Pro Rege Papers

In Case You Missed the Last Post...

2006-08-01T15:43:00.000-07:00

I know I said the previous post was the last one, but hey, I have trouble with goodbyes.For the last time:My new blog is right here.

Bye-Bye, Blogger

2006-07-31T21:56:00.000-07:00

I hate to say this, (not really) but Pro Rege Papers will no longer be hosted or serviced by Blogger. While I love Blogger's design and quick-and-easy usage; I needed a little more.My new site, prorege.org, is my own, and I am therefore independent. The actual blog is at http://www.prorege.org/papers01. I hope you enjoy the new format, which includes trackback capabilities.The blogging software

Abortion

2006-07-28T13:51:00.000-07:00

Axinar wrote a post about abortion in his blog. It started when I said that Andrea Yates’ killing of her five children was not an insane act, but a desperately wicked act. Then I said that, “there are many, many, mothers who kill their own children, and no one calls them insane. In fact, the government even helps them. It's called abortion: the now legal murdering of a mother's children by her

Nazism as Opposed to Conservativism

2006-07-27T11:23:00.000-07:00

Two of the favorite appellations leftist liberals use to describe conservatives are “NAZI!” and “FASCIST!” In doing this, liberals show that they don’t want to pay attention to history. They just blurt out what sounds interesting and incriminating against Bush and Republicans. They don’t examine the sharp contrasts between Nazis and Conservatives, Hitler and Bush, Germany in the 1930s and America

Quote of the Month - July

2006-07-25T20:25:00.000-07:00

This is the original Bill Keller quote from the interview with CBS that Michelle Malkin made semi-famous. “…if you're under the impression that the press is neutral in this war on terror, or that we're agnostic—and you could get that impression from some of the criticism—that couldn't be more wrong. We have people traveling on the front lines with soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. We've had

Two of My Main Sources

2006-07-25T20:11:00.000-07:00

I highly recommend A Basic History of the United States, by Clarence B. Carson. It is a good sum-up of United States history from the early 1600s till the beginning of 2001. Comprising six volumes, it would be useful for those of you who want to brush up on American history. He has written other books as well that go into economics, government, communism, etc. Carson goes through all of American

Very Interesting

2006-07-24T14:47:00.000-07:00

Answers in Genesis has an article that reports the story of one professor in a prominent American university who taught a class that examined evolution fully with all the arguments for and against it. The university, professor, and students are all anonymous for reasons of the professor’s job security, etc. The students' comments and the survey at the bottom of the page show handily that if you

Martyrdom

2006-07-22T20:10:00.000-07:00

Muslims have twisted a word that previously was respectable, and turned into something vile and filthy. The word martyr comes from a Greek word meaning “witness”. The Early Church adopted the word to describe those Christians who died as a result of “witnessing” for Christ. These were people who were evangelizing, or just refusing to bow down before the Roman emperor or his gods. They were given

The Cartoon Says It All

2006-07-22T18:46:00.000-07:00

I just found a really good cartoon on Saber Point that illustrates the recent war between Israel and Hezbollah. It's really true for all wars the US has been in since Vietnam. The Somalis, Iraqis, (the formal army under Saddam) and terrorists in general have all used the same tactic. They have such a lack of civilization that they have to prey on our decent behavior.Stogie posted it on his blog,

The Dreamworld of Socialism

2006-07-19T19:28:00.000-07:00

An integral part of Karl Marx’s theory of communism is that the supposedly poor workers (proletariat) are being oppressed by the supposedly rich capitalist employers. Collectivists say that the proletariat is in a very bad condition. They insist that they are much worse off than the capitalists. However, these are comparative terms that communists are using. The question is: “What are they

The 17th Amendment and States' Rights

2006-07-18T19:17:00.000-07:00

The first clause of article 1, section 3, of the Constitution states: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.” This very important aspect of the office of the Senator has been revoked today. It was changed by the 17th amendment, ratified on April 8, 1913. This

