Bush Vindicated: Marines Find Weapons of Mass Reduction AND Grass Destruction in Iraq!
Details about these amazing finds are now available as a Cracked Planet News Release. Though not technically "weapons of mass destruction," Donald Rumsfeld explained that weapons of mass reduction - including thousands of brutal "StairMaster" and "Nordic Track" torture devices - are close enough. And now any doubts about the justification behind the war should be removed thanks to the related discovery of chemical weapons of grass destruction - including an entire factory for making the infamous biotoxin, "Agent Roundup," that was intended to be used against the vital grasslands, lawns, and golf courses of the United States. Rumsfeld wiped a tear away as he asked, "If we had not invaded, who knows who many Americans would have suffered if these weapons had made it to our shores?"

Science and Religion (Creation, Evolution, Skepticism)

Reasons to Believe
Information about Hugh Ross's excellent work on science and religion. There are sound reasons to believe.
Affiliation of Christian Geologists
Their page provides useful links to topics of science and creation. One article I like, for example, is an article on the (old) age of the earth by C. Gordon Winder.
Creation Research Society
Interesting information - BUT BE CAREFUL! Some creation scientists aren't exactly careful in their use of evidence and "facts." Small particles of high-purity pulverized halite may be needed.
Talk-Origins
A great resource from the talk.origins USENET group. Covers issues relating to evolution - mostly from the mainstream scientific view ("pro-evolution"). I believe God is the Creator - but open-minded Christians should have nothing to fear from genuine science.
Jury-rigged design in nature?
Intended to dispel the notion that everything in nature has been designed. Shows interesting examples of "flaws" in the design of various species which are construed to argue against design. I disagree, however: see my comments on design flaws.

LDS Links ("Mormon")

Items relevant to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.See my more complete list of LDS Resources if you're interested in this sort of thing.

My pages:

Jeff's LDS Intro Page
Introduction to the Book of Mormon
Evidences for the Book of Mormon
One of my most important works, regularly updated and filled with heavy information (IMHO). A most amazing book - and an authentic ancient document that testifies of Christ.
Mormon Answers: LDS FAQ
Fairly extensive, with links to many "Mormon Answers (LDS FAQ)" pages. These pages give answers to frequently asked questions about Latter-day Saint beliefs. This is based on my e-mail correspondence with numerous inquirers (and critics). My own views - so beware! One of newest offerings there is 2 Nephi 12 and the Septuagint: Evidence for Fraud or Authenticity in the Book of Mormon?, which may be the first place where the issue of "paired tricola" in the Book of Mormon has been addressed.
Faith, Grace, and Works - my (LDS) perspective
The text of a rather heavy theological discourse I gave to a congregation in Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1995. Includes a link to a separate page listing key scriptures for study on this topic.
Does DNA Evidence Refute the Book of Mormon?
A lengthy and heavily documented article (260 kB of text, about 80 pages or so) in my LDSFAQ area dealing with the bogus claim that DNA testing of Native Americans proves that the migrations described in the Book of Mormon did not occur. A PDF version of this article has been posted at the Church's LDS.org Website at http://www.lds.org/newsroom/files/jeff_lindsay_dna.pdf. My article and four others are available, along with a brief statement, on a "DNA and the Book of Mormon."
Ancient Records Offer New Support for the Book of Abraham
Surveys some of the vast body of ancient documents that confirm numerous details in the Book of Abraham that are not found in the Bible, and could not have been known to Joseph Smith. This is actually Part 3 of three pages dealing with common questions and objections to the Book of Abraham. Part 1 deals primarily with questions about the source of the Book of Abraham, including a discussion of the original scrolls and the existing papyrus fragments, as well as the Egyptian papers. Part 2 deals with the content of the book and Joseph Smith's comments on three Egyptian drawings that have been attached to the published Book of Abraham.
The Mormon Temple and Free Masonry: Is the LDS Temple Derived from the Masons?
An essay exploring the ancient nature of the restored and revealed modern LDS (Mormon) Temple concept.
The Gift of Guilt
One of my essays in my "Snippets" section.
LDS Articles of Faith
My Home Page

External links:

The FARMS Homepage
FARMS is the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies - an excellent scholarly group that publishes and promotes serious studies related to the Book of Mormon, ancient Christianity, and ancient religion in general, with relevance to LDS issues. I am simply thrilled with the quality and scholarship of most FARMS materials, especially the works of Hugh Nibley, John Welch, and John Sorensen. FARMS can be reached at P.O. Box 7113, University Station, Provo, Utah 84602 (phone: 1-800-327-6715).
The Prophet Joseph Smith's Testimony
His own words.
The New Jerusalem
One of the best sites around! It offers information on the Book of Mormon and other religious issues. This site is large and well worth the visit. It includes the famous "Book of Mormon Answer Man" service used by thousands of people, providing many good answers about Gospel questions.
Condemnation of The God Makers
By Christian and Jewish leaders.
Dead Sea Scrolls -- Intro
(This is not an LDS page, but the Dead Sea Scrolls in general are of tremendous interest to students of the Book of Mormon, for they cast new light on some of the attitudes, practices and beliefs presented in the Book of Mormon for a Semitic people prior to the coming of Christ.) You may also wish to visit an Israeli site, the Orion Center for the Study of the Dead Sea Scrolls at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Other Christian Sources

One of several helpful resources at SearchGodsWord.org.

