<\/a> On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources about broad cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. Be sure to see the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom. I wel\u00adcome your sug\u00adges\u00adtions. If you read some\u00adthing fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading please pass it my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 303rd edi\u00adtion, which is fun because 303 is a lucky num\u00adber<\/a>, a cat\u00ade\u00adgo\u00adry of num\u00adbers that gives us insight into prime num\u00adbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Dr. Fran\u00adcis Collins Dis\u00adcuss\u00ades The Com\u00adplex\u00adi\u00adties Of Herd Immu\u00adni\u00adty<\/a> (Col\u00adbert Report, YouTube): sev\u00aden min\u00adutes. Dr. Collins is a fel\u00adlow believ\u00ader and emi\u00adnent sci\u00aden\u00adtist. He flat-out shares his tes\u00adti\u00admo\u00adny! Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded by an alum\u00adnus.<\/li>
  2. Why I Did\u00adn\u2019t \u201cJust Bake the Cake\u201d<\/a> (Jack Phillips, First Things): \u201cMy com\u00admit\u00adment to God and to the truth of a book I believe to be his holy Word is the defin\u00ading premise of my life, the focus of my faith, and the guid\u00ading direc\u00adtive for my actions. If you ask me to sep\u00ada\u00adrate all of that from my work, from my deci\u00adsions, from my art \u2026 I sim\u00adply can\u2019t do that. Not just won\u2019t\u2014can\u2019t. It\u2019s like ask\u00ading a con\u00adtrac\u00adtor to build a great build\u00ading, but first remove the foun\u00adda\u00adtion.\u201d<\/li>
  3. It\u2019s Time to Devel\u00adop a Bib\u00adli\u00adcal Ufol\u00ado\u00adgy<\/a> (Kyle Beshears, The\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy in the Mid\u00addle): \u201cWhat is the rela\u00adtion\u00adship, if any, between UAP phe\u00adnom\u00ade\u00adna and Chris\u00adt\u00adian angelolo\u00adgies and demonolo\u00adgies? How does the doc\u00adtrine of the ima\u00adgo Dei fit in? Can our the\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy of the fall address extrater\u00adres\u00adtri\u00adals? What if they arrive deny\u00ading the lord\u00adship of Christ (Gal 1:8; 1 John 2:22)? What if they arrive pro\u00adclaim\u00ading the lord\u00adship of Christ (Rom 10:9)?\u201d<\/li>
  4. The Myth of the Val\u00adue-Neu\u00adtral Mar\u00adket<\/a> (Mark Movs\u00adesyian, First Things): \u201cThe neu\u00adtral mar\u00adket does not cre\u00adate tol\u00ader\u00adance for diverse views; rather, it\u2019s the oth\u00ader way around. Tol\u00ader\u00adance for diverse views cre\u00adates the neu\u00adtral mar\u00adket; when tol\u00ader\u00adance dis\u00adap\u00adpears, the mar\u00adket becomes as polar\u00adized as every\u00adthing else.\u201d<\/li>
  5. The future of war is bizarre and ter\u00adri\u00adfy\u00ading<\/a> (Noah Smith, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cThe world may yet explode into anoth\u00ader WW2-style con\u00adfla\u00adgra\u00adtion, or the kind of nuclear holo\u00adcaust we feared dur\u00ading the Cold War. If so, then my bet is that drones will dom\u00adi\u00adnate that bat\u00adtle\u00adfield. But most of the mod\u00adern mil\u00adi\u00adtary tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies led them\u00adselves to a very dif\u00adfer\u00adent kind of great-pow\u00ader war \u2014 a war of con\u00adstant snip\u00ading and harass\u00adment. Assas\u00adsin drones, cyber\u00adat\u00adtacks, info ops, and bioweapons raise the pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty of nev\u00ader-end\u00ading low-grade attacks that are below the thresh\u00adold of mas\u00adsive retal\u00adi\u00ada\u00adtion.\u201d<\/li>
  6. For Cos\u00admopoli\u00adtan Chris\u00adtians, Sec\u00adu\u00adlar Approval Is a Com\u00admon Temp\u00adta\u00adtion<\/a> (Justin E. Giboney, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cWe need Chris\u00adtians who aren\u2019t smit\u00adten with the cul\u00adture or mere\u00adly pro\u00adfi\u00adcient at regur\u00adgi\u00adtat\u00ading its litur\u00adgy. We need believ\u00aders who can wres\u00adtle with sec\u00adu\u00adlar thought, affirm\u00ading the mer\u00adits and oppos\u00ading the lies. Chris\u00adtians must be con\u00adfi\u00addent and dis\u00adtinct\u00adly Chris\u00adt\u00adian in our fields\u2014boldly speak\u00ading up when the emper\u00ador is strid\u00ading around with no clothes. When change is nec\u00ades\u00adsary, we must cor\u00adrect the mis\u00adtakes of our elders by mov\u00ading clos\u00ader to the Bible, not fur\u00adther from it.\u201d<\/li>
  7. Some thoughts about Wuhan:
