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

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.

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.