Nicea and the Divinity of Jesus

2006-07-17T19:33:00.000-07:00

Many people believe or are coming to believe certain parts of Dan Brown’s book, The Da Vinci Code. This book contains many lies about divinity of Christ. The recently translated Judas Gospel is also urging people in the same direction. One of the primary lies that The Da Vinci Code perpetrates that people believe is that Jesus was made God by the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. They say that before

Russia and Tyranny

2006-07-14T19:31:00.000-07:00

Russia has this thing with dictatorships. They can’t get rid of them. They come, one after another, and the Russians do nothing about it.Russians have this fatalist attitude toward hardship in their lives. They just accept it, and don’t do anything about it (besides maybe drowning it in vodka). They allow strongman after strongman to dominate their lives. The Russian Orthodox Church also has much

Protest Warrior

2006-07-13T19:41:00.000-07:00

A conservative website, ProtestWarrior, has some pointed posters that get right to the center of the issues at hand. The site, which was hacked by leftists, has an amazing video series that reveals the extreme amount of tolerance and patience that liberals have toward anyone who disagrees with them. It also shows the Pillsbury doughboy peacefulness of the anti-war protesters. Some of it is just

An Escalating Conflict

2006-07-13T19:17:00.000-07:00

Hezbollah, the terrorist organization that practically owns southern Lebanon, has kidnapped three Israeli soldiers in the past two days, and is now launching rockets into Israeli cities near the border of Lebanon and Israel. In retaliation, Israel has started an offensive (or rather defensive) that has penetrated the Gaza strip, enforced a naval, land, and air blockade on Lebanon; and sent troops

Socialism's Growing Acceptance

2006-07-12T21:13:00.000-07:00

Socialism is being accepted in America. Slowly but surely it is coming about. It has slowed a little since the ‘80s, but it is gradually enveloping America. In the United States, we prefer the gradualist (or evolutionary) socialism. This is opposed to the revolutionary socialism espoused by Karl Marx, also known as communism. Communism declares that there is a huge gap between the rich

Reformation vs. Revolution

2006-07-11T10:21:00.000-07:00

Many people call the War of Independence the “Revolutionary War”, or the “American Revolution.” They compare our independence with other guerrilla wars that thugs and criminals propagate. However, the word “revolution” does not necessarily apply to what we did in 1775-1781. A revolution refers to a complete turn-around of all society. It is an abolishment of all that was before. It is a 180

World Cup 2006

2006-07-10T12:32:00.000-07:00

Italy has won World Cup 2006. They triumphed over France, who had eliminated Brazil earlier in the tournament. France’s star, Zinedine Zidane, got an early goal for France, but Italy rebounded with a header by Marco Materazzi that flew past France’s goalie. Zidane got angry with Materazzi and head-butted him in the chest. He was red-carded, and left the field as a disappointed Frenchman. The

Blog Warfare

2006-07-10T00:05:00.000-07:00

Okay, so the blogosphere apparently cannot survive without me. While I was having a peaceful, quiet vacation away from the computer, conservative websites were being hacked like crazy. Protein Wisdom was hacked, and leftist maniac (a psychology professor at the tax-supported University of Arizona) Debb Frisch posted comments there that threatened (as in the life/death kind of threatening) Jeff

Two Last-Ditch Arguments

2006-07-05T16:42:00.000-07:00

There are two major arguments that I have noticed that evolutionists always use after you present solid evidence against their theory. These are things that they mention as a last resort before walking away (or not responding, in the case of the Internet).Those who are not scientists, and who are desperate humanists (or very young), will swear at you and tell you that you’re a religious nut and

The Declaration of Independence

2006-07-04T10:29:00.000-07:00

The declaration of Independence is one of the greatest works of all time. In commemoration of its adoption by the Second Continental Congress, here is the transcript:In Congress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with

Brazil is out of the World Cup!

2006-07-01T18:11:00.000-07:00

The heavy favorite in this World Cup, Brazil was beaten 1-0 by France this afternoon. The five-time winner of the tournament is now out of the 2006 World Cup.In a major upset, France beat Brazil by deploying its best men and connecting its passes. The star of the game, Zinedine Zidane, crossed the ball over to Thierry Henry, who pounded the ball into the back of the net with a great header.

