What does it mean to be a human?
Are we just highly evolved primordial dirt or are we divinely inspired dust? Are we smart monkeys or image-bearers? Did we climb out of a warm little pond, or did we drop from the heavens? Did we haphazardly come together on the evolutionary fly or were we fearfully and wonderfully…..
The Intelligent Design (ID) movement is often portrayed as a religious Trojan Horse, a faux scientific steed hiding a band of religious fanatics trying to get a divine foot in the laboratory door.
Evolutionists … have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept…..
We live between the poles of birth and death. One filled with possibility and one with regret. For the materialist, this presents a bit of a quandary. Believing that a purposeless universe gave birth to purposeless creatures they find themselves unable to explain why they spend eighty years obsessing over purpose. Believing that life is a crapshoot…..
My wife runs a home for wayward felines. She takes in abandoned cats, diseased kittens, and mom’s with litters, fostering them until they can find a forever home. While my wife’s obsession occasionally causes marital conflicts, it is also the reason why I love her so much. She has a heart for God’s creation. She is the…..
We are all aware that plants and animals occupy distinct ecological niches. We know that various climates favor certain types of flora and fauna. We even travel the globe to encounter species that are not native to the areas in which we live. But what ecological niche do humans occupy? Interestingly, humans can be found inhabiting the arctic, the…..
Natural selection hammers the planet with physical challenge after physical challenge trying to weed out the evolutionary pretenders. Like a cruel school master, it schedules a never-ending series of tests to determine who will matriculate and who will be expelled. The students in this school of life are required to take earthquake, drought, and flood 101, as…..
As a physician, I find it quite disconcerting that academia has not only attempted to silence the voices of scientists that recognize a Designer in the world, but also has the chutzpah to silence the voice of nature itself. Uncomfortable, when the heavens declare they jump up to the podium, become nature’s press secretary, and put a materialistic spin on every transcendent…..
It has been a sad week; I lost a precious member of my extended family and a dear friend lost her son. If we live long enough, we will all come face-to-face with the death of a loved one. Every worldview, therefore, must deal with this important issue if it is to be viable in the marketplace of ideas. All…..
We often get hot and bothered over the theological and philosophical arguments for God’s existence, but seem oblivious to the fact that the only creatures arguing about it are humans. We get so distracted by the academic evidence that we fail to see the significance of academicians. The planet is an evidence locker filled with 7 billion walking, talking…..
We are in danger of losing our identities as unique beings created in the image of God. Our culture, fearing divine restrictions on its self-indulgent lifestyle, tries to remove God from the planet, but in the process strips off the very image that makes us human. Fearing religious maximalism, it doesn’t even allow divine minimalism.
The reason…..
