(Ed’s note: The following article is amazing for its comprehensiveness, yet brief overview of two divergent philosphies that war against each other today.  A MUST read.)

An electoral shift to the right, or “right-wing” influence in media, education, entertainment, business, law enforcement, the military, or medicine might be deplored as a return to the Dark Ages of superstition and repression, and a rejection of the Enlightenment, which brought science, prosperity, and freedom.

It is popularly believed that, during this dark era and the “Middle Ages,” obscurantist Christians deliberately rounded up classical texts to destroy them, everyone thought the earth was flat, and scientific and technological advancement was virtually nonexistent (tinyurl.com/yf6azpsj).

The phrase “Dark Ages” was first used to describe the Middle Ages by the Italian scholar Francesco Petrarch (1304–1374 AD). He thought that classical antiquity was the Golden Age, and that he lived in an age of decline. Some historians use the term to refer more specifically to the Early Middle Ages (c. 475–c. 800 AD), from the collapse of the western Roman Empire until the rise of the Carolingian Empire, sometimes considered the first phase of the Holy Roman Empire, in the late eighth century A.D.

Readers may have noticed the gap in the last two posts.  Well, hurricane Helene devasted my area (East Central Georgia), and I have been pre-occupied with personal damage from that event.  Just now getting back into the sadde.

Chimp Chat Study Confirms Language is Human

by Brian Thomas

Animals communicate but not with language. Where did language come from and why do we humans all use it? Evolution-based answers are restricted to options that leave out a Creator, even when evidence points right to Him. Conventional researchers have long grasped at any skinny straw that might bolster the belief that language evolved. The latest such straw seems skinnier than ever, and it comes with an inadvertent admission of a creation-friendly answer.

A team of researchers from mostly European universities found a “correspondence between human and chimpanzee face-to-face communication.”¹ Their research was published in Current Biology.² Chimps and many other animals take turns when exchanging gestures. We humans, too, take turns when we talk. This team discovered that the short moments between turns last just about as long between chimps and humans.

Genetic Recombination: A Regulated and Designed Chromosomal System

According to the evolutionary paradigm, complex genetic information in the form of genes and regulatory DNA can randomly evolve through mutations and selection. But this erroneous idea becomes more untenable with every new discovery in the field of genomics.

For example, research on meiosis, a type of cell division that produces genetic variation when sperm and egg cells form, is creating major roadblocks for conventional evolutionary theory. Genetic recombination, a key event during meiosis, is proving to be especially problematic for the mutation-selection myth. The precise regulation of this process, once thought to be largely random, involves an amazing amount of engineering.

(This artcile has implications for recombinent RNA and DNA in treating medical problems which was the (non failed) hope of the Human Genome Project.)

NASA claimed that “Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate” and “human activity is the principal cause.” Others proposed spending trillions of dollars to control the climate. But are we humans responsible for climate change? And what can we do about it?

“The climate of planet Earth has never stopped changing since the Earth’s genesis, sometimes relatively rapidly, sometimes very slowly, but always surely,” says Patrick Moore in Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom. “Hoping for a ‘perfect stable climate’ is as futile as hoping the weather will be the same and pleasant, every day of the year, forever.”

Possibly the most important article for the survival of Western civilization

In both secular and Christian publications, one often hears such phrases as “faith-based organizations,” “peoples of faith,” and “the religious and irreligious.” The implication of these designations for Christians, however, is to admit defeat before ever engaging in battle. Throughout history there has been an antithesis between faith and reason. If one group is “faith-based,” then by default the other is “reason-based.” When presented in this way, those who are “reasoning” have virtually already won the argument. “Everyone” knows that to reason is better than to have “faith.” At least that is how the argument goes in the public square. Thus, I will present that Christians must continually and broadly begin to demonstrate that every person acts by faith—secularists, Christians, and those of any other religion.

Of course, to most Christians today, they have already admitted defeat. They do not want to “polish brass on a sinking ship.” But at least they ought to recognize that they have not upheld the honor of Christ, by allowing his followers to be placed into a category of irrationality. Then, there are those Christians who seem intent to invite persecution. They conclude […]

People in developed nations take abundant electricity for granted. When asked where electricity comes from, most will point to their wall outlet. But many states in the US are headed for a serious and prolonged shortage of electrical power not seen in decades, driven by rising demand from the artificial intelligence revolution and mandates to adopt green energy.

For 20 years, US electrical power policy has been dominated by efforts to try to “mitigate” global warming, believed to be caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. In 2021, President Joe Biden called for achieving a 100% carbon-free electric sector by 2035. Twenty-three states have enacted statues or issued executive orders to achieve Net Zero electricity generation by 2050.

Because of Net Zero mandates, US grid operators spent the last two decades replacing coal-fired power plants with natural gas plants, wind turbines, and solar installations. More than 200 coal plants have been closed, reducing electricity output from coal by almost 60% since 2007. From 2000 to 2023, wind and solar output rose from near zero to a combined 14.1% of US production. Over the same period, natural gas rose from 16.2% to 43.1% of power generation.
