the bible's been written for you, the culture is supporting you. so it is, appears to me that when the left is tired of identity politics, that's really strange to me because in the same breath it goes, this is a referendum by the white working class. get the contradiction? no identity politics, but you're celebrating the white working class. because the black working class ain't voted for trump, right? 54% of eligible white women did. 13% of black men did. so we have some really disaggregation of the data to do, and when i think about race -- not to overanswer it -- we in a tough position, and some of our allies have to be brought up to speed as to what it really means to be a person of color in america today. >> great answer. before we go, there's a person with a microphone, so if you have a question, raise your hand, and i want to mix this up. i don't want it to just be me talking to the professor here. but i want to talk about specifically about, specifically about the motivation for the book and sort of what was the process in arriving -- i kn

garden of eden he was trying to prove the literal truth of the story of the creation as told in the bible and he imagined that these remote pacific islands would turn out to be a center of creation but the species were preserved as god had created them. instead darwin discovered something even more miraculous this isolated world of plants and animals showed him that all life is constantly changing that all living things are continually evolving and adapting to their environment. darwin's theory of natural selection was published in eight hundred fifty nine in his book the origin of species it was to change radically and forever our whole understanding of humanity and its place in creation. the name galapagos comes from a spanish word for tourists in fact it was through his observations of the tortoises on the islands and these schoolies of forests that darwin arrived at his discoveries he saw here plants and animals which clearly originated far away to come here by chance but that adapted to their environment by developing into new forms of life found nowhere else on earth. because the pr

so i own a base is the right to take multiple wives on the bible. or that the bible says love thy neighbor and i take that very seriously i love all my wives that's christian and there. dayana sees himself as a kind of profit he says he got permission to be polygamous from god himself he assures us he hadn't intended to marry this many women he just struggles to say no . i'm all these women came to me and wanted to marry me and they proposed to me i couldn't reject them. what do the other villages say. sama glad that their villages achieved international fame thanks designer. but the local clergyman aren't happy about the polygamist cult. but then we're not so i mean you're wondering i grew up when i think this violates human rights particularly women's rights the government should forbid it. and indeed what zion are is doing isn't allowed in india but the authorities don't want to start a battle with the family they fear an uprising they've had enough of that in the northeast. not far away in miserrimus capital people are celebrating the biggest fe

the bible says that satan comes as an angel of light.oesn't say i'm the devil, follow me, or i'm a demon, follow me. so i think that joseph campbell is really troubling to me in any of the so-called new age writers, i don't think that they are properly wary of the dark side. on my radio program the eric metaxas show i often talk to itn expert on this topic there's a lot of people who write about the dark side of spirituality. i think when people, the reason i urge people to take the christian faith and the bible seriously if you need to understand you can't be neutral. if you think you are neutral you open yourself up to the dark side. that's really scary. i did me to go off on that some attractive but that something i take really, really seriously. that you have to really figure out what is true and what you believe. i write about that in my book miracles. the first part of the question had to do with comparing trump to hitler. i think that was the payola. i contact a lot. a lot of people of read my own of her book and said this is dona

why because it's in the bible and somehow feeling set up with god's glory, is the palm tree. he wants to see a palm tree. he also establishes a goal to go all the way from the south across the gulf to the mouth of the orinoco river and travel up the river find the headwaters of the amazon go down the amazon and go over to africa and go up the congo river. huge ambition. he didn't make it. the reason is he got sick and it was at the end of his walk in that changed history basically. his motivation was he'd read a lot of travel. it had profound experience in botany in biology and he'd also taken wisconsin geology classes and that improves importance later on when he's in the sierras. and he was curious about the unknown. hit his profound curiosity about how things work and how things are related and he had the goal of the palm tree and the goal of the amazon. that is what motivated him. now, what he took with him was pretty limited. hit one rubberized bag, one student of thin wool clothing which was actually pretty good travel gear. he would average about 18-20 miles a day and

