Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest scientific minds of our time, was recently interviewed about his latest book “The Grand Design”: According to Hawking, something can indeed be created from nothing. He believes our universe was created from nothing. [...] Hawking, arguably the greatest scientific mind of our time, said he believes the laws of [...]
I could sit and listen to Fr. Barron and Dr. Hahn talk about anything all day long. Such wisdom and perspective. Anyway, here they speak a few minutes on the “New Atheism” fad. I particularly liked their comments about how our own weak or strong presentation of our faith gives rise to a weaker or [...]
“The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man.” – G.K. Chesterton What I Saw [...]
“As an explanation of the world, materialism has a sort of insane simplicity. It has the quality of the madman’s argument: we have at once the sense of if covering everything and the sense of it leaving everything out.” – G. K. Chesterton What a mysterious world we live in.

This is one of those logical conclusions that atheists (and their close cousins, moral relativists) don’t like to make. “If there is no God, everything is permissible.” – Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
Here’s a cool video (below) from Fr. Barron I wanted to share. He’s a really neat priest and is very good at articulating some really important aspects of life and our Faith. You can check out his website here.
In case you haven’t heard, Atheists are out sharing their “Winter Solstice” joy with everyone again this year. And now the Governor of Washington is letting them do so by allowing an anti-religion sign (celebrating the winter solstice) to be displayed next to the Nativity scene this Christmas season. What does the celebration of the [...]
