God vs. Science, part 2
[The following essay came across my e-mail yesterday. You know the type, it’s been forwarded around the world. I don’t know who wrote it, so I apologize to the unknown author for not giving him or her proper attribution. It is a wonderful discussion of God vs. science.] *** God vs. Science “Let me explain…

Read MoreQuiner’s Diner interviewed today on My World, My People
By Tom Quiner I had the pleasure of being interviewed today by John Hernandez, host of the podcast TV show called My World, My People.

By Tom Quiner “I speak for many sports fans who find it a great shame that our national unity over football could become yet another day where we are divided over politics and the culture wars.” I have paraphrased ABC’s news anchor Dan Harris in his criticism of Focus on the Family’s Tim Tebow Super…

What would ABC have to say if the government wouldn’t allow them to broadcast their show across state lines, just as they don’t allow health insurance companies to market their services across state lines?
