“El amor ganó” es el hashtag elegido por aquellos que apoyan la última decisión de la Corte Suprema, la cual se aprobó en este organismo legislativo con una votación de 5-4. Sí no estás contento con ella, entonces eres solamente un malvado intolerante que debe callarse y apoyar la nueva legislación. Olvida el hecho que […]
El ateo Richard Dawkins ha declarado: “El universo que observamos tiene precisamente las características que deberíamos esperar pues al final no hay diseño, propósito, bien o mal. Nada más que una dura y despiadada indiferencia…el ADN no sabe ni le importa. El ADN simplemente está, y nosotros bailamos al compás de su melodía. Pero Dawkins […]
Por Chris Du-pond Frecuentemente tengo conversaciones con personas que afirman que la ciencia es el único medio razonable para obtener conocimiento y llegar a la verdad.

The Sirens were mythical creatures spoken of in many ancient Greek stories, notably in the writings of the poet Homer (such as the Odyssey). The Sirens were beautiful creatures portrayed as seductively attractive women who lured and ensnared unsuspecting sailors with their enchanting music and hypnotizing voices. Sirens may have been beautiful, but they were […]
Imagine equipping everyone in the world with something like a pocket-apologist, an Artificial Intelligence available to present for you customized evidences supporting Christianity and to offer instant scholarly answers to complex questions. Well, it looks like a website is in development to do something like this. It is called “Treesearch” (beliefmap.org) and seems like it […]
Dr. Daniel Wallace, one of the top New Testament manuscript experts in the world, has weighed in on the recently revealed manuscript fragment where Jesus allegedly refers to “my wife.” The bottom line is that even if this fragment is authentic, it is far too late to give us any new information on the historical […]
