I Have Appointed You a Prophet to the Nations

by Mike Norman on February 21, 2012

Before Brock Lawley knit in his mind the abortion position paper he submitted for the debate with Theo Warner, he knew exactly what it should say. He knew it because he had already seen the essay knit in the mind of Rush Limbaugh, which we can tell by comparing his essay to a few passages in Limbaugh’s vapid 1992 book, The Way Things Ought to Be.

One of My Favorite Things

by Mike Norman

I’m in between jobs. And women. And so on. Have been for a while. Also, I hate interviews, and being screened from jobs by people not qualified to tie my shoes. Oh, well. Life deals you lemons, sometimes. But, still, it gets to you. Makes you feel a bit down. Other people have jobs. And [...]

The “Literal” and the “Interpreted”

by Spencer Daniel

In a theological thread over at Reddit, I ran into the following: A literal interpretation of Genesis has been warned against probably since the old Jewish scholars that wrote it…. You acknowledge this point, so why can’t you accept that the message of original sin is to be interpreted as well? I think I basically [...]

Review: A Universe from Nothing by Laurence Krauss

by Andy Burke

A few years ago physicist Laurence Krauss gave a lecture on cosmology which went on to accumulate more than a million views on YouTube, and this week saw the release his book with the same title, A Universe from Nothing. “The purpose of this book is simple,” writes Krauss, “I want to show how modern [...]
