On more than one occasion I have made the passing comment that “the Darwinist has no answer to . . .” this or that phenomenon. For instance, we have said that the Darwinist has no answer for the irreducible complexity of particular biological systems in nature. Recall, that an irreducibly complex system is one that could not have come into existence through the slow step-by-step process of evolution because the system is not functional until all the components are in place. More recently we have said that the Darwinists seem to have no answer for how humans “evolved” self-consciousness from simple atoms found in the human brain. But these are rather general statements to provide evidence that “the Darwinist has no answer for . . .” We could say the same when it comes to morality and the universal moral obligations pending upon all human beings. The same statement could be recycled: “The Darwinist has no answer for” how morality evolved in human beings. However, the statement demands a better answer than that because the Darwinist does put forward an answer to the morality question that deserves consideration.

Some of the hardest-hit areas are hundreds of miles inland and nowhere near the coast, with one profound impact: flooding. This scenario has happened in Oklahoma several times, where a hurricane or tropical storm moves in from the Gulf of Mexico and brings significant rainfall. The convective storms we see in the state usually carry a flood risk, too. With flood at the forefront of our minds, I want to give Oklahomans an overview of flood insurance.
