I just got an e-mail from the Center for Bioethical Reform, and they provided two interesting facts about abortion in the United States:
-Did you know that since 1973, more than twice as many blacks have died from abortion than from heart disease, cancer, accidents, violent crimes and AIDS combined?
-Did you know that Blacks make up [...]
Randy Alcorn posted a great piece on his blog, Eternal Perspectives, the other day. It deals with same sex marriage and the reasons we should oppose it.
A few excerpts:
…Marriage has been the societal building block for millennia; it has developed as the method by which cultures pass on, from generation to generation, who and what [...]
I understand John Piper is a fairly well-known pastor. I’ve not personally heard any of his sermons, but I’ve met several bloggers who like him. The following commentary on his blog is weird, though, to say the least.
What do the supreme court ruling on guns and the martyrdom of missionaries have to do with each [...]
The Shroud of Turin is back in the news. John Jackson, a physics lecturer at the University of Colorado contends that the results of the carbon dating tests done back in the 80’s are suspect because of possible contamination.
You can count me among the skeptics, but I am still fascinated by the shroud nonetheless. I [...]
The question was posed at Uncommon Descent in response to a survey.
Personally, I am absolutely convinced that there are no sentient extraterrestrials out there (I’m undecided as to whether or not I think there might be unintelligent life on other planets). I agree with one of the commenters at UD who said,
The problem is that [...]
The empty tomb is not to be overlooked. It is one of the most (if not the most) important evidences of Jesus’ resurrection. The most convincing evidence to me, however, is the testimony of his disciples. I hope and I pray that my faith is strong enough that I would die before denying that Jesus [...]
23% (the largest percentage) of those who responded to a poll on WorldNetDaily about which day Christians should regard as the Sabbath said “Sunday.” I was joined by only 7% who said “Any day of one’s own choosing.” Literally speaking, I don’t see how anyone could argue that the Sabbath is any other day than [...]
Does God predestine us or do we choose him of our own free will? As pointed out by J.P. Holding at Tektonics, the question boils down to a dichotomy: “Does God foreknow because he foreordains or does he foreordain because he foreknows?” I tend to believe the latter. In a very loose sense, I believe [...]
How many times have you heard that monotheism is the source of the world’s problems? Monotheists like Christians, Jews and Muslims are supposedly the root of all evil. If only everyone could be as open-minded as the polytheists there wouldn’t be religious violence, they say. One only needs to look to India to see that [...]
People say that Huckabee is not a fiscal conservative. I’m not so sure he is a social conservative, either:
Mr. Huckabee’s record of being soft on convicted criminals is harder to avoid. His role as an ordained Southern Baptist minister appears to have guided his actions when it came to forgiving criminals.
“I would not deny that [...]
