The Coming Collapse of Macroevolution: A Forensic Evaluation of Origins Science What we have before us is not science, it is Speculation that has become a materialistic Structure. We have witnessed in the last 100 years how origins science came to protect a story long after the evidence ran out. There is a point where scientific speculation stops acting like a temporary bridge and starts acting like a permanent building. That is the problem.

Alan, drop the insults (it is a sign of you immaturity) for a moment and deal with the argument. No one needs to “lie” when the question is still open at key levels. Strong claims require strong evidence, not volume. You brought up the eye. Good. Let’s examine it carefully. You’re correct on one point… different forms of eyes exist, and there are models that describe stepwise changes from light-sensitive cells to more complex structures. That’s widely discussed in biology.

Steve, you’re mixing two very different things and treating them as the same. Yes, science progresses through testing, correction, and refinement. No argument there. Planes fly, diseases get treated, and rockets land on the moon. That shows we can understand how systems behave once they exist. But that is not the same question as where those systems came from in the first place.

Breaking bread together is important. So is sitting at a table in the presence of enemies. This essay explores why I think we need to do more of both.

THE MASON BRIEF | PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Why Unguided Evolution Has Not Lived Up to Its Promise The methods of biological research are built on, and why stricter standards should be required for the hardest questions.

What We Actually Know About Biological Complexity A forensic way to separate direct observation from origin storytelling Whenever people bring up the topic of biological complexity, they usually make it sound like every side of the issue is valid. Not at all.

Harriet Monsell’s life offers a countercultural freedom: the courage to love without needing results. A widowed woman who rebuilt her life at Clewer, she created sanctuary for those Victorian society discarded—not through programs or metrics, but through holy indifference, the spiritual practice of releasing outcomes to God. Her community loved without tiring, stayed without demanding transformation, and trusted God with what they could not fix. In an age obsessed with saving, measuring, and proving effectiveness, Monsell reminds us that faithfulness—not success—is the work. Love now; let God hold the rest.

MIND & METHOD · DB-FEP FIELD NOTES Why smart people stop thinking and how to start again. A herd of antelope is grazing peacefully. One bolts. Within seconds, every animal in the field is running — not one of them knows why. Tyler Thornton calls this a mind bind. And before you assume it only happens to antelopes, consider the last time you shared something outrageous without checking if it was true. The last time you agreed with someone was primarily because everyone around you agreed. The last time you felt pressure to believe something, it felt like a reason. That was a mind-bender.

I was raped. But I was also raised in a culture that made that possible and then tried to make me feel crazy for seeing it. And that’s the part of the story people don’t want to hear.

Tom Skinner replied to my comment on: "Featured Meme…": I don't care what you believe, evolution is an irrefutable fact and you are a flagrant liar. I have enough of your lies. Blocked. So, you know me… lol. Tom, your response proves something important.

Have you ever seen an atheist afraid to make a positive claim? Well, I have had several atheist pins downed on some very bad atheist talking points, they were in that precarious corner. So, once in that corner, they try to play, I don’t believe card. People say atheism is not an ideology. They say it is just a lack of belief in God. I understand why that line is popular. It sounds humble. It sounds restrained. It sounds like the atheist is making no grand claim at all. He is simply unconvinced. At the smallest dictionary level, I can grant that point. A person can lack belief in God without building a full philosophy around that lack. A man can say, “I am not convinced,” and stop there. My problem is that many public atheists do not stop there.

Welcome to my lab, everyone. Today, we’re looking at the work of Harris and DeGiorgio, two scientists who decided to tackle the messy world of "shared selective sweeps." To help me make sense of it, I’ve brought out my favorite high-tech plaything: the Design Biology Forensic Evaluation Protocol (DB-FEP). I know, the name is a mouthful. It sounds like something a robot would use to audit a toaster, but it’s actually my secret weapon for sniffing out whether a scientific paper is "Pure Fact" or "Science Fiction with better math."

