Mr. Evans believes that, “There’s nothing out there but the splendid universe.” His reluctance to embrace a supernatural explanation for its creation is understandable. Our public schools teach Darwin’s theory of the “Origin of Species” as fact (while the theory is yet unproven) and resist teaching Intelligent Design as an alternate theory. Michael Behe’s book, “Darwin’s Black Box” does a good job of exposing Darwin’s unsupported assumptions. Scientists who conclude that the information within DNA points clearly to an...
Where one is born has more to do with one’s religion than the belief itself. The probability that Ms. Burge, Misters Bowles and Stanton, and Dr. Sisel are Christians is probably more geographical than theological. If born in a non-Christian country, they would likely fervently support Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Jainism, or Judaism. They would believe one of those religions because that is what family and those around them follow. It is incidental that our nation’s founders were Christians. If they were any of...

He stated he was selling magazines to help the inner cites and hopefully some of the monies would help his daughter out. Once we said we were n...
