Even a 3-yo knows the difference between Kanga & Felix.
Will the stasis of Essential Types of Life, as in Plato & Aristotle, be a banned view soon? Will cancel-culture win?
How old is your favorite planet (you too Perseverance)?
The late philosopher Mortimer Adler (d. 2001), who wrote the popular How to Read a Book, was the chairman of the board of editors of the Encyclopedia Britannica and was the man behind the Great Books series that came out in the early 1950's. He penned Truth in Religion: The Plurality of Religions and the Unity of Truth in 1990: https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Religion-Plurality-Religions-Unity/dp/0020641400

>> Awakeness and the Noachian Revolution <<
Lady Justice is usually blindfolded and holds a balanced scale. Scripture places the criterion for virtue on the inner man:
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 Sam. 16:7
We are all Noachians now. We descend from Noah and ultimately our family tree goes back to Adam:
And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. …
Acts 17:26,27
In The Descent of Man (1871), Darwin taught that some people groups were less evolved than others. So, why hasn’t his statue been torn down (UK)?
Omniculturalism looks for the good, the true and the beautiful from all cultures in all times. We all can appreciate the gift of human creativity from those born on the opposite side of the planet.

According to a paper on "Uncertainties in Age Dating" (Science):
The radiogenic argon and helium contents of three basalts erupted into the deep ocean from an active volcano (Kilauea) have been measured. Ages calculated from these measurements increase with sample depth up to 22 million years for lavas deduced to be recent. [<200 yrs.]
So radiometric dating can't give us the correct answer for rocks of known age. Way back in the 1970's, the New York Times was not afraid to report that,
A fundamental assumption of nuclear physics - the predictable decay rates of radioactive materials - has been opened to question on the basis of research reported here today at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Think about this manifesto from the founder of the modern series of Scientific American, Gerard Piel (d. 2004):
A scientist has no system of absolutes to tell him whether he is right or wrong ... In biology, all of us are Darwinians; we perceive the unity of our species with all other living things and find a new reverence for life ...
The Welfare State has destroyed the Urban family and inner cities. Free markets and entrepreneurship lead to prosperity. Hard work pays off:
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
2 Thes. 3:10
Lady Justice is usually blindfolded and holds a balanced scale. Her scales represent the weighing of evidence. Scripture places the criterion for virtue on the inner man:
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

In The Descent of Man (1871), Darwin taught that some people groups were less evolved than others. So, why hasn’t the statue (above) in Shrewsbury, UK, been torn down. Why hasn’t the ultra-radical mob destroyed and burned Down House, Darwin’s old abode.
Omniculturalism looks for the good, the true and the beautiful from all cultures in all times. We all can appreciate the gift of human creativity from those born on the opposite side of the planet. Consider, for example, the wonder of Mayan mathematics. The Mayans were superb astronomers.
The Bible clearly preaches against the oppression of the weak by the rich and powerful:
Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
James 5:4-6
Here is an excellent analysis on the Extreme Justice trend in today’s culture. Check out what happens when a philosophy prof takes today’s identity confusion to its logical conclusion. Evergreen College melted down in 2017 due to this movement and led to numerous faculty resignations, a humongous collapse in enrollments, layoffs and budget cuts. >>>
Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.
So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
Hab. 1:3,4
What if we could hop on the TARDIS and see what’s going to happen in the next hundred, thousand or millions years? Unfortunately, Matt Smith does not return my phone calls (☺).
However, there’s no need to worry, Charles Galton Darwin (d. 1962), Charles Darwin’s grandson, wrote *The Next Million Years* and said some pretty scary things:
… world conquest will be easier both for military reasons and because the more uniform culture should make the world government more acceptable. … If then there is ever to be a world government, it will have to function as government do now, in the sense that it will have to coerce a minority – and indeed it may often be a majority – into doing things they do not want to do. … there will be severe pressure from excess populations, and there will be periodic famines. There will be a consequent callousness about the value of the individual’s life, and often there will be cruelty to a degree of which we do not willingly think. https://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=next+million+years+charles+darwin&d=4687355616892248&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=ClgEDCjsx2hTkFIiuf4fdy-z6cRWv1n0
Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both calamities and good things come?
Why should the living complain
when punished for their sins?
-- Lam. 3:37-39
Can you defend FREEDOM, Free Speech and Western Values, when the nations state is controlled by an outside race that hates the ethnic native population
