As some of my readers already know, I'm a Respiratory Therapist. My coworkers and I are working on the front lines in the fight against COVID19, or what is also known as the Coronavirus or the Wuhan Virus. In the weeks since this all entered the mainstream news, I've heard some pretty outrageous things coming... Continue Reading →
Recently, Pope Francis said that COVID-19 (The Wuhan Virus or #WuhanVirus) is not a punishment from God, but rather a punishment from Mother Nature (see here). I wholeheartedly disagree with that assertion. Our God is the God of nature, and nature is not really our "mother." If it is, then she's a bitch, plain and... Continue Reading →
It's like watching a horror movie. A deadly plague reaches our shores. The president declares a national emergency. Groceries and household items, like toilet paper and bottled water, disappear off the supermarket shelves. The stock market plunges, over and over again, businesses shut down.

This conflict primarily exists in the Protestant world, but bleeds over into Catholicism as well. Nowhere is this more evident than in the ongoing conflict between evolution and creationism. The players... Continue Reading →
In my last essay, There Is A God, I argued that belief in God is not only reasonable and logical but that it's also totally natural. Belief in a Creator, or Divinity, has been the natural order of things throughout man's history, and in spite of the temporary aberration called Marx-Darwinian Atheism, the majority of...

When looking for proof for the existence of God, people will usually turn to science and philosophy. The two are very different disciplines. Science is not the search for truth.
