    DNA and Christ's Birth

    No, it doesn't. God can make a rock, say it's a rock, and it's therefore a rock. If he makes another rock and calls that one also a rock, the second rock is still a rock even if it's not chipped off the first rock. That's the problem with the word "human." In these modern times it evokes too...

    DNA and Christ's Birth

    Docetism denies the materiality of Jesus' substance. Was Adam not fully man? If God created another Adam, would that second Adam not be fully man? BTW, I use "man" here rather than "human" because "human" involves a number of philosophical issues that are not germane in many ways.

    DNA and Christ's Birth

    That's really only emphasizing Jesus' material characteristic. Implanting a fertilized embryo into a woman (which could be a fertilized embryo from any other two people) would still be "born of a woman."

    There's nothing else to call it, except weaponized incompetence

    My wife has been using a Windows computer for work for the last 20+ years, using Windows browsers every day, yet she claims she doesn't know what "browser" means. If she has any kind of difficulty whatsoever doing anything with her computer, I have to help her out. Once I hadn't been in her...

    Alec Baldwin accidentally shoots cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead on set.

    I wonder what "little remorse" sounds like from a person who honestly believes they've been railroaded.

    Carnivore Diet

    It might be a matter of customary food availability. People who were intentional gluttons, more or less specializing in gastronomic excess as at a feast, may have specifically filled themselves with meat rather than bread or vegetables. I'll have to confess, that's me at a Brazillian steakhouse.

    Carnivore Diet

    And it mentions both terms because they're both necessary for the accurate meaning. The following verse makes its point: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. So, it's not the meat itself that's the significant issue, but the...

    What is pulling America Apart?

    Hmm. In 1970, I could buy a front-row seat to concerts of the top popular music artists for $25. That was right at the stage...my elbows were literally on the stage. Today, those tickets to the same level of artists (heck even to see the same artists at Choctaw Casino) would cost a couple of...

    What is pulling America Apart?

    That's the only kind business (and therefore government) likes.

    "They've got money for cell phones and LED television sets, so they're doing all right!"

    What is pulling America Apart?

    They're being paid under the table, so that won't count.

    What is pulling America Apart?

    Well, the individual doesn't have to have children in the US. However, support of the retired generation always depends on the economic activity of the working generations. Whether it's government Social Security or an IRA or owning real estate, support of the retired generation always depends...

    US Still Trying to Prolong the Ukraine War...

    The Poles and Czechs know the Russians better than you or I. The Swedes and Finns know them pretty well, too. They all think Russia would invade them.
