Take Tim Challies To School Day
What do we make of a recent article from Tim Challies? Challies has a long history of attempting to defend the indefensible where the subject of children’s education is concerned, so the fact that he’s devolved to the point of offering up material like this is anything but surprising. Sad? Frustrating? Pathetic? Yeah. But not […]

An Evolutionary Fairy Story About ‘Star Dust’ That Leads to ‘Algebraic Ethics’
The following is from a New York Times article on the importance of stardust in our supposed evolution: It is the stuff of people, as well as cats, plants, buttons, shoes, seas, planets, comets, moons, cars, books and cell phones, not to mention the paper (or computer screen) on which these words appear: star dust.
