Instead of fostering hope and optimism, this framework is mired in grievances that suggest a cultural regression of a century ago. Read More ›

AH (Artificial Horses) Made Farmers 62.5 Times More Productive

In 1800, the U.S. Census Bureau recorded a population of 5.3 million. Roughly half — about 2.65 million — were farmers.

Easter bunnies and eggs (if you can afford the latter) mask the debate, but Gary Habermas jumps into it in On the Resurrection: Refutations (B&H Academic, 2024).

Warm-Hearted, Tough-Minded Compassion: An Interview with Bob Coté