A Good Joke

Labor Unions

2006-06-30T19:21:00.000-07:00

The labor unions used to be a plague on the United States. They were extremely violent in the 1880’s and ‘90s, and practically ruled business in the U.S. until Ronald Reagan stopped them with his fortitude. They are still very influential in Europe.One of the things that I have thought is very interesting is that the main fight of labor unions is not against employers, though that is part of it,

A Well-Written Article

The Truth About Galileo

2006-06-28T20:47:00.000-07:00

I’m tired of people saying that Christianity is against science because Galileo was killed by fundamentalists. That is a commonly perpetrated lie that many people who don’t know the history believe. Thankfully Axinar seems to know the true story, but maybe some of you don’t.After many years in the Christian Church, with the development of the hierarchy, and other things that departed from the

A Sad Sign

2006-06-28T13:39:00.000-07:00

You know it really shows where this country is when the Motion Picture Association of America gives a film a PG rating for Christian elements in the plot. Alex and Stephen Kendrick direct Facing the Giants, a movie about the struggles of a football team in the South. There is an evangelical component in the movie that earned it a PG rating for adult themes. Apparently the MPAA believes that

Mutation Problems

2006-06-26T20:22:00.000-07:00

There is a major flaw in the evolutionary theory. It has to do with the ability to pass down a trait that has mutated. Suppose that (somehow, this in itself is beyond scientific consideration) a mutation occurred in the just the right spot, with just the right genes, at just the right time in an animal to give him a “good” trait. You now have an animal with a structure that resembles the final

The People's Right to Know

2006-06-24T19:41:00.000-07:00

One of the media’s favorite phrases that they use to justify all their actions is “people’s right to know.” They apply that supposedly inalienable right to everything. Nevertheless, the people’s right to know is not in the Constitution. Yes, there is that phrase “freedom of the press,” but that just means that newspapers can print anything they want. It does not mean that reporters can uncover

"Natural" Selection

2006-06-22T20:02:00.000-07:00

Natural selection, put within the framework of evolution, has some serious problems as I indicated in my post yesterday. However there is a type of natural selection that happened that explains the variety within genera today. A type of natural selection did take place when (for example) dogs came to the Arctic: shorthaired dogs died of the cold; longhaired dogs lived and produced longhaired

World Cup Disappointment

2006-06-22T15:57:00.000-07:00

Well today Ghana beat USA 2-1. That ends a fairly disappointing World Cup for the MNT. They shone pretty well against Italy, but couldn't pull off a win.The rest of the tournament is still going though. The Final Game is July 9. Some good teams are Germany, England, Netherlands, and Brazil.We'll have to wait another 4 years, I guess.

Darwin's De-Evolution

2006-06-20T21:18:00.000-07:00

In London, they have made a museum out of Darwin’s house. They have idolized him and put his quotes on the walls as certain truth. In one room, they have a copy of Gen. 1 on the wall, saying in big, bold letters above it, “Darwin put these writings to shame.” In reality, Darwin’s ideas are not Gospel truth, and they have been undercut by recent discoveries in genetics and other areas. Darwin

Oh Yeah, I forgot

2006-06-19T20:16:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah, I forgot. There's also a lot of leakage going the other way recently too. Liberals who are afraid of Bush establishing a dictatorship are hitchhiking across the border, causing serious problems for the Canadian economy. There are only so many libs a country can stand at a time before things start going wrong. There are already enough leftists in Canada for their share, but I guess they

Another Border

2006-06-19T20:09:00.000-07:00

With all the worry about our porous Mexican border, people seem to ignore the northern Canadian border that has much looser security. We should be much more concerned about terrorists from the North than the tightly watched South. You can cross the border (at least the last I heard) without a passport. The checks are fairly easy to get through, and traffic reasonably thick. The border is a lot

