Spiritually Uncertain Things
Reading Time: 2 minutesSome things in the Bible are rather plainly stated, but not all things are. In fact, in Simon Peter’s second letter he even says, “There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures.” So we know that indeed, not everything in…

Sometimes Unnoticed Biblical Distinctions
Reading Time: 6 minutesMany of us (including your kind troll here) often miss nuance and depth in the Bible by boiling things down too much. For example, we boil down our Bibles to “Old Testament” and “New Testament,” even though technically the gospels pretty much occur during what would be regularly called “Old Covenant.” In doing this aggressive boiling, we miss a lot of richness offered in the word. Some aspects that are thus overlooked are below:

Review: 25 Miles Hiking the Six Lakes in the Gros Ventre So You Don’t Have To
Reading Time: 29 minutesI hiked the Six Lakes in Wyoming’s Gros Ventre Range. I don’t really have enemies, so I don’t have anyone to recommend it to.
Calvin the Moth as He Relates to Will Provine
Reading Time: 2 minutesYue Little grew a caterpillar into a pure, white moth, which she named Calvin. When I witness such things, imagining that somehow, through a blind process chock-full of errors, an organism arose which changes from a many-legged caterpillar into a two-winged creature of flight, is so preposterous as to be something out of a fairy tale.
Temporary Ads
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMy wife is pregnant and our income was recently slashed to the tune of around 150K/year, while our rent is now up to $30K/year. The price for hosting has also gone up on me by 30%. Until I find a new hosting provider or get a side job, I am going to run ads during the heavy-use season when people other than my family and friends are using bandwidth. It…

Gear Review: PERFECT Kühl Transcendr Pants
Reading Time: 7 minutesIntroduction Why did I get some Kühl Transcendr pants and bother to post a review of such length? If you’ve read my hiking reviews (a massive ask, to be fair, and potentially a violation of the Geneva Convention if prisoners of war were made to do it), you know that I’m very particular about my pants. I’ve long struggled to find a really, truly good pair of hiking pants. One…

Gear Review: The Joys of Being Soggy—Black Diamond Approach Down Vest
Reading Time: 6 minutesMy wife bought me a Black Diamond Approach Down Vest and I figured that I’d review it. I’ve been using the vest for about 7 months now; this season we skied many hundreds of miles. I’ve used the vest for both nordic and downhill skiing and have worn it regularly to work, so I think that I can now comment honestly on it.
Are You a Very Interesting Form of Nothing?
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe universe beginning to exist is a problem for atheism in that it indicates a creator. Multiple attempts to bypass this problem have been propounded, but my favorite is the argument that nothing exists right now. Does that sound crazy? Surely a professor at Oxford wouldn’t say that, right? I cut out this clip of the renowned chemist Dr. Peter Atkins saying just that. It’s quite the escape hatch to…
Soulless Eyes
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe’ve all heard of murderers who are described as having soulless eyes. It’s a creepy thing to imagine. In the worldview of atheism though, everyone has soulless eyes, because no one has a soul.

Review: 14 Miles Hiking Sweetwater Gap Lakes, Wind River Range
