Five Archaeology Books Every Christian Should Read
The Bible is not just one book, but sixty-six books composed over a period of around fifteen hundred years. The stories recorded in the Bible are not a myth, but real events recorded by real people who lived in real places in history. This means two things: First, as...

151. YOU RETIRING? "Don't put a period where God is putting a comma. Let Him punctuate your life story as He sees fit." -- Unknown 152. TAKE ACTION “Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand." --Thomas Carlyle...
Philosophical Arguments that the Universe had a Beginning
This is my last blog dealing with the origin of the universe as an argument for the existence of God. I’ll examine the issue of whether new physics might be discovered to enable the universe to be past eternal. I’ll offer a couple of philosophical arguments against...
Footsteps of Jesus: Our First Day
At this very moment I am sitting at a small wooden desk. To my left is a window that looks out onto a body of water. It’s no ordinary body of water. Mountains surround it on almost all sides. As the sun goes down my eyes soak in the beauty of the gray surface of the...

Objection to Premise 1 of the Kalam: Doesn’t Quantum Mechanics Violate the Causal Principle?

What Counts as Evidence for God from Science?
Some might say that science leaves no room for the supernatural and therefore it’s impossible for science to ever provide any evidence for God. Note that if such a claim is made then science could likewise never claim any evidence against God’s existence as it would...
Can Science Disprove God?
Suppose that there were no scientific evidence whatsoever for the existence of God, would that disprove God? Or would that necessarily make it irrational to believe in God? I argue that it wouldn’t – such an overly-skeptical view reveals a flawed epistemology (theory...