The UN

2006-06-17T21:32:00.000-07:00

Pretty much everyone in the United States knows that the UN is dysfunctional. However there are some recent developments that are disturbing. One concern (and that’s stating it mildly) is the recent additions to the UN “Human Rights Council.” The new countries on the committee are: China, Russia, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, and (as if those weren’t bad enough) Cuba! What a nice list of

FairTax

2006-06-10T19:48:00.000-07:00

There is an intriguing proposal out there that promises to solve a lot of our economic problems. It’s called FairTax. FairTax replaces all taxes, Social Security, income, estate, etc., with one big 23% sales tax. According tax advocates, this would get rid of tax loopholes, complicated forms, the IRS, and many other things that annoy us. FairTax would let the economy run fairly free and help

Soccer

Since World Cup starts tomorrow, I thought I extrapolate the benefits of soccer in this blog. For those of you who don’t know everything, the FIFA World Cup is the quadrennial international soccer competition that is taking place in Germany this year. Most people don’t know that the largest and most attended sport event in the world is not the Olympics, but the World Cup. Nations from all over

Here's another positive news story coming out of Iraq: ABU MUSAB AL-ZARQAWI IS DEAD! At 6:15 PM yesterday night, two F-16's took off on a mission to a town north of Baghdad. They were guided there by many different intelligence sources including prisoner and tipster info. The sources said that Zarqawi was at a house there following his "spiritual advisor." Bad move. The fighters reached the

I meant to post this one on Memorial Day, but it didn't get done. I read this article in a paper, and thought it very interesting. By Norman Lino: Here's more on taps. We in the United States have all heard the haunting song known as taps. It's the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes. But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be

Subjective Realism

2006-06-06T18:41:00.000-07:00

There is another prevalent view today that is seriously in error. Along with Pelagianism this philosophy also attempts to give man an excuse for not trusting God. The idea: subjective realism. Subjective realism says that there are no absolutes. There is no absolute law, no absolute values, no absolute morals, etc. In other words, standards are in the eye of the beholder. This leads to all

It Takes a lot of Talent

2006-06-03T17:22:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how much the recent reports by the Department of Labor have been twisted by the media. The reports indicate the lowest levels of unemployment in five years. The mainstream media has "interpreted" the reports to say that job growth has declined. It's all part of the negativity that must come about when a Republican gets into office.Question: If unemployment levels are down, that means

Real Humor

2006-06-02T20:32:00.000-07:00

There is a movie out in theaters this week, and it’s called The Wild. This film comes as another attempt by Hollywood in recent years to try to create a funny, family-oriented film. Like usual, they have not succeeded. Hollywood’s concept of humor is very limited. To them, the only things that are funny are body functions and bathroom humor. Scriptwriters can’t think beyond those things for some

Communism's Failure

2006-06-01T19:59:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wonder why people still cling to communism. Since its earliest days, it has been disproven over and over and over again. One of the earliest instances I can think of is with the Jamestown colony. The settlers there set up a “common warehouse” system. Everything that was produced or acquired was distributed equally among all the colonists. Thus, no one was rewarded for hard labor, and

Giraffe Evolution?

2006-05-31T18:11:00.000-07:00

A lot of people say that they see evolution everywhere around them. They say that there is no field in science where they do not see its influence. Wait a second, you can’t have absolutes like that; it’s un-scientific. Whether something is evidence of creation or evolution all depends on your worldview, how you interpret the evidence, and your starting premises. If any of the above

Welfare

2006-05-30T13:44:00.000-07:00

Now there’s a touchy subject. Welfare was introduced in the '30s by FDR. The idea was that poverty would disappear in America by just throwing money at it. By taxing the rest of the country, they could redistribute the wealth to the poor. Despite the good intentions, the program does not work well. Poverty is still around, people are staying poor, and jobs are still lost. And no, the solution is

Hope for Education in California

2006-05-25T19:49:00.000-07:00

Okay, so the justice system in California still works and has a little integrity. I just found out that the California Supreme Court overruled an Alameda judge’s decision to ban the high school exit exam. The decision will reinstate an exit exam that 1/10 of the California students couldn’t pass on the first try. However, the decision is being appealed. The people who are against the test say

