“Every artifact of human culture is a positive response to God's general revelation and simultaneously a rebellious assertion against His sovereign rule over us.”

“God either rules as sovereign in interpretation over *all* areas of life or none.”

“The dialectical or ecological approach asserts that creating the world is involved in our every act. It is impossible for us to operate in our daily lives and not create the world that everyone must live in. What we desire arranges the genetic code in all of our major crops and livestock. We cannot avoid participating in the creation, and it is in agriculture, far and away our largest and most basic artifact, that human culture and the creation totally interpenetrate.”

“The only sovereign we could allow to rule us is reason.”

“The truth is, going against the internal stream of ignorance is way more rebellious than trying to start some sort of cultural revolution.”

“Each of us is responsible for everything and to every human being.”
