Scientist Proposes Growing GMO Plants Worldwide to Soak Up Emissions and Stop Global Warming
On the heels of Greta Van Thunberg’s “speech heard ’round the world” at the 2019 Climate Action Summit in New York, climate change has been a hot topic. While the world wrestles with how to tackle this and other grave environmental problems (and even debates whether action is needed, in the case of President Donald Trump), others are proposing solutions that range from the holistic and natural (regenerative organic farming) to curbing man-made emissions in a mandatory way (carbon taxes).

On the Theistic Projects of the Atheists
Modern atheism is a project for manufacturing new earthly religions and gods. Every atheistic movement in the last 250 years has tried to found its own earthly religion and develop its own gods. The French Revolutionaries, once they gained power, first established an atheistic religion called the *Cult of Reason*, and then its rival religion called the *Cult of the Supreme Being*. Auguste Comte established a positivist religion of humanity in which he was revered as a godlike figure. In the former Soviet Union, the atheistic communists indulged in an orgy of self-deification—they dei... more »