Modern Pelagianism

2006-05-24T19:52:00.000-07:00

There is a widely accepted viewpoint among secularists (and some “Christians” too) that in my opinion has its roots in Pelagianism. It is related to the sociopath, psychopath, and other interesting trail theories. The idea basically says that man’s sin is a result of his environment, or the bad influence of society. In other words, you’re not responsible for you’re actions; it was your bad

A Missed Chance

2006-05-22T18:46:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered why Patrick Henry never ran for President? There is (believe it or not) a reason. In the making of the Constitution, the Southerners and Northerners were disagreed (of course) on slavery. They didn’t want to make it a big issue, so they make a bad, behind the scenes, no good, shocking, sneaky, deal: no one would talk about it. All they said was that slaves would count as 3

Standards in Education

2006-05-20T20:01:00.000-07:00

In California on May 12, a judge recently rejected a high school exit exam that is required for 12th graders too graduate. There have been many challenges to this program since its conception by Jack O’Connell, the Superintendent of Public Instruction. He drafted this requirement so that public schools (in my opinion across the country) could regain their lost reputation as credible academic

I worked under a tourist visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval. During

Socialism's place

2006-05-16T20:42:00.000-07:00

You have probably noticed as you read my blog that I am not the most avid supporter of socialism. That’s right. I am against socialism in government. For those of you who missed my definition of socialism in a comment I wrote, here it is: Socialism is a system of government and economics similar, but not identical to communism. Marx said that socialism is the step in between capitalism and

The Origin of the Southwest

2006-05-13T19:57:00.000-07:00

Today in 1846, the U.S. declared war on Mexico in what is now known as the Mexican-American war (hmmm, I wonder how they came up with that title). The protesters for equal rights to illegal aliens say that we stole California and the Southwest from the Mexicans, and thus we are the aliens, not them. That’s just a plain lie. The Mexicans invaded Texas and attacked our

A Christian Influence and its Results

2006-05-12T19:40:00.000-07:00

With the recent immigration conflict, it’s good to know that we’re not alone in immigration troubles. Countries in Europe and the West generally are experiencing an influx of illegal aliens from the third world. In Europe particularly, Muslims are coming in from the Middle East and beginning to te the Continent. The lack of motivation, morals, and conviction of secular Europeans is being

George Washington

2006-05-11T19:30:00.000-07:00

George Washington was one of the greatest leaders this country has ever had. He stood strong in battle, he persevered and was an encouragement to his troops in hardship, he was wise in government, and for all indications; he was a Christian. Many attacks have been leveled against Washington. Yes, some of them are valid that he wasn’t the greatest of generals. But he wasn’t the worst either. Some

The Civil War

2006-05-11T11:29:00.000-07:00

Now I am very aware that this is a very touchy topic. Some people I know seem to think that Appomattox was only a ceasefire. They hang pictures of Lee or Grant on their walls and do homage to their respective sides. In my opinion, both sides had their faults and their favors; but that position was reached only after long, hard hours of meditation. (Not really, but I thought that would sound nice

Rairoads and the Civil War

2006-05-09T20:03:00.000-07:00

In the 1850s, railroads were becoming popular in America. The railroad had presented itself as a reliable, efficient, and (relatively) cheap way of transporting goods. Canals had become too expensive; not to mention that almost all the commercially feasible canal routes already had canals by the mid 1840s. Roads were unthinkable as an economical way of moving things. (Remember, they didn’t have

Politics! Oh Great.

