I am certain that Vladimir Putin is an evil tyrant. However, it is incorrect to refer to Ukraine as a democracy - at least of the type that we used to consider a democracy in the West. That does not excuse invasion, but on the other hand I am not going to display a Ukrainian flag on my social media accounts. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has all the hallmarks of a tragic false flag, designed to take the pressure off the disgraceful removal of civil liberties in Canada - which WAS once considered a Western-style democracy - and to take the attention away from Covid, so that countries can quietly appear to give you your "freedoms" back, while holding on to the mechanisms that they will re-impose whenever it suits them to do so.
At last I have got my act together and got podcasting going again.
The Paul Taylor Show is a podcast with a biblical starting point. I discuss issues of politics, culture, apologetics, creation, and theology - together with general rants about this or that!

The evolutionary narrative has moved on rapidly. It is not only the timescale of dinosaurs, on which creationists and evolutionists differ - it is also their appearance. Creationists are stuck using illustrations based on evolutionary models from the 1970s. We must also recognize anomalies such as the fact that most fossil specimens are very incomplete. In short, I think it is time that creationists recognize that the beasts under discussion bear no relation to the evolutionary view of dinosaurs. Isn't it time we started saying that dinosaurs, as described by contemporary evolutionists, did not exist. We should stop calling them dinosaurs, and return to the pre-Owen scientific terminology; let's return to calling them dragons.
I woke up pretty early this morning- about 6 - but I sat and read until 9. Then my plan was to go get a coffee from my favorite coffee shed and take it down to the City Beach and have a stroll. But I remembered I was part way through a difficult portion of designing my new website. So I got on with that. I had a brief stop for breakfast at 2pm, then got back to work. I had to redo a huge amount when I discovered that the WordPress theme I was using didn't do what I wanted it to.
So I got to the coffee shed at 5:50pm*. The little barista girl was clearing up for a 6pm close. But she sweetly served me anyway, and chatted away in a bubbly manner about all sorts of stuff mysterious to this 62-year-old. I gave her a good tip, as much for her pleasantness as for the coffee. Then I made my way for my morning stroll - which was now an evening stroll - by the Pend D'Oreille Lake.
God is good. The scenery around this little town where I live is stunning. Just, please God, let my website attract the ...
