Dear Christian Homeschoolers, Please don’t get our homeschool conferences confused with the other organization that recently disinvited Ken Ham to an event after he publicly called into question the faith of another Christian vendor. Granted, the names of the two organizations sound similar (theirs is Great Homeschool Conventions; ours is Great American Homeschool Conferences), but, unlike GH events, ours are “Christ-centered and stand for the literal truth [...]

It’s not often that I agree with evangelical Christians on topics related to religion, but I’m totally onboard with what this young believer from Texas had to tweet last weekend. Every once in a while (but not often enough, apparently), I do check in on Pastor Rick. When I did so this time, I noticed something that piqued [...]

What a dork. Texas Rep. Bill Zedler has introduced one of those anti-evolution ”academic freedom” bills because, When was the last time we’ve seen someone go into a windstorm or a tornado or any other kind of natural disaster, and say “Guess what? That windstorm just created a watch.” Uh, duh, Bill. You can find windstorm watches all over the place – [...]

Here in California, we’re always being urged to use public transportation instead of vehicles occupied only by the driver. All sorts of incentives are offered to get people to make the switch, but not enough progress has been made. Hopefully, government administrators read my blog because I’ve just discovered the answer to increasing public transport ridership. “Just a [...]

Hi, Everybody. This is Pastor Steven Anderson. Pastor Steven recently read an article reporting that chickens and T. rex shared a common ancestor. Of course, he thinks it said that dinosaurs turned into chickens (like most creationists, Steven doesn’t understand the concept of creatures descending from a common ancestor). So, to share the laugh with his flock, he has [...]

I noticed that my post, “Scientists know more science,” was included in the latest edition of Carnival of Homeschooling. Thank you to the person who submitted it. And, thanks also to Alasandra for including it. For those who missed the original post, it was a brief mention of a recent survey.