2006-05-08T20:18:00.000-07:00

You know; it’s interesting the lack of difference between the Republican and Democratic parties today. One’s headed for the cliff at 100 mph.; the other is going in the same direction at 99. (I’m not going to tell you which one is which) Meanwhile, their programs are becoming similar as this country becomes more and more addicted to socialism. The Bush administration isn’t helping too much. Bush

I don't have the time to write much else, so I'll just mention the following that I read in a blog recently: The message of the Judas Gospel (see my post) is the same as saying that Abraham Lincoln asked John Wilkes Booth to him so that Abe could join his well-distinguished ancestors in heaven. That's a powerful but true comparison. It shows the non-sense of it all. Oh yeah, that's right;

Most people don't know that the Constitution was just one of many original documents that ruled our country in the early days. Before the 1790s, we had the Articles of Confederation, the Federal Charter, the New England Contract, the Eastern Seaboard Pact, the United Province Compact, and the United States Constitution. All these ruled the country and provided law and order for the people

The Gospel of Judas

2006-05-04T20:37:00.000-07:00

A better title would be “The Gospel of Satan.” I just read the National Geographic Magazine’s article on the Judas Gospel. First of all, before I delve into my rampage; I would like to put forth the question: “Since when does National Geographic cover heresies?” I guess it’s just part of their general trend toward politicizing everything. The Judas Gospel is a document that was discovered in the

A Sad Commentary

2006-05-04T18:54:00.000-07:00

Okay, so Mousauii just got the official verdict of life in prison. That's just sad. It shows where this country is going. We are heading for complacency, injustice, and social ruin. At least he is going to be confined by himself with no one else near him. At the end of the trial he walked out and said, "I won, America lost." He sees the truth, why don't we?

Global Warming: The Great Evolutionary Oppurtunity

2006-05-03T20:37:00.000-07:00

So evolutionists say that mutations are one of the best things that can happen to mankind. (Or any other type of life, for that matter) If this is true, why are mutations so feared?In Chernobyl, after the radioactive leak, there were several mutants that arose from the radiation. Only problem is that after they arose, they fell. All the mutants died out almost immediately. This happens with all

Hiroshima, Japan, and the U.S.

In the recent discussion about nuclear weapons, some people say, including Iran, that the U.S. has used nuclear without need against countries, but doesn’t want any one else to. Therefore, they say, we are hogging the power and want to te the world. However much I can agree with the last statement, the U.S. did not use atomic weapons against Japan for no reason. It was clearly

A Good Kind of Stem Cells

2006-05-01T20:30:00.000-07:00

There has been much talk recently about stem cell research and the moral, ethical, and medical consequences of it. Most people don’t know about the other alternatives to embryonic stem-cell research.In all the discussion, no one seems to mention that embryonic stem cells have never cured anyone. They talk so much about potential, but never bring up any instances of real cures. However, progress

"Tolerance"

2006-04-27T20:33:00.000-07:00

Many cases are appearing all over the country where Christians are being put down, suspended, or otherwise [[gasp]] discriminated against. It all goes under the label of "tolerance" and "diversity." But I'm wondering who is really being tolerant.In Georgia, a student is suing the university there because she was to speak out against homosexuality, and was forced to take a "diversity" class. In

Authenticity

2006-04-26T20:03:00.000-07:00

You know, it’s interesting that there are tons of books written, studies published, and time wasted trying to disprove the authenticity of the Bible. All this work done, in spite of the fact that the Bible is one of the most proven documents in the world. Prophecies have been fulfilled, historical facts confirmed, authorship proven; but people still doubt. I guess this is why the Bible says,

The "Unspeakable" Penalty

2006-04-26T18:09:00.000-07:00

Okay, this just angers me. I just got finished watching the news. Ya, I've heard (actually read) Moussaoui’s talkbacks and arrogant replies; but I never thought I would see the day when Americans (let alone victims of the criminal) would say that a person who wanted to kill their relatives; and still openly admits to it, deserves to live and not die. It is a very sad example of the state of this

The Da-Vinci Code, aka, the Big Lie

2006-04-22T19:45:00.000-07:00

It's interesting; a lot of these programs and books leading up to the release of the movie version of The Da-Vinci Code are one-sided. Yeah, there are a lot of good rebuttals, but hey, I don't like talking about stuff that I already agree with. Anyway, we'll just act like the good rebuttals don't exist.All these people on the liberal side seem to think that what's going on now is something new.