So there I was, just thinking as usual. Then I started to see some patterns in the world today that paralleled history. So I just had to run a thought experiment to see what was going on. The cleanest way to read 1925–1935 is like this. In 1925, it appeared to stabilize after World War I, while in 1935, it appeared to break down. In 1925, Europe still had the “Spirit of Locarno" [1], Germany was being pulled back into diplomacy, and the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 reflected real hope that another great war could be avoided. By 1935, that hope had been shattered by the 1929 crash (America is almost $40 trillion in debt), the Depression, tariff retaliation, Japanese (Japan is rising to meet Chinese aggression) expansion in Manchuria, Hitler’s consolidation of power (the coming rise of an Antichrist in Europe, maybe?), and Mussolini’s (Putin invaded the Ukraine) invasion of Ethiopia.

Scenario 3: Sharia Law Imposition – "The Caliphate Awakening". Echoing Iran's Islamic Republic formation and France's radical Jacobin phase. Backdrop (Overthrow Phase, 2035): Immigration tensions and cyberattacks weaken the U.S. A fictional Islamist network, the "American Ummah Alliance," led by Imam Rashid Al-Hadi (an exiled scholar returning like Khomeini), exploits the chaos. Alliances with disaffected communities lead to uprisings in key cities. Government falls after sieges of D.C. and military splits; Al-Hadi declares an "Islamic Federation," promising divine justice.

Migration in America has always been a sacred act of survival — from the Great Migration to today’s border crossings to the quiet exodus of LGBTQ+ people fleeing hostile states. This piece traces how the Episcopal Church moved from standing over Black migrants to learning how to stand with those on the move today, including the Motahari sisters and others detained in the past year. It asks what memory demands of us now: whether we will let the stories of women who carried these movements become maps for justice, or whether we will confuse naming the damage with repairing it. Three migrations, one longing — to live, to be safe, to be welcomed. Tradition Remixed invites us to remember differently and move with the people still on the road.

Why do Atheists and Materialists always run away? TJ Berens either asked or answered this question on Quora. “What evidence establishes the human-chimp divergence date, what generation time applies to the hominin lineage, and what total number of generations T do those two values produce? TJ is an Aerospace Defense Consultant.

Cultural Sociologist, Institute for Urban Culture “The rise in feminine visibility isn’t just about fashion. It’s about a generational renegotiation of masculinity. Our 2026 data indicates that over 60% of young Polish men have experimented with gender-nonconforming elements in style. That’s historically unprecedented in this country.”

On this day (24 February) in 1570, Pope Pius V excommunicated Elizabeth I of England. He was trying to make a political point and shore up the Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain. Instead his actions birthed the via media and allowed a tradition rooted not in uniformity but in common prayer to flourish. In pushing Elizabeth out, Rome gave Anglicanism room to breathe. For anyone who has been misunderstood, pressured to choose a side, or told they do not belong, the middle way offers another path. It invites us to honor what has been lost, to guard the sacred interior with gentleness, and to trust that clarity can emerge even without certainty. The middle is not weakness. Exile is not abandonment. It is the quiet space where courage takes root and where God still meets us.

“Hey — I built a short online course, and I’m letting friends and family try it free before I open it to the public. I want honest feedback on clarity, pacing, and whether it fairly represents the opposing view. Can you spend 45 minutes this week, complete Module 1, and fill out a 5-minute feedback form? If you think something is weak or confusing, tell me. That helps. “Beta Tester Checklist” After Module 1, please send me: Where did you get confused (lesson name or timestamp)? What felt strongest, and why? What felt weakest or overstated, and why? Did the course represent the opposing view fairly (yes/no + example)? What should be shortened, removed, or rewritten? Would you recommend it to a friend (yes/no + why)? charles-mason-s-school1… https://charles-mason-s-school1.teachable.com/courses/enrolled/2938049

There is a person in my life whom I have known for many, many years. He (he does go by he) is someone who has always been at family holidays, dinners, things like that. He’s a very, very nice person, and we get along well. He’s from the generation before me, and I’m Gen X. Recently, he started showing up at dinner with fingernails painted a very eye-catching shade of metallic blue, a very nice pair of earrings, and a silk scarf. I will call him Rob, although that isn’t his name.
