Ending America, Part 2

by james on May 7, 2012

in Education, Environmental

Last week I wrote about how dark green religion seeks to shut down humans by limiting access to energy. The elephant in the room is, in fact, the population question. The reason is, as environmentalists know too well, that poverty is a terrible recipe for a healthy environment. The examples I gave last week showed [...]

Ending America, and the world, Part 1

by james on April 25, 2012

in Education, Environmental

The ultimate resource is the free human being, and the master resource is energy. Control energy, and control human beings. Humans become slaves when energy is denied them, as the green movement is so effectively doing through the world. The irony is that destroying human liberty does not help the environment. Unfortunately, politicians are almost [...]

Terrible Twins: The Synergy between Environmentalism and Evolutionism

April 12, 2012

This seminar was presented at the Creation Study Group, Greenville, SC in February 2012.

The virtue of questioning ‘science’

April 9, 2012

Eco-links (week of 4/1/2012)

March 31, 2012

So sorry – We really don’t want to control every aspect of your life. We have no choice. It is just that to keep you safe, because you are so irresponsible and infantile in your thinking, and because the world is such a dangerous place, and because we are so clever (much more than you), [...]

March 28, 2012

  Misleading claims about shale gas development serve dogma but not the public interest by Paul Driessen The Sierra Club and other environmental pressure groups are redoubling their efforts to “stop fracking in its tracks.” No wonder.

Feynman on Quantum Magic

March 16, 2012

As always Richard Feynman continues to dazzle me and challenge my thinking on physics. As I prepare lectures for a quantum mechanics course, these words from Feynman remain challenging to me.  Feynman is always wrestling with the implications of physics and epistemology. Of course, physics is natural philosophy; those practicing physics at the highest level [...]

Reflections on the Nature of Science

February 28, 2012

Introduction Presented at New Life Presbyterian Church, Escondido, CA in February 2012   “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent [...]

Preserving the illusion of privacy – keeping Google’s peeping Tom at bay

February 25, 2012

On how to get google out of your bedroom. Why should one cut down on internet browsing? Reason 10,101: Everyone has an opinion, and not all are equally worthy of your time. There is so much junk that one can spend a lot of time sifting through trash that someone knocked out in 5 minutes, [...]
