During a break at a conference I attended I was reading an introductory book on cosmology. When I arrived at the author’s comments on Isaac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation I just sat in awe. Like you, I’ve heard of the Law before but never really just sat back and let it soak in. Newton’s … Continue reading Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

Infinity vs. Eternity
Q: Since the universe cannot logically be infinite (infinite regress), is it not logical that God can also not be infinite? A: This very good question does indeed rule out a concept of God who is "infinite" as the English word is defined. But, rather than described as "infinite," the God of the Bible is … Continue reading Infinity vs. Eternity
My response to actor, Brian Cox
Brian Cox is an outstanding actor. He's also a weak thinker, and egregiously disrespectful. His words in the May 1st, NY Post article are bigoted, intolerant, and hateful. The Post records Cox making the following asinine statements: “The Bible is one of the worst books ever, for me, from my point of view. Because it … Continue reading My response to actor, Brian Cox
To all skeptics of the biblical worldview…
I’m not asking you to accept the Christian faith. I’m merely asking to consider the scientific data. Is it possible everything in the cosmos just popped into existence by chance? Anything’s possible. (It’s possible a steak dinner will pop into existence in front of me shortly.) But, scientists don’t focus their attention on the endless … Continue reading To all skeptics of the biblical worldview…
Can a Scientist Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Meet Dr. Ian Hutchinson, Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. Hutchinson is merely one of scientists from all over the world who have professed their faith in Jesus Christ. Below, I've printed for you the transcript of an article he authored in 2016 titled, "Can a Scientist Believe in the Resurrection? Three Hypotheses." … Continue reading Can a Scientist Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Science and the Bible
The Bible is not a "science book." That said, not a single passage related to creation contradicts the Laws of Nature. There are many passages related to creation. We can find three laws of nature in this one verse alone: "[God] stretches the northern skies over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing; he … Continue reading Science and the Bible
What is the “Begging the Question Fallacy”?
Read the following hypothetical exchange carefully. Sy Garte has a Ph.D. in Biochemistry. Garte is a fellow of the American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) and serves as vice president for the Washington, DC, metro chapter of the ASA. He’s also a Christian. “Begging the question” is a logical response to a questionable claim. But, said … Continue reading What is the “Begging the Question Fallacy”?
Is the Christian faith compatible with Science?
Is the Christian faith compatible with Science? 100%. There is no conflict between faith & science. “It’s not science that squeezes God out of the equation. Rather, it’s philosophy that squeezes God out of the equation.” “‘There is no God’ is never a scientific claim, but rather a philosophical claim.” Never allow yourself to be … Continue reading Is the Christian faith compatible with Science?
There is Good Reason to Believe in God
In Acts 14, we find Paul in Lystra in the region of Galatia (modern Turkey). Luke records Paul’s words to his listeners: “In the past, [God] permitted all the nations to go their own way, but he never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness…” - 14:17 “He’s never left us without evidence … Continue reading There is Good Reason to Believe in God
When My Faith Was Mocked
"Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." - 2 Timothy 3:12 I've never had my faith more mocked, and been more personally disrespected, than this past summer while visiting with a friend about the Christian faith. I'm not certain what happened. We'd been visiting amicably (mostly) for some … Continue reading When My Faith Was Mocked
