In the previous century, America, through public and private cooperation and investment built an unrivaled infrastructure. We became the country that invented the things of a new and exciting world, and we built those things. We put in place a social safety net. We weren’t perfect, but we tried, and We looked to the future with excitement and anticipation, but today, we seem to be in a rush to go backwards as far and fast as possible. We fear everything, and demand absolute security, and think it can be found in some nostalgic past.

The Old Testament Explained

One night last week I watched, for a second time, a Comedy Central showing of Black on stage in Washington, D.C. In response to Bush’s comments about Evolution that, “the jury is still out,” Black does a routine about the Old Testament. As is always the case with the best comedy, it made me think about me think about things from a different perspective…about how we Christians use the Old Testament to discriminate against gay people.

Chuck Missler, a biblical fundamentalist and founder of Koinonia House Ministry, presents what he believes is proof that the theory of evolution isn’t viable – he opens a jar of peanut butter. And because we’ve never found “new life” inside a jar of peanut butter, the entire food industry of the world is proof that evolution just isn’t true.

Along with some of the great theories of how our universe works, Einstein is also know for some great insights into human nature. It seems, despite a depth of knowledge exceeding almost everyone else in human history, yet he is saying that knowledge has a limit. We can only know so much.