Rock Dating: The True Story II

2006-04-19T21:00:00.000-07:00

In the previous post, I explained the flaws in carbon dating. Now, I am going to deal with some of the other methods for rock dating. This includes isotope ratio dating (radiometric) and isochron dating. Isotope dating is based on one radioactive element (parent element) decaying into another more stable one (daughter product) at a certain rate. Scientists measure the concentrations of each,

Rock Dating: The True Story

2006-04-17T20:12:00.000-07:00

Many people think that the dating methods evolutionists use are infallible. It is also commonly thought that all dating methods point to an old earth. In reality there are many flaws in these processes. This entry will deal with carbon dating. Carbon dating is one of the most commonly cited methods for the dating of dinosaurs and other organisms. It works only in things that contain carbon.

Easter

2006-04-15T19:42:00.000-07:00

Since Easter is tommorow, I would like to remind all of you the true meaning of Easter.Easter is not about a bunch of bunnies hopping around eating chocolate. It is commemorating the resurrection Jesus Christ. In this resurrection He conquered . Now, because of that, we can have life in Him if we believe in Him. The resurection also symbolizes the Father's recognition of Jesus'

A response to Axinar

2006-04-15T19:31:00.000-07:00

There's this guy, axinar, and he has a blog. This a response to him since there wasn't enough room in his comment section.You're talking about theistic evolutionists there. I'm not one of them. A few of the things I was talking about in my comment are here if you want to look it up. Mind you, not all of their stuff is completely watertight.

The Golden Mean

2006-04-15T19:05:00.000-07:00

There is one, very interesting mathematical concept that is not very widely known, but is intriguing to those to know about it.The Golden Mean, or Phi, is an irrational number that equals 1.618.... It is a ratio that appears everywhere in nature. The Fibbonaci series is very closely related to it, since the difference between the numbers of the Fibbonaci series above 8 is roughly phi. Spirals are

Quakers and Puritans: The Difference

2006-04-14T19:55:00.000-07:00

A term has come into common use in the past century. The term: puritanical. It has come to mean something or someone who is completely bland, serious, and harsh in terms of morals. Not many things in this world are further from the truth.Most people mistake the Puritans for the Quakers. The Quakers were the ones who always wore black, and were always serious. In fact, the Quakers often accused

Evolution and Racism

2006-04-13T20:21:00.000-07:00

Yes, I’m using the “r” word.Racism has been a plague to western culture from its very beginning: The Romans against the Goths, the Europeans against the Gypsies, the whites against the blacks, the Arians against the Jews, etc. Now Christians certainly were, embarrassingly, involved in some of this. Christians held slaves. But if you look at the accounts, true Christians treated their servants

A Sharp Contrast

2006-04-12T20:06:00.000-07:00

Before I start this post, I have to admit that the idea came from John Piper’s article in World Magazine on Feb 18, 2006. It was called Being Mocked. It was such a good article that I felt I had to post it in my own words. One interesting thing about the recent Danish cartoons and the ensuing reaction to them is the difference between the ministries of Mohammed and Jesus, and thus between

A Glaring Unconstitutional Program

2006-04-11T19:53:00.000-07:00

In my last blog post, I established that humanism is a religion. Now, I am going to take this concept to one of its logical conclusions.There have been many discussions, court cases, and legal fights about the religious part of the first amendment, where it applies, and seperation of church and state. Here it is, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting

The Religion of America

2006-04-08T18:58:00.000-07:00

The Webster's dictionary definition of religion is “noun, any system of belief, worship, conduct etc., often involving a code of ethics and a philosophy.” Then, logically, you could say what no one else seems to want to admit: humanism is a religion.Let’s go through the adjectives in the definition to see if they match humanism. Belief: Yes, humanism is a belief. Worship: Yup, they worship man,

