The comic above refers to an incident that happened during the Battle of the Bulge. Sixty-seven years ago today Allied soldiers were fighting a desperate battle to stop the Nazi attempt to break the encircling Allied Armies. It was an attempt that came too close to success for comfort. This battle was the largest and […]
Nice comeback by Tebow
Yes, yes, I realize that the above is not really an Orthodox cartoon, but I could not resist it. As you know, the Denver Broncos won against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday during their playoff game. Now the Broncos go on to face the Patriots. What I had not caught was that: Tebow completed 10 […]
Evolutionary theory and some fun
Have a little fun with the cartoon above! The view of evolution espoused above is an extreme one that would be rejected by most scientists, but it is one that is perhaps most often found in popular culture. Note that nature has been anthropomorphized. In straight secular evolutionary theory–which I do not agree with–there is […]
Southern gun shows and people watching
Exactly a month ago my friend and I both invested in an AR-15 rifle as we got a great deal for them from Moriarti Arms. So today when I heard there was a gun show in Alabama, I just had to visit it. And as it was just a few blocks from the church, and […]
Feast of the Three Kings
Today is La Fiesta de los Reyes Magos, the Feast of the Three Kings. Now, you are probably saying, “wait, wait, today is the Feast of the Epiphany!” Well, uhm, yes you would be completely correct, and in church that is the feast that is being celebrated. However, in popular Latino culture, the practice is […]
Guns and self-defense, when it somewhat works as it should
As I quoted in an post several months ago, the position of the OCA on self-defense is that the Evangelical counsels of the Church consider “turning the other cheek” as being the ideal for a Christian. Nevertheless, as the article points out, in this fallen and damaged world this is not always either possible or […]
On syphilis and science
Yesterday, I commented that science is based on the clash of competing theories as well as experimental studies. However, sometimes the studies lead into subjects that cross over into our understanding of history. One such subject is the study of the origins of history. Archeology magazine writes the following in an article: Debate about the […]
Unexpected twists in science
One of the things that most people do not understand about science is that one of the ways in which an accurate understanding of what we see, touch, hear, etc., is reached is by proposing alternate theories that try to explain what we see, touch, hear, etc. Then those alternate theories are tested against each […]
How badly overweight are we?
We are in the midst of a debate over just how overweight we are and whether it really matters to the health of this country. But, I ran across an interesting article that really made me think. We have all seen those signs that are ever-present in elevators, trucks, etc. They say that an elevator […]
Sometimes we get it so wrong
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a […]
