Civil wars are among the most intractable conflicts in the world. Yet exactly distinguishes civil war from other types of armed struggle? In his book Civil Wars: A History in Ideas (Vintage Books, 2017), David Armitage examines the evolution of the concept over the centuries while explaining the relevance of that debate for today. As Armitage demonstrates, the Romans were the first to define civil wars as we understand them, giving us the name we use today. Their efforts were reflected in the works of authors in early modern Europe, who drew upon the classical tradition in order to comprehend the conflicts of their own day. Precision in defining war became increasingly relevant, both to distinguish civil wars from the newly recognized phenomenon of revolutions and with the emergence of efforts in the nineteenth century to regulate war through treaties and legal codes. This effort continues down to the present day, with the question of whether a conflict is or is not a civil war often determining how the international community responds to it.

Educate For Life with Kevin Conover
011 As Young as the Dinosaurs – Mark Armitage

This week Kevin talks to Christian microscopist Mark Armitage. After discovering unfossilized dinosaur tissues, Armitage was suspiciously dismissed from his position as Manager for the Electron and Confocal Microscopy Suite at California State University, Northridge. His scientific resume is impressive: Armitage has a BS in education, an MS in biology, and an Ed.S. in science education. He has contributed micrographs and scholarly articles to scientific journals, and has taught at both Azusa Pacific University and CSUN. Armitage contends that he was terminated not for his performance, but for his religious views, and is in the process of suing for wrongful termination. What’s the big deal about soft dinosaur tissues? The scientific establishment knows what is at stake with this issue, which is why other scientists (such as Mary Schweitzer) have offered feeble attempts to explain it away. As Armitage puts it, “If these fossils, these bones scattered across the earth are full of soft tissues, then they have to be young. And if they’re young, the deposits that they’re found in are young. And if the deposits are young, then the earth is young. And if the earth is young, suddenly Genesis becomes a believable account of real history, and that’s what the evolutionists are fearing.” Kevin and Mark talk about the scientific implications of these discoveries, and why they are significant to the gospel. Find out what Mark is up to at his blog, facebook, and youtube pages. You can also look at his personal facebook and youtube accounts. Consider supporting his GoFundMe campaign to help him run his personal microscopy lab, so that he can continue to research soft dinosaur tissues. This episode first aired on May 31st, 2015. We make video lessons to raise up confident Christians: https://educateforlife.org/
