December 15, 2017 by Randal

If you care to chime in, I’ve got the survey right here: Which ethical issue is more important? — Tentative Apologist (@RandalRauser) December 15, 2017 If we can discern the relative import of ethical issues by what […]

Good for him. But my lungs bore the brunt of it. Economists refer to that as an externality. An externality is any cost to […]

A Prolegomenon to reviewing Intelligent Design books

December 14, 2010 by Randal

Gradually, I am returning to some sense of normalcy. We are slowly unpacking boxes in our new house. My daughter only has four special events to attend this week. And the stack of unmarked papers on my desk is down to a manageable six inches high. All that means it is time to start blogging […]
