The Point of Singularity (The Big Bang), and Darwinian macro-evolution: The Thoughts of a Disordered Brain

The Point of Singularity (The Big Bang), and Darwinian macro-evolution: Such an extravagant fancy as this can only possess the thoughts of a disordered brain.

"2. The production of the world could not be by chance. It was indeed the extravagant fancy of some ancient philosophers, that the origin of the world was from a fortuitous concourse of atoms, which were in perpetual motion in an immense space, till at last a sufficient number of them met in such a happy conjunction as formed the universe in the beautiful order in which we now behold it. But it is amazingly strange how such a wild opinion, which can never be reconciled with reason, could ever find any entertainment in a human mind. Can any man rationally conceive, that a confused rout of atoms, of diverse natures and forms, and some so far distant from others, should ever meet in such a fortunate manner, as to form an entire world, so vast in the bigness, so distinct in the order, so united in the diversities of natures, so regular in the variety of changes, and so beautiful in the whole composure? Such an extravagant fancy as this can only possess the thoughts of a disordered brain.—Thomas Boston, 1677-1732. From: Vol 01 The whole works of Thomas Boston wholeworksoflate01bost

Kamala Harris DOES Have A Policies Web Site!

Come on Media — mainstream, midstream, downstream, liberal or conservative, whatever you want to call yourselves — quit propagating the idea that Kamala Harris does not have policies on the inter-web. If you want to know what her priorities are and what she has accomplished, maybe take a look at these two pages on the Biden-Harris  Accomplishments and Priorities ?  Allow me to give you some interpretive guidance and advice: First, if it is not on her Top Accomplishments list, it's probably not a priority for her. Second, if it is not on her Priorities list, it's not something she really intends to accomplish. Third, try to keep in mind that just because someone lists an accomplishment does not mean there is direct, empirical or even circumstantial evidence that it has been accomplished. Accomplishments Take, for instance, the Biden-Harris claim to "Lowering Costs of Everyday Expenses," accompanied by a detailed, cartoon-esque graphic that probably cost upwards of ten...

Naomi Wolf, Rush Limbaugh and "The End of America"

Until Tucker Carlson of Fox News resurrected her on this date (Feb 22, 2021) to discuss a book she wrote in 2007, it must have been, what, 5, 10, maybe 15 years since I heard or thought about Naomi Wolf. Ironically, Ms. Wolf originally rose to prominence at a time when Rush Limbaugh was in his meteoric ascendance on Talk Radio, and as I recall he had plenty to say about her "femi-nazi" ways.  This post is not about Rush Limbaugh, but I do wonder if he read Ms. Wolf's "The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot" and, if so, how he received it when it was written, and if, within the past 14 years, he reflected on what she wrote. I can imagine that many conservatives would have rejected out of hand anything she wrote because of her liberal feminist leanings. At the time, the book probably was written off by many as merely Bush-bashing or conservative hating. But after hearing her on Mr. Carlson's show I purchased the e-book version and immediat...

Accomplishments on Trial: You Decide

-

  Take a look at what Trump claims to have accomplished, then compare it against what Biden-Harris claim to have accomplished. Let’s put their accomplishments on trial. In a trial, there is “ Direct Evidence” and “ Circumstantial Evidence.” Direct Evidence are things that you can measure, see, and touch. Circumstantial Evidence are things that you “feel” are true based on circumstances and your best observation, but things for which there is no direct proof. Which of the two candidates wins the trial? Which one has the most “Direct Evidence?” Which one has the most “Circumstantial Evidence?” Or, perhaps there is one candidate who has the most Direct AND the most Circumstantial Evidence. You decide. For each so-called “accomplishment,” ask yourself five questions: First, “Is this an accomplishment that really matters to me, to my family, and to the country?” Second, “Is there Direct Evidence to support the claim, such as official government statistics, things that you and others...
