Missing the Point on Bill Nye

Judging from my Facebook home feed, Bill Nye has (once again) said some things monumentally stupid. As I scanned the episodes in his Netflix series “Bill Nye Saves the World,” I was reminded of Joel Achenbach’s March, 2015, National Geographic article titled, “Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science?” Achenbach says something very revealing about […]
Why I love the Commercialization of Christmas
| December 20, 2016 | Posted by Anthony under apologetics, atheism, Blog, General |
Every year about this time there are complaints about the commercialization of Christmas. I think even my hero, C.S. Lewis had some cynical things to say about it. No doubt, it is ironic and even scandalous that the ‘reason for the season’ is often only a pretext for people and businesses to make a load […]

This is the third essay of musings, organizing my thoughts for an upcoming presentation. In the first essay, I showed that the rise of the ‘religious nones’ within just the last decade or so is massive, and provided data that supports what most of us already knew: most of these were raised in the Christian […]
An Apology for Apologetics: Musings (Part 1)

What is considered ‘apologetics’ is construed very narrowly for many people–too narrowly.
What Sin Really Is and Why Acknowledging It Offers More Reason to Live than Denying It Exists
| March 25, 2016 | Posted by Anthony under atheism, Blog |
I had an interesting conversation recently with an atheist. Essentially, the atheist built a syllogism (with a little helpful prodding by myself) where he accepted both of the premises, and then refused to complete it. It was pure logic–but he wouldn’t accept it. The irony, of course, is thick. He believes atheists are the masters […]
