Yesterday, in an already much remarked upon column, David Brooks reviewed the state of the kulturkampf between “assertive atheists” and “defenders of faith” by way of a discussion of developments in neurobiology. Brooks’ central insight is that the “cognitive revolution is not going to end up undermining faith in God, it’s going to end up [...]

Mississippi delivers first fruits and they are not sweet for the GOP. November is increasingly looking like a political tsunami. Will the GOP even survive? Or go the way of the Whigs?

Here’s an interesting story from Beaver Falls, the home of the RPCNA’s Geneva College.
