Dr. Albert Mohler's conclusion: Christians will find Dinesh D'Souza's latest book to be both interesting and helpful. His apologetic model is G. K. Chesterton, and he writes with a similar style and verve. I found his argument that Christians should embrace evolution while rejecting Darwinism to be unconvincing and unhelpful. The dominant model of evolutionary theory is just as atheistic and incompatible with Christianity as classical Darwinism. Nevertheless, the book is filled with interesting and helpful arguments offered by a Christian intellectual who is heavily engaged in the great … [Read more...] about Albert Mohler on What’s So Great About Christianity

Senator Fred Thompson on Abortion

Wade was wrongly decided. 2. He thinks states (rather than the Supreme Court) should decide the matter. 3. He would discourage states from making laws forbidding abortion. 4. He believes that life begins at conception, and is proud of his 100% pro-life voting record. Am I the only one who smells political double-talk here? Thompson should be firmly rejected by the GOP.

Justice Clarence Thomas – Interviewed
Hillsdale College seniors Kaitlyn Buss, Daniel Burfiend, and Jillian Melchior interviewed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on September 19, 2007 about his recent memoir My Grandfather's Son. Thomas was raised by his grandfather, Myers Anderson, from the age of seven (his father having left when he was two).

Says Thomas:His life was marked by segregation, by no education, by having no father, by having his mother die when he was nine and going to live with his grandmother who was a freed slave. Thomas … [Read more...] about Justice Clarence Thomas – Interviewed
