British values were Evangelical Christian values
We live, now, in a low trust society. We now expect our governments to deceive us into compliance using psychological manipulation. We assume our insurance company will be rewarding our loyalty by quietly escalating our premiums. We have no way of negotiating the cashless world without a bank account, but the banks are free to freeze our account without explanation at any time. And, of course, we take it for granted that abortions, divorces and STD will increase exponentially, that schools and universities will teach our kids perversion and political propaganda, that real wages and jobs will decline as corrupt oligarchs prosper, and that the police and courts will routinely … Continue reading

Donald Campbell and Darwinian theory
A YouTube video by a member of the engineering team that salvaged and restored Donald Campbell’s jet boat Bluebird from Lake Coniston explores why the boat’s recent return to that lake proved a bit of a damp squib.

Speech suppression more contagious than COVID – and certainly deadlier
Thames Valley Police have (through some legal device or other) cancelled an Oxford Union Debate, promoted by the Union’s female Muslim president, on whether Islam is compatible with Western civilization. She had invited Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox and Rev Calvin Robinson, and reportedly even Jacob Rees-Mogg, to speak.

Nudging society to destruction
Apart from anticipating the likely collapse of our entire fiat monetary system, I’ve been vaguely concerned that, as a blogger sometimes dealing with controversial subjects, I might find myself among the half million Brits now debanked each year, since the Nigel Farage case brought the issue to light. After all, I’ve already had my account blocked a couple of times, simply for making perfectly legitimate purchases the bank’s algorithms disliked. It took long calls to fraud departments to re-open it (with no way of stopping the same thing happening next time). What I didn’t expect was that my church would be debanked first.

Unite the Kingdom May 16
I suppose many of my UK readers will be up to speed on the rally in London yesterday, organised by the infamous Tommy Yaxley-Robinson, originally known as Stephen Real-Name. But I attach a few remarks, partly for overseas readers wondering what England has become.

Paul in Athens
When our Pastor reached the last part of Acts 17 in our serial exposition of Acts last week, I realised that Paul’s address to the Areopagus Society was even cleverer than I’ve always assumed.

Does matter matter?
A stimulating four-way discussion between mathematicians David Berlinski, Sergiu Klainerman, and philosopher of science Stephen Meyer, mediated by Peter Robinson, proposes that the existence of mathematics is a likely defeater for naturalist materialism, and a strong argument for theism.

We meet the Word in the word, not in the world
When I was writing The Generations of Heaven and Earth I made extensive use of John H. Sailhamer’s The Meaning of the Pentateuch. It was somewhere in that large tome, if memory serves, that he wrote something to the effect that theology should not be concerned with historical events, as such, but with the Bible’s record of historical events.
