Can Science Answer Everything?
Dear Friends, It seems to me, there are things that science just cannot understand, nor can it ever, and the more it tries, the more understanding escapes it. Take a bug for example. An entomologist can explain everything there is to know about the form, color and substance. He or she can wax poetic on their life styles, three part bodies, except for arachnids, and how they enhance the habitat. Perhaps she can even decode a bug’s DNA. Nevertheless, the more in depth his or her knowledge of insects and arachnids, the less they understand bugs. Because… a bug, horse or salamander, can only be really understood intuitively. Science does reduction well and intuition poorly. Because really creative scientists are scattered in a Pareto distribution while most are conscientious and closed minded.

Are Jews White? Let’s ask Whoopi
Is Race Real?Simply put, no. It is now the consensus among academics that the concept of race is a social construct that simply has no biological or scientific basis. This means that the way we often speak about different “races” is essentially an artifact of arbitrary societal beliefs that are particular to a given society and time period.Indeed, race has been defined in radically different ways across the many different societies that have existed in the past and that exist today. Did the genocides in Darfur, Rwanda, and other places in Africa between different black people groups, not have anything to do with race? Of course they did, they just have different(socially constructed) ideas about what race means than we might have. This is an incredibly important insight, especially for Americans whose perspective on the world around them tends to be filtered through the American...
How Serious is the West about Countering Russian Aggression
Since 2014 successive U.S. administrations have attempted to cajole the Kremlin to cease its destabilizing activities in Europe and elsewhere. The United States, in conjunction with the European Union, has targeted numerous individuals and organizations with sanctions to pressure the Kremlin to halt its activities but has had little to no success in doing so. The United States and the European Union have been reluctant to impose sanctions that adversely impact the whole of the Russian economy, or the effects of which would ripple out into the global economy, especially in Europe. Sanctions have instead targeted persons and organizations directly associated with the malign activity. This methodology has not produced results, as the Russian economy has made modest gains, and the targeted organizations and individuals have managed to survive. While there is little information on exactly...
The Deformed Reformed Church
I remember I had a class with the president of Reformed Theological Seminary and he said,“The Church forms, she Deforms, and then needs to be Reformed.”I think that the time for Reform is now, and the corruption needs to be addressed. There is too much spiritual abuse, and bullying, and pride in the name of theological correctness. This Deformed church doesn’t feel like it reflects the heart of most of the sermons given on hills by our Lord and crucified Savior.I became a Christian ten years ago, and then soon after I accepted Calvin into my heart. This is obviously a joke, but to some it isn’t an overstatement. I was saved and converted in the heat of the Young, Restless and Reformed movement coupled with the Neo Calvinist Church of the Gospel Coalition, the Resurgence, Mars Hill, Desiring God, and even attended Reformed Theological Seminary after attending a Reformed college....

Mondays of Meaning January 24th, 2021
Hello,This week's edition will discuss speaking authentically, the theory of enchantment and how to transcend yourself. With Regards To Telling If You Are Speaking AuthenticallyListen to yourself talk, as if a stranger was talking. Try not to identify too much with what you are saying. Then, observe. See if what you are saying makes you feel stronger, physically, or weaker. If it makes you feel weaker, stop saying it. Try to reformulate your speech until you can feel the ground under your feet solidifying. Then practice only saying things that make you strong.Stop trying to use your speech to get what you want. You don’t necessarily know what you want. Instead, try to articulate what you believe to be true as carefully as possible. Then, accept the outcome. Assume that your truth, as lived and spoken, will produce the best possible outcome.It’s an act of faith. But so is every other...
