THE WORD "eugenics" conjures dark images of the Nazi quest to create a Master Race. But eugenics didn't go away when Germany surrendered in 1945. Eugenics is alive and well; it's just been rebranded. Robert Blaise is the producer of a new documentary, 'Human Weeds,' that explores eugenics and why it's a key element of what is considered cutting-edge science.

GOD CREATED humanity with free will, the ability to choose whether to love Him and love one another, or not. Rather than cherish this precious gift, most of us spend most of our time blaming our circumstances on everything except our choices.

A POLITICAL whirlwind tore through D.C. this past week.

WHAT DID Jesus do that wasn't recorded in the Bible? The gap in the scriptures between the ages of 12 and 30 have led to a number of theories about his "lost years" and true identity. Was Jesus pantheistic mystic, a Universalist philosopher and teacher? Did he travel to India to study at the feet of Hindu Holy men? Or perhaps he went to Tibet to study Buddhism. Was Jesus married and did he sire a...
