Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin, Thomas Henry Huxley and Joseph Hooker were brilliant people. They recognized something that no one else in the history of humanity had seen or understood before them.

Christmas
What a wonderful month December is! The whole month is a celebration. It seems as if all neighborhoods suddenly convert to Las Vegas for the entire month. There are bright lights, fanciful decorations, twinkling, glittering displays, bunches of parties, feasts, the fun of surprises, keeping secrets until Christmas day, cookies, nuts, chocolates, mistletoe kisses, letting… Continue Reading
Fairness
“That’s not fair!” “All right, boys, play the game fairly.” “The Fairness Doctrine shall apply.” “She won it, fair and square.” “All’s fair in love and war.” “It is fair to say…” “He doesn’t fight fairly.” Well, well, well. We are a society that seems to measure all things as to whether they are fair… Continue Reading
Our Jobian World
We have deep respect for the author of Job. This guy, some 2500 years ago, understood those things we understand, and wrote a book about it. He did, indeed, tell it like it is. He told it as an allegory, because that’s the way they all gave their opinions and expressed their beliefs at that… Continue Reading
Women’s Rights

Pursuit of Happiness

This was a great experiment which turned out right. There is not any form of government we know that… Continue Reading
America and Christianity
We have already talked about God and Country, and how what is done for God and Country varies from one country to another, even though we are presumably talking about the same deity by another name. Perhaps more needs to be said specifically about this country, and specifically about America and Christianity. If we are… Continue Reading
God and Country
Doesn’t that sound great? How could you ask for anything better? There’s devotion and dedication for you. We are doing this for God and Country! It has everything that you would want for a cause. It means we believe deeply in our country and are religious moral people. It carries with it the connotation that… Continue Reading
Creativity
There is a new Mozart in our midst. His name is Jay Greenberg. He is 12 years old and refers to himself as ”Bluejay.” He says this is because blue jays are also small but colorful and make a lot of noise. Even though he is only 12 years old, he has already written five… Continue Reading