he knew the bible inside and out and he believes the bible and he believed in jesus and he prayed andll the stuff. but i was in such pain that account if this is an intelligent guy, i'll continue to have conversation with him. i just won't let them get into close. i will not go to church or have a bible study i was basically think this is not for me, keep your distance. i was in enough pain that it didn't do that respectfully enough. every now and again i would think well maybe, maybe. to be quite honest, i was trying to avoid those people like the plague. so one day he said why don't you pray that god revealed himself to you. and i thought if i knew god were real, i could preaching but the whole point is i don't know he will real so what, am i going to pray to the oxygen in the room? it seemed like a conundrum but sometimes when you're in enough pain, you shoot up one of those prayers like god, reveal yourself. what ticket ballot again but not expecting anything. i wanted the site and one that i had a dream about my 25th birthday, my oncologist passed away. my dads brother. the dream

because that's in the bible. it's also in milton. somehow he links that up with gods glory as the palm tree. he wants to see a palm tree. and he also establishes a goal of wanting to go all the way from the south across the gulf to the amount of the river, travel up the river, find headwaters of the amazon, go down the amazon, then go over to africa and go up the congo river. huge ambition. he didn't make it. the reason is, he got sick of the dirt in of his walk and that changed history acyclic. so his motivations were he read a lot of travel. he had profound experience in botany and biology. it also taken what is at wisconsin some geology classes. that will improve important much later on race in the sierras. he was curious about the unknown. yet this profound curiosity, how things work, how things are related. and he had the goal of the palm tree and the goal of the amazon. so that's what motivated him. now, what he took with him is pretty limited. he had one rubberized back, one suit of thin wool clothing which pretty good travel

england voted to leave new york voted hillary but the bible bible belt voted trump what makes you think the nation state pendle them one swing back i mean it looks like it is making a comeback no. it seems like they're looking for an identification after thirty five years of intensive globalization. be can now see that there is a little bit of a backlash and it's difficult probably for us human beings to identify with the globe as a unit of analysis however what i think we can clearly see is that people identify with smaller units of analysis and the unit of analysis seems to be the city so cities seem to be more interesting than ever particularly if we look at the numbers where people are migrating warner less society has already existed in the e.u. for years but was a migrant crisis and a spike in terrorism borders are being green traduced and sassed is it premature to hope for a world without borders. though i don't see see a world without borders i see a world full of borders the question is what kind of borders we will have whether they are soft or hard that's number one number two

i can't remember whether she asked him to sign the bible were just notices that says reach her bible, you'll be a saint. my mother was a saint. nixon's mother throughout his life was sort of his conscience. and she died two years before he finally won the presidency. throughout that night, there's references in rambling about his mom and you can make the psychological argument that he was very concerned about the fact she would not approve of him expanding the war in the way that he did into cambodia, that the death of the four students at kent state would be something that she would really object to. he was expressing not only tension, that some small bit ofs guilt and shame. that's at least the way of always interpreted that. >> let's see if we can get to a couple more over here. >> perhaps it would have been better if richard nixon would have never become president. given that he did, it was believed it would've been better for the republican party and for the country if you'd won in 1960 rather than 1968. is that a sentiment that you share or not? >> nixon was amazing that all thr

in the bible, it says not to judge. right for people to judge trump. when he was running for president, they were african-americans beating up white people because they were voting for him. i think that is wrong. --te people were beating up if white people were beating up black people for voting for hillary, wouldn't that be terrible? says kkk or trump whenever [indiscernible] see other people attacking him because it that speech. let's hear what they have got to say. host: let's let johnnie moore respond. another point i disagreed with the press conference, i do not believe there is moral equivalency between nazis and anything else. i am close to the jewish community. the nazis killed countless of millions of people in the most grotesquely you can imagine. it is a point i disagree, but i also agree that in the united states of america, you do have freedom of speech. when that becomes violence, on the left or right, you had surrendered your freedom of speech. it is not that what the president was saying was untrue, there were breakdowns in the system,

