More men and women have been killed in peace than in war, and if a Christian is fighting to overthrow a tyrant, is it not his moral, godly duty? If a soldier is pressed into ...

First, lowering the drinking limit to 18 will pave way for teens to be drinking in bars patronized by adults aged between 21 and 34. These adults are likely to drink more heavily than the teens because they have had many years of drinking. The ...

The polar bear is specially adapted to survive in the cold pole regions. Its body structure and genetic composition have substantially evolved to accommodate the low temperatures and harsh environmental conditions. Its behavioral attributes ...
