1. Apostle's
2. Nicene
3. Chalcedonian

5. Higher by Creed

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010.

What’s the one website/app you still think about?

Boethius was critical for the development of Christian orthodoxy. Through his use of philosophy, he brought conceptual clarity where there was great confusion. -Antonio Donato, Professor of Medieval Philosophy

NEW ISSUE ON BOETHIUS is out! https://t.co/GYxELA7CTr

[Matthew Barrett @MattMBarrett]

The Consolation of Philosophy has been one of the most important books for me. At last, the new issue @CredoMagazine is here and it is dedicated to introducing you to Boethius. Here are articles by professors and priests to help you along: https://t.co/gURj1RUj4l

Big thanks to our executive editor @Connor_Shack, as well as Matt Pitts and Spencer McCorkel

Is there a movie more overrated than Prince of Egypt? It's fine but the final song is simply terrible, Jeff Goldblum plays himself to distraction, and it's got some weird proto-feminist stuff going on with Tzipporah.

It's far from a poor movie but it's far from perfect.

Oh I think we all know which religion he's aimed at making us question

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

Steven Spielberg says the truth about ufos will “dislocate society” and cause humans to question their religions.

“I believe my movie Disclosure Day is going to answer questions and it is going to cause a lot of people to ask a lot of questions.”

AI may "write" faster than me but I'd love to see it survive the feedback from reader #2

[Jennifer A. Frey @jennfrey]

Every academic press and journal needs a clear ban on AI writing.

"I'm smart in one thing so I must be a genius in all things" is the exact opposite kind of attitude I want in a person governing me and my family

Being the #1 team in the nation earns you the right to host the playoffs. It's not a right to win them

[Michael Hanna @MichaelMHanna]

Out of all the (stupid) playoff systems around, NCAA baseball is *by far* the dumbest.

Happy to say I'll be going back to ETS this year! My paper is "A Thomistic Apologetic Against Transgenderism."

I'll be arguing how a Thomistic metaphysic of human nature helps answer the redefinition of what makes a human being by transgender ideology.

I arise today through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

Happy Trinity Sunday!

Nah fam, that's called being Anglican

[☦︎ 𝔓𝔞𝔱𝔯𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔠 𝔓𝔦𝔩𝔩 ☦︎ @patristicpill]

The Protestant wants apostolic writings without apostolic authority.

Paul’s letters? Yes.

Paul’s bishops, tradition, Eucharist, liturgy, and Church tho?

Suddenly that’s “man made religion”

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

The idea that Christians aren't allowed to have love for or a connection with their country is a modern lie

[Tyler Campbell @osucowboytc]

Dear American Christians,

If America ceased to exist tomorrow, would you have an identity crisis?

Your honest answer to that may reveal some things about where your identity really lies.

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

I've traveled all over the US. I've been to Europe many times. I've seen the Northern lights in Iceland and the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. But none of it compares to seeing my 2 year old son waving his arms around trying to juggle like me in a courtyard in Jackson, Mississippi

VPNs occupy a similar role in society to guns. They cause many significant harms and have no clear benefit, yet their legality is mysteriously correlated with places you want to live.

Nothing calls for the suspension of disbelief like evolution

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

Every marine biologist learns the physics problem whale mothers face:

How do you transfer liquid nutrients to your baby in an environment where liquids should instantly dissolve and disperse?

Whale milk contains 30-50% fat content. Human milk is 4%.

The evolutionary solution was to create something closer to toothpaste than liquid. When a whale calf latches underwater, the mother's mammary muscles contract like a hydraulic pump, shooting this dense mixture directly into the calf's mouth in concentrated bursts.

The milk forms temporary globules that resist mixing because of the extreme fat density. Surface tension creates a protective barrier around each droplet. The calf swallows before the ocean has time to break down the molecular structure.

But the real genius is the timing.

Whale mothers release milk in coordinated pulses with their calf's breathing rhythm. The transfer happens in the brief moments when both animals are positioned to create a sealed pocket between them. The mother essentially turns her body into a biological delivery system that operates in perfect sync with oceanic pressure and movement.

Millions of years of evolution solving a fluid dynamics problem that human engineers would need computer modeling to figure out.

The dominant view among scholars (not beholden to sign "statements of faith") is that none of the men who wrote the New Testament ever met Jesus before he died.

[Matthew Barrett @MattMBarrett]

Young men in this extremely online era are being formed by an internet engineered for maximum assertion and tribal loyalty, which knows nothing of patience or any other virtue. This “platform culture” rewards the loudest voice, but not the most faithful one. Yet, to lead the Church, and serve Christ in building something that will endure, requires a different kind of formation altogether. -Bryan Hollon, president @TASeminary
