Ventilators and Value

Rather than viewing all life as inherently valuable, utilitarianism views life as valuable if it leads to beneficial outcomes for most people.

Written by Stephen Kneale | Tuesday, April 7, 2020

We are now living in a time where we are instituting a sliding scale of deserving vulnerability and a terrifyingly dystopian approach to healthcare. If my pal in his 70s, with COPD and muscular dystrophy, gets coronavirus at the same time as me, he’ll be booted off the ventilator for my sake. That is as... Continue Reading

Is the Current Crisis Really “Unprecedented”?

Let’s get a feel for what qualifies as unprecedented by reviewing a time or two in U.S. history when something truly without precedent happened.

Written by Gleaves Whitney | Monday, April 6, 2020

Both the founders’ revolution and the progressives’ revolution by evolution were unprecedented in U.S. history. They changed the operating system of our nation. In both cases, the relationship between the people and their government was dramatically altered. Is it possible that we are watching something unprecedented unfold as national, state, and local governments respond to... Continue Reading

COVID-19 and Being at Wits’ End

See this COVID-19 event as a God-given opportunity to pray for believer and unbeliever alike.

Written by Al Baker | Saturday, April 4, 2020

My friends, in light of the present distress of COVID-19 may we pray, asking God to use this pestilence of judgment to drive millions of people to their wits’ end, that they will realize all their hard work, planning, self-confidence, professional abilities, and experience are no match for any time God decides to walk through...

Attempts to Secularize Yoga in Alabama Schools

There is no yoga without Hinduism and no Hinduism without yoga.

Written by Clete Hux | Thursday, April 2, 2020

Real Hindus do not want someone to blend their religion with another such as Christianity. There are some who, baselessly other than their own desire to do so, state that we can practice Christian yoga. That is like saying Christianity is Hindu. Using any Hindu practice for a non-religious purpose, in this case yoga, is... Continue Reading

How the Coronavirus Revealed Authoritarianism’s Fatal Flaw

China’s use of surveillance and censorship makes it harder for Xi Jinping to know what’s going on in his own country.

Written by Zeynep Tufekci | Wednesday, March 4, 2020

Authoritarian blindness had turned an easily solvable problem into a bigger, durable crisis that exacted a much heavier political toll, a pattern that would repeat itself after a mysterious strain of pneumonia emerged in a Wuhan seafood market.   China is in the grip of a momentous crisis. The novel coronavirus that emerged late last... Continue Reading

The LGBT Movement’s Dangerous Hypocrisy on Conversion Therapy

The Utah law adds conversion therapy to a list of practices considered to be “unprofessional conduct” for state-licensed mental health therapists.

Written by Joe Carter | Tuesday, February 25, 2020

Is sexual orientation fixed or fluid? For LGBT activists, the answer depends on what position most benefits their cause. When it comes to conversion therapy to change sexual orientation, the LGBT lobby claims that homosexuality is immutable and cannot be changed. Yet in other contexts they claim that sexual orientation is fluid, especially in adolescence.... Continue Reading

The Dark Road From Abortion to Infanticide in American Law

This essay attempts a review of the legislative, judicial, political, and social developments of recent years in regard to abortion.

Written by Thomas Ascik | Tuesday, February 25, 2020

In Roe, the Supreme Court spoke of “potential life” and said that it need not decide the supposedly “difficult question of when life begins.” Even though Justice Blackmun for the Court did not know, the science of embryology knew the answer to the question then and now: “the sex of the new individual . . ....

What Do Hitmen and Porn Watchers Have in Common?

Anyone involved in the commissioning, planning, or execution of a crime can suffer its penalties.

Written by Tim Challies | Monday, February 24, 2020

If you want to benefit from a crime, you risk facing the full consequences of that crime. The man who commits acts of rape against a girl deserves to face justice. It’s for good reason that Michael Pratt is facing a long list of serious charges. But what about the people who watched that video? What about... Continue Reading

Humans Are Still Evolving

Is the mechanism that leads a bacteria to develop resistance the same mechanism that can create a bacteria in the first place or evolve it into a fish?

Written by Alan Shlemon | Monday, February 24, 2020

The problem with most popular articles on evolution is that the authors equivocate on the definition of evolution. They fail to draw a distinction between these different definitions. The result? Any empirical evidence of change over time or microevolution is assumed to demonstrate that macroevolution is true. The average reader thinks, If bacterial resistance to antibiotics is an...

Should I Use My Trans Neighbor’s Preferred Pronoun?

The unity Paul was after was thick. Much thicker than “politeness” or a shallow sense of getting along.

Written by Sam Parkison | Tuesday, February 18, 2020

Just like how cultures and subcultures have their own distinct concepts and agendas and ideologies, so too do these respective domains. Just like how the citizens of Christ’s kingdom enjoy “the bread” and “cup of blessing,” which is our “participation in the body and blood of Christ” (1 Cor 10:16-17), the domain of darkness has...
