A Prophet from Science Has Spoken

October 31, 2007

Oliver Curry, an evolutionary theorist from London, has predicted that by 3,000 AD humans will have physically peaked. My interpretation of his prediction is that pretty people tend to marry breed with pretty people and ugly folks have to settle for other ugly folks for mates. Thus, there is going to be a continual splitting up of the human race into the haves and the have nots which will eventually result in two distinct species. Read the rest of this entry ?

Marie Osmond, A Big Hit As a Falling Star

October 24, 2007

Monday night Marie Osmond (one of the stars) passed out in the middle of receiving her evaluation on the hit show Dancing with the Stars. No big deal, right? I mean she fainted, nothing seriously wrong.

Well you would think this is the first time in human history a homo sapien has passed out. Read the rest of this entry ?

Language Weirdness – Especially Among Christians

October 23, 2007

I’ve been noticing for quite some time that certain terms or words get ingrained in a culture or subculture and that language of communication becomes so deeply ingrained no one within that cultural group seems to be able to express themselves without using those set words and phrases. I wish people could think more deeply about how they say things and say then speak in new and fresh ways. Read the rest of this entry ?

Is It Always Wrong for a Christian to Sue a Christian or a Christian Organization?

October 15, 2007

The reason I raise this question is because there are so many lawsuits presently in the process among high-profile ministries. Here are some of the suits I know about: Oral Roberts University and Richard Roberts are being sued by three former professors. If i understand the claims correctly it is a wrongful termination suit. Southwestern Seminary and its President, Paige Patterson are being sued by Sherri Klouda in a wrongful termination claim as well. Two Rivers Baptist Church in Nashville is being sued by a group of church members over claims that the church and pastor are withholding records they don’t have a right to withhold. Finally, Dr. Jim Lady is suing First Baptist Church Moore, and pastor Kevin Clarkson over a claim that they spread false allegations concerning Jim’s mental health when they terminated him and thereby damaged his ability to find other gainful employment.

Islamic Invasion

October 3, 2007

Western ideals of religious freedom and tolerance are coming back to bite us and are being used against us. Western Europe is slowly being overrun and overcome by a Muslim invasion and they seem powerless to do anything about it. They seem not even to have the will to do anything about it.

Top 25 in Football

October 1, 2007

Well, my beloved OU Sooners couldn’t get it done this past weekend against the Colorado Buffalo’s. Give it up to CU. They were obviously well prepared and they didn’t give up when they were down at the half. They came out and stopped OU from doing anything productive in the second half. I kept thinking OU would pull it out in the end, but in the end it didn’t happen. Read the rest of this entry ?
