Media's 'Go-To' Man on Religion in Public Schools, Charles Haynes, Unqualified, Has Conflict of Interest
LINWOOD, NJ -- Freedom Forum First Amendment Center Senior Scholar, Charles Haynes, the news media's "go-to" man on religion in education, is not qualified to speak on legal Constitutional issues and Haynes should recuse himself when discussing teaching Bible in public schools because of a conflict of interest due to his longstanding association with the Bible Literacy Project, which is marketing a textbook to public schools that has raised great concern with many Christians.

Appendix Not Useless, But Evolution Is
So, we are told that the appendix is a useless leftover, and that "fact" proves evolution to be true. Then we are told that the appendix has a very important function and that fact "makes evolutionary sense." Which is it? In truth, that which proves too much proves nothing. Finding an important function for the appendix is exactly what one would expect if the human body was designed by God.

Mind Siege: Our Christian Faith is Under Siege
My thoughts today are taken from Tim LaHaye and David Noebel's book, Mind Siege: The Battle for the Truth. Christians, please read this book. It illustrates some important points that the church needs, not only to hear, but to respond to quickly. My comments are taken from, or in part inspired by, this book, sounding Shofars of alarm, calling the church to wake up and defend the rights that we have left, and to retake those that we have already lost.

Hypocrisy of Hating Homosexuality, While Ignoring Cohabitation and Adultery

Why I'm Not an Atheist Part VI
Recently a letter writer in my local paper has forced me to amend a New Year's resolution to be a kinder, gentler columnist; but for good cause I abandon that vow. This gentleman, by virtue of his last two letters, has demonstrated that he can spoon feed us revisionist history with fragmented quotations and rhetorical quips pasted from the latest Richard Dawkins book, or his favorite atheist website. His quotes didn't address the actual issue I raised (whether America must be neutral in acknowledgment of God), but I will deal with his red herrings anyway.

Why I Can't be an Atheist Part IV: Some Philosophical Considerations
Many of the critiques I have received so far, have focused on debunking analogies I have used, more so than refuting specific points against atheism. If you are an accomplishing logician, you can probably find logical fallacies in virtually any polemic. It is simple to explain why this is the case. Whenever two things are compared which are not identical, or at least not substantially similar, someone opposing your perspective who wants to maintain the antithesis between the two views, will critique the analogy by only citing the dissimilarities.

Why I Can't Be an Atheist Part III: Expedient Definitions and Bogus Illustrations
Defining atheism is a daunting undertaking. It can be an elusive moving target, with constantly varying definitions and ramifications. The dictionary of philosophy defines atheism as: "Belief that god does not exist. Unlike the agnostic, who merely criticizes traditional arguments for the existence of a deity, the atheist must offer evidence that there is no god or propose a strong principle for denying what is not known to be true."

Why I Can't be an Atheist, Part II: Appeals to Reason and Logic
It is quite possible that atheists as a group are more intelligent than the community of theists at large. I don't have statistical evidence to support this claim, but anecdotally, I can believe that it is quite likely. Many, who become atheists, probably arrive at a crisis, where there are points of tension in reconciling Christianity with their own constructs of logic and reason.
