I recently listened intently to Crisis Magazine’s podcast debate titled “Theistic Evolution vs. Creationism: A Catholic Debate,” between molecular biologist Douglas Darnowski, who defended “evolution,” and dentist Kevin Mark (who represents the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation), defending Young Earth Creationism, to determine which position aligns better with Catholic teaching. I’ll make some brief remarks about the debate, and then I’ll proceed to discuss an argument that would unify both debaters, in spite of their differences.

There is an ever-growing obsession with gender ideology throughout the West, as is the case in Canada. Ever since the fall of 2016, when famed psychologist Jordan Peterson made a series of YouTube videos that were critical of Bill C-16, a bill that has since been passed into law and amended the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code to include gender identity and expression as prohibited grounds for discrimination, the march toward usurping every institution has taken place at a dramatic rate.

In the presentation, he indicates that there will be different regulations for fully vaccinated staff and students when classes resume this fall. Earlier this month, Premier Doug Ford promised Ontarians that he would not make vaccinations mandatory. Although the Government of Ontario’s goal is to have the highest possible immunization rates, it will not create vaccine passports as proof of vaccination for businesses and other organizations.

On April 13, Forbes magazine published a piece titled, “What Do Countries With The Best Coronavirus Responses Have In Common? Women Leaders” which was written by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox.
