Catholic Church Ordained Women Before, Can Do it Again

…to be the same fears and misconceptions. Honestly, the trajectory of deacon-priest-bishop is relatively recent—only about 700 or 800 years in the long history of the Church. In fact, the earlier understanding is that the deacon would become a bishop! I sometimes wonder if the naysayers are more afraid of women bishops than of women priests. But, in modern times, we have reestablished the tradition of a diaconate lived permanently. All priests are…

Can Christians Lie? How Conservative Evangelical Bible Interpretation Has Shaped ‘Truth’

…amentalist) Christian cell biologist Kenneth Miller writes of debating well-known creation scientist Henry Morris. Morris was one of the most famous Young Earth creationists, having co-authored with John C. Whitcomb The Genesis Flood (1961), a book, according to Harding, “steeped in scientific and scholarly trappings.” Miller, accepting biological evolution like virtually all professional scientists today, writes of a private conversation he had w…

Religion vs. Science: America’s Perilous Fight

…with scientific-sounding arguments supporting the biblical account of a six-day creation within the past 10,000 years followed by a catastrophic flood. Addressing somewhat different concerns, “Intelligent Design” (or ID) is both less biblical and less scientific than young-earth creationism. This is apparent in the writings of ID guru Phillip Johnson, a retired Berkeley law professor. His target is the working assumption of science that material e…

Capricology: Television, Tech, and the Sacred

…omeone back from the dead. Here, it is not so much an act of creation as re-creation. This is also a theme in science fiction (think about A.I. and Astroboy as two examples) where a sense of profound loss—in all three cases, that of the father of a dead child—leads them to technological breakthroughs and the creation of alternative life forms. I was most taken though by the plight of Adama’s daughter, who is brought back from the dead not through…

Welcome to the Shari’ah Conspiracy Theory Industry

…im organizations fall into lock-step with it, stems solely from a single 20-year-old document written by a single Brotherhood member in 1991. In the controversial terrorism financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation, which first resulted in a mistrial in 2007, and convictions in a 2008 re-trial, federal prosecutors introduced a document, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.” Gaffney and others h…

HuffPo Columnist Tries to Link Darwin to Hitler

…Huffington Post, perhaps a bit sensitive at being criticized for their anti-science views by name, changed the wording to read: Creationists do a poor service to the memory of Holocaust victims by using their deaths in a politically motivated attack against science. David Klinghoffer, his fellow creationists, and those who give them a platform should be ashamed of themselves for pushing and allowing a tactic rejected by a US federal court judge as…

The Biblical Money Code!

…kes a lot of his one big win, when, late last year, he predicted that Best Buy would jump from $11 a share to $40. Currently Best Buy is trading at around $34—not quite Hyman’s prediction, but still an impressive jump. Beyond that it’s difficult to say, though Hyman seems to have had a lot of success as an investment advisor. He claims to have more than 57,000 subscribers to his “Ultimate Wealth Report” (that’s around $2.68m) and he’s been peddlin…

Dinos and Demons and Swedes, Oh My! It May Be Cartoonish, but Evangelical Radicalism Isn’t Just a Sideshow

…ntative Greg Gianforte appear to support the anti-science ideology of young-Earth creationism—and they are surely not the only members of Congress who do. Even if 40% of U.S. adults hold to the same view, we should be alarmed if not surprised at its influence in government, where policy should be based on facts. All of which brings us back to both the homeschooling connection and The Creation Museum. In her book, Building God’s Kingdom: Inside the…

Scope Bacon, Twttr Hoaxes & Joel Osteen’s Big Reveal

…e April Fool’s Day fun with elaborate pranks. Twitter announced, in a Wheel-of-Fortune-inspired joke, that it was launching a “two-tiered service” in which users would now have to buy their vowels. The “basic service,” Twttr, which includes only consonants, would usher in a “more efficient and ‘dense’ form of communication.” For $5 a month, users could purchase vowels too using the “premium” Twitter service (“y”s are free). “Hppy prl fl’s dy,” rea…

The Missing Element in the Conversation on Christian Nationalism and Freedom: Whiteness

…alism operates. The one religion is Christianity. Which brings me, in a not-so-roundabout way, to the ongoing obtuseness of the New York Times’s primary explainer-in-chief regarding all things religious. Yes, friends, I’m speaking of the Rev. David Brooks. If Elizabeth Anker misses the white Christian character of “ugly freedoms,” Pastor Brooks utterly misses the centrality of race and racism in the formation of the evangelicals-gone-rogue he fret…
