    Ben Shapiro
    “When someone calls you a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe because you happen to disagree with them about tax policy or same-sex marriage or abortion, that’s bullying. When someone slanders you because you happen to disagree with them about global warming or the government shutdown, that’s bullying. When someone labels you a bad human being because they disagree with you, they are bullying you. They are attacking your character without justification. That’s nasty. In fact, it makes them nasty.”

    Ravi Zacharias
    “In the 1950s kids lost their innocence.
    They were liberated from their parents by well-paying jobs, cars, and lyrics in music that gave rise to a new term ---the generation gap.

    In the 1960s, kids lost their authority.
    It was a decade of protest---church, state, and parents were all called into question and found wanting. Their authority was rejected, yet nothing ever replaced it.

    In the 1970s, kids lost their love. It was the decade of me-ism dominated by hyphenated words beginning with self.
    Self-image, Self-esteem, Self-assertion....It made for a lonely world. Kids learned everything there was to know about sex and forgot everything there was to know about love, and no one had the nerve to tell them there was a difference.

    In the 1980s, kids lost their hope.
    Stripped of innocence, authority and love and plagued by the horror of a nuclear nightmare, large and growing numbers of this generation stopped believing in the future.

    In the 1990s kids lost their power to reason. Less and less were they taught the very basics of language, truth, and logic and they grew up with the irrationality of a postmodern world.

    In the new millennium, kids woke up and found out that somewhere in the midst of all this change, they had lost their imagination. Violence and perversion entertained them till none could talk of killing innocents since none was innocent anymore.”
    Ravi Zacharias, Recapture the Wonder

  • #9
    Ravi Zacharias
    “I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.”
    Ravi Zacharias, Has Christianity Failed You?

  • #10
    Ravi Zacharias
    “There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny.”
    Ravi Zacharias

  • #11
    Ravi Zacharias
    “To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge”
    Ravi Zacharias

    Ravi Zacharias
    “Unless I understand the Cross, I cannot understand why my commitment to what is right must be precedence over what I prefer.”
    Ravi Zacharias, I, Isaac, Take Thee, Rebekah

  • #13
    Ravi Zacharias
    “I remember the time an older man asked me when I was young, "Do you know what you are doing now?" I thought it was some kind of trick question.
    Tell me," I said.
    You are building your memories," he replied, "so make them good ones.”
    Ravi Zacharias

    “Truth by definition excludes.”
    Ravi Zacharias, Jesus Among Other Gods: The Absolute Claims of the Christian Message

  • #16
    Ravi Zacharias
    “Faith in the biblical sense is substantive, based on the knowledge that the One in whom that faith is placed has proven that He is worthy of that trust. In its essence, faith is a confidence in the person of Jesus Christ and in His power, so that even when His power does not serve my end, my confidence in Him remains because of who He is.”
    Ravi Zacharias, Jesus Among Other Gods: The Absolute Claims of the Christian Message

    “The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.”

    “This is an important list at the heart of phonics instruction. It alphabetically lists 99 single phonemes (speech sounds) and consonant blends (usually two phonemes), and it gives example words for each of these; often for their use in the beginning, middle, and end of words. These example words are also common English words, many taken from the list of Instant Words. This list solves the problem of coming up with a good common word to illustrate a phonics principle for lessons and worksheets.”
    Edward B. Fry, The Reading Teacher's Book Of Lists

    Heather Mac Donald
    “The academic obsession with identity is ironic, since its roots lie in a philosophy that denied the very existence of the self. In the 1970s, the literary theory of deconstruction took over humanities departments with a curious set of propositions about language. Because linguistic signs were arbitrary, successful communication was said to be impossible. Most surprisingly, the human subject was declared to be a fiction, a mere play of rhetorical tropes. In the 1980s, however, the self came roaring back with a vengeance as feminists and race theorists took the mannered jargon of deconstruction and turned it into a political weapon. The key deconstructive concept of linguistic “différance” became identity difference between the oppressed and their oppressors; the prime object of study became one’s own self and its victimization”

    Nabeel Qureshi
    “believe ideas can be dangerous, even popular ideas held by millions, and I furthermore believe we ought to be able to discuss such ideas freely. Unfortunately, there is a growing mob mentality even in the United States that allows unpopular ideas to be shouted down and the people voicing them to be accused of closed-mindedness and bigotry.”
    Nabeel Qureshi, Answering Jihad: A Better Way Forward

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “Living by faith includes the call to something greater than cowardly self-preservation.”

    J.B.S. Haldane
    “The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.”
    J.B.S. Haldane, Possible Worlds

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

    Michael J. Behe
    “In the abstract, it might be tempting to imagine that irreducible complexity simply requires multiple simultaneous mutations - that evolution might be far chancier than we thought, but still possible. Such an appeal to brute luck can never be refuted... Luck is metaphysical speculation; scientific explanations invoke causes.”
    Michael J. Behe, Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution

  • #29
    Michael J. Behe
    “The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself—not from sacred books or sectarian beliefs. Inferring that biochemical systems were designed by an intelligent agent is a humdrum process that requires no new principles of logic or science. It comes simply from the hard work that biochemistry has done over the past forty years, combined with consideration of the way in which we reach conclusions of design every day.”
    Michael J. Behe, Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution

    Michael J. Behe
    “Random mutations much more easily debilitate genes than improve them, and that this is true even of the helpful mutations. Let me emphasize, our experience with malaria’s effects on humans (arguably our most highly studied genetic system) shows that most helpful mutations degrade genes. What’s more, as a group the mutations are incoherent, meaning that they are not adding up to some new system. They are just small changes - mostly degradative - in pre-existing, unrelated genes. The take-home lesson is that this is certainly not the kind of process we would expect to build the astonishingly elegant machinery of the cell. If random mutation plus selective pressure substantially trashes the human genome, why should we think that it would be a constructive force in the long term? There is no reason to think so.”
    Michael J. Behe