One of the best ways to read the works of early Christians.

Politics

SNIPPETS
Short essays (some serious) by Jeff Lindsay, featuring politics and satire, social issues, and whatever else is on my mind. Now completely tax free (outside of Massachusetts). WARNING: Do not read, discuss, or distribute these essays within 60 days of an election, or you may be in violation of Senator Feingold's campaing reform law. But losing freedom of speech is a small price to pay for urgently needed campaign reforms.
Right Talk - Conservative Talk Radio
Smaller, more content-focused programming. Keep up on the steady loss of sovereignty and erosion of American values - often from both parties!.
Vote Smart
Info on Congressional voting records, grouped by state. Find out how different groups rate your Senator or Representative. Are they upholding the Constitution?
World Net Daily
Independent news stories that the liberal media often ignore. An excellent source of news!
FrontPageMag.com
Another great source of news that the media tends to ignore.

Human Events Online
A conservative source of information about events in our day.
U.S. House of Representatives - Home Page
Well, maybe these guys are the inventors of hate, greed, and pollution. We can't trust them to run a bank or a post office, so are we safe with them running the country?
The Mike Reagan Talk Show
Less fluff, more research. Mike Reagan is worth listening to!
No Place to Hide - The Strategy and Tactics of Terrorism
Script of a video by the John Birch Society about the reality of terrorist tactics - from 1983, but still current.
The New American Magazine
The Heritage Foundation - a conservative think tank (but perhaps too aligned with one party to be the independent voice I wish they were).
Atomic Bomb: Decision (Hiroshima-Nagasaki)
A fascinating journey into the decisions that lead to use of the bomb against Japan. (Yet I'm disappointed that this site presents only a small part of the solid historical evidence showing that the use of atomic force on civilian targets was unnecessary.)

Social Issues

The Eagle Forum
Phyllis Schafly's project. Pro-family materials, info on scandalous educational reforms. An excellent related site is the Texas Eagle. Related to the Eagle Forum, the Texas Eagle is loaded with good information for concerned Americans. (By the way, my suite of pages was honored by Texas Eagle as an outstanding site in June of 1997.)
Morality in Media
A great organization helping in the battle against obscenity. Did you know that enforcement of federal obscenity laws has plummeted under Clinton's rule? Porn pushers are making megabucks and the moral climate of America is rapidly decaying - but MIM shows what we can do to resist.
Is overpopulation really the problem? (My page.)
ProLife.org
A.k.a. LifeNews.com. An excellent resource for pro-life people. Among other items of interest, one can find data on the relationship between breast cancer and abortion. Decent pro-lifers work to protect the most vulnerable humans in our midst. Abortion stops a beating heart and cancels active brainwaves, or, in other words:
"An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun. It is dangerous to your life and health."
--Planned Parenthood 'Plan Your Children' pamphlet, 1963
The Link Between Abortion and Cancer
By Dr. Joel Brind.
AbortionFacts.com: Information on Breast Cancer
The lucrative abortion industry is working hard to hide the dangerous side effects of abortion from its customers. Read the extensive documention about these side effects.
AbortionBreastCancer.com
Did yo know that 16 of 17 statistically significant studies report increased risk of breast cancer among women choosing an abortion? 7 studies report a more than 200% increased risk.
Planned Parenthood: A Vile Organization
One of my "Snippets."
Dr. Frank Joseph on Abortion
The link between abortion and breast cancer, and more.
Homosexuality: Fact and Fiction
An excellent discussion of "homophobia," the 10% myth from the fraudulent Kinsey study, the health aspects of homosexuality, and the Christian perspective. Yes, change is possible!
Family Research Council
A valuable non-profit organization with abundant research on vital social issues. See, for example, their article on the benefits of marriage.
Family Research Institute
Another group providing valuable information to defend the family.
The Textbook League
An excellent site by a good organization that reviews textbooks. They expose the bad science, bad history, new age falsehoods, and general silliness that contributes to the dumbing down of American schools.

It's after 10:00 p.m. Do you know where your Congressman is?

The Oneida Indian Nation
My page on the Oneida Nation, which has a reservation near my town of Appleton, Wisconsin.
The CIA World Factbook
This has excellent information on just about every country worth invading. Seriously, it's a valuable resource - especially for students. For some types of information, it beats any encyclopedia. For one thing, you can see for yourself if there is a relationship between population density and human well-being (life expectancy, income, etc.). (See my overpopulation page for sample data.)
Family Records in the UK
This British site, provided by the FamilyRecords.gov, aims to give you easy access to information and links to the main UK family history sites on the web.

Neat places in the U.S.

Digital City Chicago
Polynesian Cultural Center
A major cultural attraction in Hawaii (tied to Brigham Young University-Hawaii). Drop by on your next vacation.
Tuacahn
"Broadway in the desert!" Set against stunning red bluffs of Navajo sandstone near Ivins, Utah (not far from St. George in the southwest corner of the state), the Tuacahn Center for the Arts offers one of the most spectacular outdoor settings for art and theatre that I have ever seen. Several years ago I saw their musical production "Utah!" and was very impressed (the special effects alone were worth seeing -- a flash flood was actually produced before our eyes on the outdoor stage).
