A University of Oregon research team claims “that evolution can never go backwards, because the paths to the genes once present in our ancestors are forever blocked.” Isn’t that convenient. This study is another evolutionary dodge. While we’re told to keep our eye on the ball, they’re slipping another one under the cup. According to evolutionists, the cosmos began as a super hot mass of molten “st [...]
If government had its way, oil prices would be regulated and “excessive” profits taxed. The majority of Americans support higher taxes on the oil companies because of short-term self-interest.

The majority of Americans like gover [...]

In 1982 I wrote my first book: God and Government: A Biblical and Historical Study. It begins with the operating premise that government is not synonymous with politics. Slef-government under God is the basis of social change. When people change, everything they put their mind and hands to will change.
