Are You the Salt of the Earth?
Salt (NaCl), specifically sodium chloride, or common table salt, is a most useful compound. It is quite common (and necessary) in all cultures and in everyone’s daily lives. It can be used for many different purposes. One of the most common purposes that the vast majority of people would be familiar with is as a…

Man Made Climate Change
Man made Global Warming has taken us by storm (pun intended). The media is literally inundated with it. Take these particular headlines in the last few weeks for example: Climate Change Deemed Growing Security Threat by Military Researchers – The New York Times : May 13th 2014 U.S. Military Plans Policy Shift in Response to…

May We Have A Rational Discussion?
Apparently not when it comes to atheists who are adamant about stamping out all religion in society and within the daily lives of ordinary citizens of the United States of America. I’ll explain in a minute. First let me say this was not the topic on my mind this evening. For the last day or…

Chasing After Rights
Our rights are important. As is what we perceive as our rights. Rights are where we derive so many of our other political and social concepts from.

In Search of God
The other day in Whose Science Is It? I stated: “Once one has determined in his or her own mind as to the existence of God, then the debate as to who or what that God may (or may not) be can take place.” Meaning to separate two linked, but unique, practices: Theology and Religion. But…

Whose Science Is It?
One of the more amusing aspects of the whole God debate to me is the exclusive territory of science. As if certain crowds have a lock on particular disciplines. When studying the world around us, there are many different facets that can be taken into account. And there are different theories and interpretations of the…

Where Is My Faith?
Faith is a difficult thing. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Faith permeates our lives in every way imaginable and yet we struggle with it where it matters most. Simply put, Faith is a belief that is held that is not based on a proof. We utilize faith in our lives each and every day…