Anathema to the Foundation of our Culture? II

2006-04-06T19:33:00.000-07:00

A few posts ago, I discussed and refuted an argument put forth by an evolutionist who said that the belief in God was "anathema to the foundation of our culture." In case I didn't hammer home my point hard enough, I will include a few more of the many, many facts for those who still doubt Christianity's influence.In "A Common Misconception," I pointed out the part of the scientific influence of

Education in the 1920s

2006-04-04T20:57:00.000-07:00

The deterioration of public education in this country is well known. Students are getting low scores and suffer from a lack of motivation, enrollment is shifting from public to private and home schools, and grade inflation is on a runaway train, etc. Most people say that we need to pour more money into the system. But what the students are learning, who they’re learning it from, and why they’re

The All-Volunteer Army

2006-04-03T19:54:00.000-07:00

One thing the anti-war protesters can't say about the current war is that it isn't a drafted army fighting over there like there was in Vietnam. They can't say anymore that the boys went against their will. In reality the military was designed to work as an all-volunteer service by the founding fathers.This is what the Constitution in Article 1, Section 8 says about the drafted army and what it

A Fragile Border

2006-04-01T20:24:00.000-08:00

One of the hot news stories today is illegal immigrants and the porous U.S.-Mexican border. Some say we should allow all immigrants to just come in, do their business, and go out again. Others say we should reject all of the Mexican "immigrants" and shun them back across the border.If we accept the former, we will have thousands of Hispanics pouring into the country, some being beneficial members

Voting in the early 1800s

2006-03-31T20:49:00.000-08:00

Voting for President from 1789 to the early 1800s was a very different affair from what it is now. Back then, each congressional district elected the President separately from the others in the state. For example, a rural district in upstate New York would vote for one for one guy, and the elector of that district would vote that same guy; regardless of whom New York City voted for. At the end of

The Importance of the Constitution

2006-03-30T20:12:00.000-08:00

The Constitution is obviously the most important document in U.S. government. If people would study it more, and follow its well thought out principles, our country would be better off. Why do you think almost all other free countries based their constitutions on ours?People make a big deal about the "implied powers" clause. Here's what it actually says: "To make all Laws which shall be necessary

Darwinist Intolerance

2006-03-29T20:00:00.000-08:00

One interesting thing about the ID vs. evolution debates going on in school councils and courts right now is the utter reluctance of the Darwinists to even consider anything but their own theory as true. They won't even let Darwinism be questioned.When ID people say that evolution is only a theory and therefore liable to questioning, they retort by saying that gravity and quantum mechanics are

New Orleans and the ineffectiveness of Socialism

2006-03-25T14:41:00.000-08:00

The big story in the media for a long time (and they're still harping on it) was the botched government response to hurricane Katrina. Yes, you can say it wasn't botched and present all kinds of evidence that it wasn't; maybe you're right, but nevertheless the problem still was there, as it has been in various degrees of seriousness in other disasters. One thing nobody seems to mention is the

Anathema to the foundation of our culture?

2006-03-24T16:04:00.000-08:00

I was surfing a few blogs yesterday when I came across a quote from some article that said, (in effect) "A belief in God is anathema to the very foundation of our culture." I just laughed. I wondered, has this person taken any world history from 0-2006 A.D.? But enough ridiculing; let me show just a portion of Christianity's influence on Western Civilization. (Since all of it would overload the

A Common Misconception

2006-03-23T18:15:00.000-08:00

It is commonly assumed that creationists are a bunch of unscientific, superstitious hoboes who are trying to undermine true science.Does a belief in creation and God hinder scientific research? Well, let's look at the facts: Sir Francis Bacon, establisher of the scientific method, believed in creation; so did Johannes Kepler, author of New Astronomy explaining the three laws of planetary motion;

What are the Pro Rege Papers?

2006-03-20T19:33:00.000-08:00

Pro Rege means "for the King" (in Latin). The object of this blog is to proclaim political, educational, economic, and historical principles in the light of God the King's Word. My hope is that readers will be educated and edified with a biblical worldview of various subjects.My name is Matt, plain and simple, and I encourage you to post your comments as you wish.
