G.K Chesterton

I read a great article on G.K Chesterton, on his writing and some of his retorts to evolutionists.

It's said he was always writing—wherever he found
himself, and with whatever he could find to write on.
So in the tearoom he scribbled on napkins. On the
train, in front of a bank teller, or in the middle of
a lecture he was known to jot hurriedly in a notebook,
even on the cuff of his sleeve.

He was apparently quite a character walking the streets of London with a black cape and top hat and a swordstick.

Here's some quotes I found interesting that you may
enjoy.

"There are those who hate Christianity and call their
hatred an all-embracing love for all religions." To
the convicted agnostic he said, "We don't know enough
about the unknown to know that it is unknowable." To
the social Darwinist he said, "It is absurd for the
Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an
admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of
nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable
that nothing should turn itself into everything."

Interesting quote.

This life's dim windows of the soul distorts the heavens from pole to pole and goads you to believe a lie when you see with and not through the eye.

-William Blake, poet

U2 and the Spiritual Revolution.



If any of you have not checked out MacLaurin Institute audio archives yet, run over there and check them out.

The most recent I listened to was so keenly insightful about the direction our culture is going I am tempted to make hard copies for our web uninitiated friends.

The speaker is Andrew Fellows from the L'Abri Fellowship.

I believe this gentleman is describing something of farther reaching implications than we might presently be able to see on the surface.

Do not be fooled by the ambiguous title referencing U2. This is not a mere music critique. Its better described as an evaluation of the tides of culture as manifested by their expression in the cultural art forms.

For those of you with the freedom to peruse online, go look this one up! I highly recommend a listen.
