A great philosophical conflict has raged for thousands of years. It poses an ultimate question: were humans and the world we inhabit created by God, or did it all arise by accidents of nature? Atheists seek to convince the public that the conflict is over. Science, they say, can no longer be considered compatible with faith. Yet a recent debate between Stephen Meyer and Phil Halper demonstrates the opposite. Read More ›

America's homelessness crisis is routinely framed as a housing crisis. It is not. It is a crisis born from the collapse of accountability at every level of the system. Nowhere are the consequences of that collapse more visible than in California — and especially in its capital city, Sacramento. Read More ›

Do We Have the Will (or Desire) to Prevent Biotechnological Anarchy?

AI gets most of the attention, but biotechnology may be even more impactful on the human future. Indeed, I think it is the most powerful technology since the splitting of the atom — perhaps even in history, as it has the potential to literally alter the human race or any cell/organism — which could cure diseases or unleash an unstoppable pandemic. Attention must be paid. Read More ›

AI can simulate intelligence, consciousness, romance, concern, interest, curiosity, or anything else that typifies human existence. But simulations, while powerful, are still only simulations. If Mr. Dawkins can get lulled into entertaining notions of AI consciousness, all of us can. It's crucial that we get in the driver's seat with AI now so we don't get taken for a ride later.

Memorial Day and the Meaning of American Reconciliation

If the last few generations of Americans understood the origin and meaning of Memorial Day, we might have avoided the trauma of division and corruption that saps Americans from living in peace, trust, and joy. Memorial Day was founded on the biblical ideals of forgiveness and reconciliation shortly after America’s most divisive and bloody conflict, the Civil War, which extended from 1861 to 1865.

My wife and I returned to Seattle in early 1993 after nearly 23 years on the East Coast. We were delighted to come home. Our fair city was booming, with the qualities we always loved about Seattle still intact. Over the past three decades, however, we have witnessed a steady erosion in the livability of both our city and our state. Today, Seattle bears little resemblance to its former self, and Washington is becoming a less attractive place to live or work. Read More ›

“A fine book to carry to the barricades.” That’s how Kirkus Reviews praised Bummerland: Ruin and Restoration in Trump’s New America by American Studies Professor Randolph Lewis (U. of Nebraska Press, 2026). But is this what we’ve come to in America: Teaching students and readers that the whole country is “a woodchipper for the soul”? Lewis plies his trade at The University Read More ›
