My solemn word that anything you see posted here is genuine

You might have noticed a slight addition to this blog.  It's on the header, toward the right of the screen.  There now appears the following label:  I have heard all kinds of insane stories about people using ChatGPT and other "artificial intelligences" as something more than a curiosity.  Students have begun having AI write papers for classes. ...

In-vitro adoptions rising among evangelical Christians

Krista Kapralos writes a most fascinating piece in The Washington Post this week: about how evangelical Christians are coming to the forefront of adopting frozen embryos that have been fertilized in-vitro. The article cites that there could be approximately 600,000 embryos being stored in liquid nitrogen around the United States. And that in keeping with their pro-life...

The obvious question about WGSR

In the past month or so WGSR general manager Charles Roark has broadcast footage of no less than three murder victims (before knowing if the next of kin had been notified), and at this moment is defending his "right" to trespass on property and film video of a person's house burning down without regard of what the guy's family was going through. In addition to every other amount of callous disrespect toward others that WGSR under his management...

Simpson and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme via satellite from prison in...

Government to sanction medical experiments without patient consent

Read the story at the Houston Chronicle site here.The first things that flashed in my mind when I read this story were Nazi "doctors" like Josef Mengele, and the Tuskegee Experiment (which was conducted by the American government, by the way).Someday "they" will go too far - if they haven't already - and the Man in Room Five is going to break free and come looking for them.(Props to anyone who will recognize that literary referenc...

Britain to allow human-animal hybrids

Ever heard of the Book of Enoch? It's not widely accepted as Christian "canon" (although some Coptic Christians consider it to be inspired scripture) but it was mentioned in the Book of Jude (that's the next-to-last one in the Bible just before Revelation). I've read it a couple of times since first hearing about it several years ago. And it's quite an interesting read. Among other things according to the Book of Enoch, the Flood was sent by...
