Last week, 535 members of the 116th U. S. Congress were sworn into office. But only two seemed to make the news. That’s because they chose not to honor the tradition of placing their left hands on the Bible when they took the oath of office. If you’re a committed Christian, you probably wish they …
Category: Ground
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.
The Cure For Spiritual Disorientation
I have made the case that the church is suffering from spiritual disorientation. There are many Christians who are flying through this life in much the same way as a pilot who is spatially disoriented. Like that pilot, they’ve lost all reference to the ground. And that’s a dangerous position to be in. The first …
Mt. Kilauea Volcano Eruption: Evidence Of Divine Design
Lava pouring through residential neighborhoods. Buildings swallowed up by flaming rock. Houses on fire. The scene looks apocalyptic, more proof that our world is plagued by pointless evil. While natural disasters like this seem gratuitous, Hawaii’s Mt. Kilauea volcano eruption is actually evidence of divine design. At last count, more than 2000 people have had …
The Case For The Existence Of God
This talk is a summary of the cumulative case for the existence of God. It includes the Cosmological Argument, the Design Argument, and the Moral Argument for God's existence.
The Origin of Life and Intelligent Design
The Anthropic Principle is astounding enough all on its own. But the evidence for theism gets even stronger when we consider the origin of life. This is evidence that has only appeared in the last 60 years. That’s when we discovered that there is a digital code that defines life itself. There is the signature …
We Live In A Designer Universe
We live in a designer universe. As discussed elsewhere, the origin of life is just the local manifestation of a bigger picture. A divine hand operates our universe and has been at work in it since its origin. The evidence for intelligent design begins at the macro-level. There are hundreds of factors that have to be …
Origins: A Philosophical Argument
There is no getting around the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. It points to a beginning of the universe. Likewise, Big Bang Cosmology is one of the most rigorously tested and accurately confirmed theories in history. Opponents of theism may dislike the implications of these scientific pieces of evidence but there is no denying that they offer …
What Does Thermodynamics Have To Do With The Origin Of The Universe?
Big Bang cosmology isn’t the only scientific evidence that the universe had a beginning. There are parallel laws of nature that point us to the same conclusion. We get one of them from the study of thermodynamics. This is not something that is hard to comprehend. You already understand it because you have to charge …
What You Need To Know About The Cosmological Argument
The fact that the universe had a beginning is one of several arguments for God’s existence. I would like to offer a brief overview of the three most powerful ones. I will include links to video and other resources that have helped me understand this point. Readers can pursue whichever ones they would like to …
The Case For A Good God
There's a reason this whole topic is usually referred to as "the problem of evil." It's a problem for sure. But remember, it's a problem for everyone. Everyone wants an explanation. And every view of the world needs to give one.
