The Mutation Myth: what Evolution doesn't want you to know (8 minutes)
We’re told random mutations drive evolution– mutations are supposed to be "the engine behind every new trait and species on Earth." Turns out, though, that what the science shows again and again is mutations don't build life, they break it down! Interestingly, breaking things down can sometimes help an organism, in much the way that stripping the seats out of your car can make it more fuel-efficient. But this kind of breaking things down doesn't show how new molecular machines could be built.
This is from Discovery Science, an Intelligent Design think tank. They aren't creationist, or even specifically Christian. So all they are showing here are the scientific shortcomings of Evolution, and if you want more of that, be sure to check out their Science Uprising series.
There are good and bad reasons to leave a church
....and it might just be the reason you are thinking you should leave is an indication of why God wants you to stay.
The case for sexfulness in marriage
This is a longer article on an seldom-discussed topic, because it is PG-rated (but only to the same degree as the Song of Songs is).
How many dominos do we go back in Indigenous land claims?
John Carpay offers a basically secular take in the linked article about Indigenous land claims, so I'll offer up a biblical passage that has some application (and there are certainly others). Matthew 7:1-2 says it is justice to have the measure by which we judge others applied to ourselves. In the land acknowledgments stated before university classes and municipal meetings, there's sometimes a reference to tribes who have been here "from time immemorial" or some such phrase. The point of that claim is that the European settlers took it relatively recently from Indigenous tribes who had been there previously forever.
But Indigenous tribes moved, and caused other tribes to move on. So the Indigenous group that might have had land taken from them by the settlers, did the same to whoever lived there before them – the dominoes go back way more than just the one block. So, if the last must be returned, then why just to the most recent tribe who themselves were takers too? And if that standard is thought unreasonable because of how hard it would be to work out, then let's apply this new "workability standard" to the situation today too.
US abortions rose more than 20% after Roe vs. Wade
In 2022 the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, which had legalized abortion the US for the past previous 50 years, was overturned. But the overturned decision didn't actually protect the unborn – it just made it legal for the individual states to start doing so. Some started. But the Trump administration has allowed Joe Biden-era "abortion by mail" prescriptions to continue, and this kind of abortion has exploded since 2022. The end result? Abortions have risen from an average of 80,000/month in 2022, to 98,000/month in 2025.
This highlights how it isn't just a legal ruling we need to save the unborn, and not even a somewhat sympathetic government, as the American pro-life movement has in the Trump administration. What's been largely missing from the abortion debate is an explicitly Christian witness that explains why we need to protect unborn children everywhere, not simply in some states. We need to challenge our culture, teaching them that while they have no explanation for anyone's worth God has given us value by making us in His Image (Gen. 9:6). Like in every aspect of life, what we need here is the Gospel. And without it, even an inconceivable legal win will do very little all on its own.
California shows what a minimum wage hike can do to the poorest
Governments across the Western world have implemented laws requiring a certain minimum hourly wage that employers must pay. The notion behind these laws is to prevent business owners from exploiting their workers. But what these laws presume is that the government knows what's best for everyone. What this video shows is, when the government pretends to know far more than they ever could, they cause all sorts of harms. And it just doesn't matter if that's not at all what they intended.
