How Does The World Work?
These ruminations were inspired by a recent David Klinghoffer blog post. I assume that you accept evolution. (With Dennis Prager, I believe that God created evolution.) I notice that the more I use evolution to explain the world, the less … Continue reading

What’s The Point Of Group Pride?
