If you have never seen the 1965 movie “The Flight of the Phoenix”, you are missing one of the best, most enduring movies from when Hollywood still produced good movies. (Skip the remake from 2004 and watch the much-better original version with an all-star cast.) Why is this movie so…

For me this video is the pinnacle of human engineering, using tiny gears with a mainspring and escapement to control accuracy, with jewels to minimize friction – all to measure the mystery of time with the astounding accuracy of approx 0.005%. This is unquestionably part of what it means that…

R. Lucas Stamps has a timely warning here on AI (artificial intelligence) and how it will potentially “stamp” out our humanity. He cautions that “If we allow AI to organize and develop our ideas, we’ll lose the ability to be thinking human beings.” Stamos warns of an emerging, real problem…

C. S. Lewis, in The Weight Of Glory, was reflecting on the imago dei (image of God) and wrote, “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.…
