Grok and the Big Fire in Sky
The American pika is a furry little rat-like rodent related to the rabbit. It lives high up on the slopes of mountains, weighs less than half a pound and doesn't hibernate in the winter.
There are at least five sub-species of pika that are indigenous to California, which probably goes ... Members - Full Text

The Road Paved With Good Intentions
Of course, you know where the road I am alluding to in the title leads. As the saying goes, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." At the risk of over-explaining the obvious, the point here is more practical than it is theological.
If one does the wrong thing, eve ... Members - Full Text

Homeless in Denver: Gitmo By the Platte
The City of Denver just passed a new law making the possession of urine or feces a crime. The law was passed after news reports circulated saying an entire house was being set aside to store up such noxious substances.
The suspects aren't nefarious operatives working on be ... Members - Full Text

The God of Tolerance
Since there are so many forms of 'god', there is a popular myth that dictates there are as many ways to God as there are forms of 'god.'
It sounds logical enough, if one prefers a 'god of their own understanding' over an omnipotent God Who understands all.
A 'god of one's own understanding' ... Members - Full Text

Front Row Seats
Under present circumstances, it seems a no-brainer to award the prize for the gutsiest nation in Europe, once again, to Poland.
Poland lives in a dangerous neighborhood, bordered by Germany on the West, the former Czechoslovakia to the south, the Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east with th ... Members - Full Text

The 'Jetsons' Was Fiction ??
When I was a kid, the 21st century loomed large as a bright and shiny future world where wars would be abolished, the world would all be one big happy family, and we'd all talk on videophones and drive to work in flying cars.
I anticipated it being a lot like it was pictured on ... Members - Full Text

Special Report: Last Dash To the South
Shortly after the fall of the old Soviet Union, lunatic Russian politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky published a book under the title, "Last Dash To the South."

Exhibit #6: Scriptural 'Contradictions'
The Christian faith stands or falls based on the truth of the Scripture. Christianity has no plan "B". Should the Bible somehow fail, Christianity fails with it.
The Bible claims of itself that is 100% accurate, 100% of the time. It is, as 2nd Peter 1:21 tells us, the pr ... Members - Full Text

The Fig Tree Generation
The restoration of the Jews to the Promised Land is one of the most staggeringly overt fulfillments of Bible prophecy to occur in the last 2,000 years.
The Hebrew prophets all foretold an eventual restoration of Israel, even addressing the future state by name, in some cases centuries afte ... Members - Full Text

Exhibit #5 - The Testimony of the Heavens
Long before there were any written Scriptures of which we are aware, men still needed to know about God and man's relationship to Him, and in particular, about His plans for their salvation.
There were no written Scriptures, so far as is known, that predate the Flood, b ... Members - Full Text

Exhibit #4: The Influence of the Holy Spirit
To this point, we've only looked at the Bible in its context as an historical document and seen the tremendous body of evidence, supported by both reason and nature, upon which Christianity rests.
Simply as a book of history, it is an amazing document. It begins before ... Members - Full Text

Exhibit #3 Absolutely God
"The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." (Psalms 14:1). It seems rather harsh to call someone 'a fool' for what at first glance appears to be ignorance.
A person who doesn't know God is clearly ignorant, since the word "ignorance" means 'not knowing'. Ignorance is ... Members - Full Text

Exhibit #2 - The Historical Authenticity of the Scripture
As pointed out during our examination of Exhibit #1, one of the attributes unique to Christianity is that it is founded upon actual, historical events rather that just on its ethical teachings. If Buddha were proved to have been a compilation of ancient fig ... Members - Full Text

Reasons To Believe: Exhibit #1
There are any number of reasons for a Christian to believe once he has been saved, apart from tangible and convincing evidences.
There is the personal indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit. The Bible confirms that His Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the childr ... Members - Full Text

The Ultimate Trip
What is 'death'? What happens to us when we draw our last breath and leave this earth? Is it the end? The beginning? Do we immediately go from this life to the next?
Do we 'sleep' until the Rapture or the Great White Throne Judgment? Or is it all a comforting myth?

Which is worse? The America of the past, the America of the present or the America of the future?
Ok, it's a trick question. If you are Barack Obama then it is a tossup between the past and present.
If you are Al Gore, the tossup is between the present and the future, if you are Ha ... Members - Full Text