david: your view would be that what is in the bible is allegorical, not to be taken as absolute fact.rds, the bible would say maybe the earth is a couple of thousand years old, scientists would say it's much older, so how you reconcile those two strands of thought? dr. collins: a lot of people are tripped up by what they interpret as a conflict to between a literal interpretation of genesis and what science teaches us very convincingly about the age of the universe, almost 14 billion years, and the age of the earth, almost 5 billion years, but that idea there is a conflict is a recent arrival on the scene. go back and read saint augustine in 400 a.d. he was obsessed with what genesis is trying to tell us. he would have been the first to say that this literal interpretation is unjustified based on the original language and the way in which the audience for the original genesis stories would have interpreted it. somehow we particularly in the united states over the course of the last 150 years have taken something that was clearly written in the way that had a lot of ambiguity and insis

and we read bible verses, that's how i grew up, reading. the time i was 6 and got shuttled to milwaukee and-- 'cause my birthday came in the wrong time-- i hadn't start-- the grace, for me, is that i didn't spend a day in a segregated school. so i did not have one moment of ever being conditioned to believe that i was less than anybody. so when i walked into my first kindergarten class, first time i'd ever seen little white children that grandmother didn't, you know, work for. and everybody was doing their abc things. and i was like, "why are the children doing the abcs?" so i wrote my kindergarten teacher, miss knew, a letter. and i said, "dear miss knew, i do not belong here." [audience laughing] so-- "because i know a lot of big words." and then i proceeded to write every big word i knew. anybody who reads the bible here, it was shadrach, meshach, abednego, nehemiah, jeremiah. and then i put in elephant and hippopotamus just because they were some more big words. so i kinda then-- i saw the impression that made on miss knew. speaking of

soties virginians felt that slavery was sanctioned by the bible and the responsibility was to treat his slaves well to teach them to read so that is where henry started in the 1740's. by 1773, we go because we have many letters of that quaker abolitionist and this happens to be the most famous that henry wrote a letter that says slavery is evil you cannot justify that by religion of the enlightenment and yet here it is. so who would suppose in this modern age that i am the owner of slaves and slaves of my own purchase? one of the things that i do respect about him in this passage is is cantor and honesty. and those who say our families had slaves what are we supposed to do? explicitly admitting his complicity in the institution witted is wrong. and to rubio engage in those discussions so basically to find more documentation and headed for college with that quaker americana and such so for example, then governor of virginia 1776 through 1779 they decided they would start to free some of his slaves and give plant to have the opportunity to be independent small farmers so five years before

the bible is the oldest document that challenges that. the old testament says the stranger as a native because our ancestors were strangers in the land of egypt and knew what slavery in opposition were all about it in the new testament, matthew tells us the love of strangers -- i was hungry and you gave me food. i was thirsty and you gave me drink and i was a stranger and you welcomed me in. brothers and sisters, it is not just our neighbors we must love and treat with me drink and i was a stranger resps all god's children. deserves children were respect, dignity, security, hospitality and comfort. godre all children of one and everything we say and do must follow from that basic truth. who are we to turn away and ignore poverty in the midst of the enormous quest of this great country and land of plenty. who are we to turn away and ignore injustice in a nation with a constitution and a set of laws guaranteeing equal protection and a right to vote in this country, brothers and sisters. who are we to refuse to care for this world and give s

the bible was hugely important to him. when he was under stress for the rest of his life, he always fell back on images from scripture, when henry clay threw in his lot with john quincy adams, becoming the -- and made adams president, even though jackson had won the plurality of votes in 1824, another thing that they ultimately regret -- instantly jackson said clay is the judas of the west and his end will be the same. not exactly a audacity of hope kind of moment. talk about all that in a second. though he saw the world in this, i think, wonderfully epic way that largely grew out of the bible, another favorite book was the scottish chiefs, which when you think about braveheart, make goods sense, a heroic story of william wallace. another book he read and gave to other young men in his family, the letters of lord chesterfield. remember? this was an age when americans were trying to make themselves into gentlemen. they didn't have much to go on. chesterfield had written this kind of manners guide, which taught you how to be
