The Pale Blue Dot
When I was growing up in the late 1970s, we were all pretty sure that the universe was brimming with intelligent life, somewhere. Advanced civilizations lay just beyond our reach, made up of organisms who might be based not on carbon but on silicon or aluminum. They might inhabit gas giants akin to our Jupiter,Continue reading “The Pale Blue Dot”
What Science Can Teach Us About God
In 2019, Templeton Prize winner Marco Gleiser made waves when he said that “atheism is inconsistent with the scientific method.” In his view, atheism is a “categorical statement of belief,” and doesn’t depend on evidence as much as assumptions. This, of course, clashes with claims of the so-called “New Atheism,” that science has officially debunkedContinue reading “What Science Can Teach Us About God”
All In a Single Day
Who can fully appraise the treasures of God’s glory woven into even a single day of history? We all underestimate the value of those treasures! The Bible makes this amazing assertion about time: “With the Lord one day is as a thousand years” (2 Pet. 3:8). It is as though God sees every single secondContinue reading “All In a Single Day”
Why Did God Make Us from Dirt?
Genesis 2:7 teaches, “The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” With the rest of creation, God had simply spoken things into existence (e.g., Genesis 1:3, 14, 20, 24), but God does things differently withContinue reading “Why Did God Make Us from Dirt?”
Are Men Abandoning College?
In yet another indicator that they are not ok, men in America are abandoning higher education in record numbers. According to the Wall Street Journal, at the end of the 2020 academic year, the percentage of male college students dropped to just over 40 percent. Soon, if current trend lines continue, one expert predicts, for every man whoContinue reading “Are Men Abandoning College?”
Getting to Know You
Knowing God through Revelation God created people for relationship with him (Gen. 1:26–31). This relationship depends on our knowing him. God has a mind, a will, and emotions. He communicates, revealing himself. This revelation comes in two basic forms: general revelation and special revelation. Without them, we cannot know God. God’s revelation is trustworthy, forContinue reading “Getting to Know You”
Seeing Past the Ugliness
There are few things I love more than a good sunrise. There are few things I love more than waking up before dawn, driving to one of the parks or beaches along the shores of Lake Ontario, and watching the sun rise over the waters. Some of the richest and most beautiful displays of God’sContinue reading “Seeing Past the Ugliness”
Why Do Some Christian Believe the Earth Is Only 6,000 Years Old?
Science and faith issues are no doubt a hot topic of discussion when it comes to defending the truth of Christianity. Many Christians hold many different views about the timing and mechanism of God’s creative acts. Some views hold numerous details in common while others may hold only many details in common. It is theContinue reading “Why Do Some Christian Believe the Earth Is Only 6,000 Years Old?”
A Quick History’s View of What It Is to Be a Human Being
In our day, most attempts to understand what it means to be human do not begin with Scripture but rather proceed from a worldly perspective. The most common definition for a human being—or for what it means to be human—is the scientific name Homo sapiens, meaning “wise man.” This term, in distinguishing man from allContinue reading “A Quick History’s View of What It Is to Be a Human Being”
