From Laws of Physics to Reasonable Faith
By Luke Nix Many may be surprised to find that knowledge is actually the foundation for faith in God. A Blind Faith And God's Hiddenness Two common challenges to the truth of the Christian worldview are the seeming hiddenness of God and the accusation that...
Why the “Odds” Favor the Existence of a Creator
By Al Serrato With each passing year, science is providing more evidence that the universe is exquisitely fine-tuned to support human life. Change any one of dozens of scientific parameters by even a small amount and life on Planet Earth would never have arisen....
Grappling with Divine Hiddenness: Why Does God Not Make His Existence More Obvious?
One of the most challenging objections to the existence of God is the problem of divine hiddenness. Closely related to the problem of evil, the problem of divine hiddenness asks “Where is God?”; “Why doesn’t God make His existence more obvious?”; “Why does God leave...
How Reason Supports Belief In The Existence of God
By Al Serrato Many atheists today hold the view that faith and reason are opposites. They view Christians as believing in God "despite the evidence" instead of because of it, and as long as they hold that view, they will not be open to considering the evidence...
The Necessity of a Cosmic Mind
By Brian Chilton Anyone who is anyone in apologetics has heard of the kalam cosmological argument. Short, concise, and powerful; the kalam argument notes the causal agency behind the origins of the universe. Simply put, the kalam argument...
The Fire-Breathing Dragon in The Garage vs God
In the year 2018 the debate “What Best Explains Reality: Theism or Atheism? (Frank Turek vs. Michael Shermer)” took place. Frank presented his case for the existence of God as the best explanation for some facts about reality, such as the origin and fine-tuned of the...
How Do I Know that I Know?
By Richard Howe In 2013, I had the privilege of participating in both a written and panel dialog/debate with K. Scott Oliphint of Westminster Seminary and Jason Lisle founder of the Biblical Science Institute. Oliphint is a theologian and Lisle is an astrophysicist....
Does The Big Bang Require An Absolute Beginning To The Universe?
By Luke Nix Has Dr. Sean Carroll escaped the theistic implications of the Big Bang? Does The Universe Have A Cause? One of the most popular arguments for God's existence is the argument from the beginning of the universe. It goes like this: 1. Everything that begins...
Evidence in the Flesh for Apologetics
By Dawn Simon I was raised in a family and a community where religious beliefs were considered personal and virtually never discussed. I attended a Catholic grade school and continued with religion classes through high school. I was a good student and knew what I was...
What Does Thermodynamics Have To Do With The Origin Of The Universe?
By Bob Perry Big Bang cosmology isn’t the only scientific evidence that the universe had a beginning. There are parallel laws of nature that point us to the same conclusion. We get one of them from the study of thermodynamics. This is not something that is hard to...
Challenges to neo-Darwinian theories of development
By Julie Hannah In Article 1, “The arising of our universe: design or chance?” I discussed evidence for the design behind our finely-tuned universe, which has convinced some mainstream scientists of the existence of a transcendent Creator. Article 2, “Can living cells...
Can living cells arise randomly from non-living chemicals?
By Julie Hannah In Article 1, “The arising of our universe: design or chance?” I discussed evidence for the design behind our finely-tuned universe, which has convinced some mainstream scientists of the existence of a transcendent Creator. In this article, I present...
How We Can Know Who Created the Universe
By Al Serrato It is difficult to overstate the importance of the discovery of the Big Bang. After all, even without sophisticated philosophical arguments, most people intuitively recognize that all things that come into existence must have some preceding cause...
The arising of our Universe: Design or Chance?
By Julie Hannah How likely is it that our universe is the result of random physical operations? Scientists point out that shaping the universe into its present form required a very precise balance of many finely-tuned physical constants such as these: Gravitational...
Systems Engineering in Nature
By Cathryn Buse Before I had children, I worked as a systems engineer at NASA at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. Through my career, I met a lot of brilliant scientists and engineers who were committed Christians. But I also encountered a lot of...
What Is The Fine-Tuning Argument For God’s Existence, And Does The Multiverse Counter It?
By Wintery Knight One of the best arguments for the existence of a Creator and Designer of the universe is the cosmic fine-tuning argument. The argument argues that individual constants and quantities in nature cannot be much smaller or larger than they are,...
An Intro to Arguments for God’s Existence
By J. Brian Huffling Does God exist? This has been one of the most asked questions in history with the most profound implications. As Norman Geisler used to say, our view of God’s existence is most important since it determines what we think about everything else....
Does The Cambrian Explosion Disprove Darwinism?
By Ryan Leasure In The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin argued that “all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from someone primordial form.”1 Darwin suggested that this primordial life form gradually developed into new life forms,...
Jeff Hester Debates William Lane Craig On The Topic “Is Belief In God Rational In A Scientific Age?”
By Wintery Knight I was very excited to see a recent debate by Christian philosopher William Lane Craig against atheist astronomer Jeff Hester. When I summarize a debate, I do a fair, objective summary if the atheist is intelligent and informed, as with Peter...
