Is Starlight Travel Time Incompatible with the Biblical Account of Creation? Pt. I

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 27, 2012 / Comments Off on Is Starlight Travel Time Incompatible with the Biblical Account of Creation? Pt. I

How do those like me who believe in a recent creation and that the days of Genesis chapter one are actual solar (24 hour) days (see my article A Day is A Day) reconcile that with the time scientists say is necessary for starlight to travel to earth? Astrophysicist John Hartnett succinctly states the difficulty…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 22, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Who Should Pay For My Insurance When I Choose to Follow God?

Many years ago, I worked for the Rock Island Railroad, and I had Traveler’s health insurance, which is simply the best of the best. It was grand and paid everything. Then I left the railroad to devote all of my energy to my business. That decision included leaving my paid insurance and having to find…

Think About IT: Crisis Is the Fuel for Expanding Government

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 15, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Crisis Is the Fuel for Expanding Government

While there are genuine crises, the federal government has an insatiable penchant for making almost everything a crisis. Why? Because government understands that calling something a crisis is an effective demagogical tool for justifying otherwise unjustifiable expansion of the government’s involvement and control of “we the people”. However, we need to remember that if everything…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 6, 2012 / Comments Off on How I Know a Dynamic View of the Constitution is WRONG!

Those who believe the Constitution was intended to be a living document and thereby give supposed justification for legislating from the bench are not only wrong, but they are demonstrably wrong.

Think About IT: Evolution is Short on Information

By Ronnie W. Rogers / February 27, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Evolution is Short on Information

The key for Darwinian evolution is the increase in information and the transmission of such. For example, the information needed for slime to produce more slime only needs to be sufficiently slimy, but the information needed to transition to a sophisticate is indeed astronomic. “That is, particles-to-people evolution requires changes that increase genetic information (e.g.,…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / February 18, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: The Case of the Missing Rib—SOLVED

Some skeptics as well as some sincere questioners ask, “If God took a rib from Adam to make Eve, then why don’t men have one less rib than women?” The answer is simply, he would not pass on a lost rib onto the next generation anymore than he would pass on a missing finger, toe,…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / February 7, 2012 / Comments Off on Reflections of a Disenchanted Calvinist: The Disquieting Realities of Calvinism

My latest book has finally reached the point of publication. Although I do not think that reading the introduction of a book, including my other two, is critical to understand it, this book is an exception. To fully understand the format, terms used, and the spirit in which I wrote the book, it is essential…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / January 31, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Debt—the Soil of Totalitarianism

Debt, Decline, and Dictatorship – what they have in common can be seen from a page of antiquity. Concerning Rome, “Real problems began when the limits of imperial expansion were reached in the second century. With no new territories to loot, the Roman treasury became seriously overstretched, and the emperors resorted to a policy of…

Think About IT: When Adoption Is Better!

By Ronnie W. Rogers / January 23, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: When Adoption Is Better!

One may be led by God to adopt even when becoming pregnant is an option. However, when one contemplates whether to use egg or sperm donors, adoption is always the better choice. While in vitro fertilization is fine when the sperm and/or egg of the married couple are used, it is morally wrong to use…

Think About IT: In Banning Torture We Dare Not Fail to Ask What It IS

By Ronnie W. Rogers / January 16, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: In Banning Torture We Dare Not Fail to Ask What It IS

There is much debate about whether we should use torture at times, but I for one do not support the use of torture; however, I do disagree with some regarding what torture IS. Torture cannot mean just the infliction of pain or even pain that would be rightly considered inhumane in other situations. Some interrogative…
