood what was so “good” about it.  It seemed to me the death of our Lord and Savior would be a “bad” thing, right?  Setting aside why it was happening, any day that begins with scourging and ends … Continue reading One Last Request →
