This section of the site deals with tangible evidence that points to the existence of God. It will explore any area of scientific exploration of the universe we live in, including biology, astronomy, physics, chemistry, history, and archaeology. It will also address areas of philosophy that focus on matters of truth, goodness, and beauty that form the foundation for our ability to understand and operate in that world. Here you will find both theoretical and fact-based implications in support of the case for theism in general and Christianity in particular, as well as critiques of the assumptions of the atheist/materialist view of the world.
There is a growing trend among some fundamentalist Christians to boycott Christmas. These folks contend that Christmas symbols like trees, mistletoe, Santa Claus, gift-giving and, most notably, the date we use for Christmas, are nothing but pagan practices. They believe that no real Christian should have anything to do with these things. I’m not going …
Craig Venter led the first privately funded effort to sequence the human genome. Some might think that would be enough to keep a guy busy for a while. Not so. Venter was also trying to be the first researcher to create life in a lab. If you’re interested, here is his own short description of …
Why would an all-powerful, all-good God allow all the evil things we see going on in the world? If he was so good, he would never permit the travesties of injustice and suffering we see all around us. If he was so powerful, he could stop it. The only possible explanations for the situation we …
Whenever I write about Christmas, I always do my best to keep the main thing the main thing. Christmas is about Jesus’ Incarnation, nothing else. Santa Claus and all the modern, materialistic reasons for the season are distractions. Talking about them just gives them more life. But then I learned about the actual man who …
Science, and the technology it breeds, is a dominating force in our culture. Understandably so. Science has extended our lives and made them more comfortable. It promises to do more of the same in the future. But the successes of science also tempt us to place more value in it than it deserves. As a …
Being able to make the case for the truth of Christianity means you have to understand it yourself. There are plenty of resources out there that can help you do that. I always try to share the best ones I know about. But right now, I want to offer you a visual tool as a …
The Language of God is a thoughtful biography of Francis Collins‘ journey from hard-core atheist to devout Christian. It’s also a well-written analysis of the relationship between science and faith. So, in the wake of recent news reports about Collins’ impending resignation as Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I dusted off an …
History shows that prudence and wisdom are rarely on the side of new ways of looking at Scripture. This is especially true of the “progressive” bent toward remaking Jesus in a postmodern image. So, when I first heard about Tom Gilson’s new book, Too Good To Be False, I have to admit I was confused. …
Jesus of Nazareth died on a Roman cross, then resurrected from the dead three days later. It’s not just a fairy tale. Christians believe that the Resurrection is a historical fact. It’s what sets Christianity apart from every other world religion. It is the foundation of the Christian faith. If it’s not true the New …
February 12th is Charles Darwin’s birthday. There aren’t many individuals who have had as much influence on the world as this one man. He is the godfather of Theory of Evolution and the Materialistic worldview that embraces it. And, for that reason, he is the target of a lot of ire from religious believers. I …
