  • Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  John 1:3 George Rebane ‘Tis the season to talk of God.  The debate about the existence of God or Intelligent Designer or Universal Intelligence or … (henceforth ‘God’) continues to grow as we discover more about our universe, or as…

  • George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 30 August 2014.] It is now twelve years since WSJ Asia bureau chief Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by Muslim terrorists.  Since then countless thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims have been murdered by Muslims in the name of their ‘religion…
