What Doctrinal Differences Tell Us
By Al Serrato Challenges to Christianity don’t always come from the outside, from atheists committed to removing every vestige of religious faith from society. Challenges can also come from committed Christians, whose beliefs are influenced, and often shaken, by...
Por qué es un error decir que todas las religiones son iguales
Por Al Serrato Todos los años se producen en Estados Unidos miles de delitos en los que no hay testigos ni apenas pruebas. A veces, el autor del delito deja una impresión dactilar -una huella latente- en algún lugar del escenario del crimen. En el pasado, estas...
What Would It Take To Prove That God Doesn’t Exist?
By Al Serrato Atheists who feel certain that there is no God are staking out a rather interesting position. As a corollary of their position, they are of course also convinced that those who believe in God are engaging in a form of wishful thinking, that their desire...
Por qué la gente odia ser juzgada
Por Al Serrato "No me juzgues" parece ser un refrán cada vez más pronunciado, y aceptado, en nuestra sociedad, que refleja lo que parece ser una tendencia humana universal y profundamente arraigada. Incluso los cristianos, que deberían saberlo mejor, parecen subirse...
What Does It Mean That God Is “Jealous”
By Al Serrato The Old Testament contains passages in which God is described as “jealous.” For instance, in Exodus 20, God’s Ten Commandments to the Israelites include the admonition not to worship false idols, with God explaining that “I, the Lord your God, am a...
Why People Hate Being Judged
By Al Serrato "Don't judge me" seems to be an increasingly uttered, and accepted, refrain in our society, reflecting what appears to be a universal and deep-seated human tendency. Even Christians, who should know better, seem to be jumping on board, believing somehow...
Lo que nos dice nuestra lucha perpetua con la entropía
Por Al Serrato Hace muchos años, cuando era más joven y mucho menos sabio, decidí que sería un buen proyecto de padre e hijo invertir en un coche antiguo que pudiera restaurar. (Nota para los padres: es mucho mejor encontrar algo que les guste a tus hijos que al...
Why It Is A Mistake To Say That All Religions Are The Same
By Al Serrato Every year in America, thousands of crimes occur in which there are no witnesses and very little evidence. Sometimes, the perpetrator leaves behind a fingerprint impression - a latent print -somewhere at the crime scene. In the past, these prints...
What Our Perpetual Fight With Entropy Tells Us
By Al Serrato Many years ago, when I was younger and much less wise, I decided it would be a good father-son project to invest in an older car that I could restore. (Note to fathers: it’s a much better bonding idea to find something your kids like than the other way...
Giving Atheists a Hand
By Al Serrato My seventh-grade nephew needed some help the other night on social studies. He was working on the Paleolithic Age - the Old Stone Age - a time when man first started working with stone and bone tools. That got me thinking about the greatest "tool" of all...
Problems with Evolutionary Biology
By Al Serrato "Let me see if I understand," I said to my daughter's high school biology teacher. "The human eye is the evolutionary product of a light-sensitive spot on the skin. Is that right?" "Right," she said. "And by evolution, you mean a mindless, random process...
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....
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...
Got Faith?
By Al Serrato Sitting in traffic the other day, I saw once again the bumper sticker “Got Faith?” It’s catchy, in a way, and in this age of sound bites, I can guess why people find it useful. Perhaps it’s a good discussion generator, a way...
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...
Why It Is Foolish To Insist There Is No God
By Al Serrato “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” If this passage from Psalms is correct, then many people today - including numerous scientists and other well-educated folks - are fools, for they insist that God does not exist. While...
Why We Can’t Know If The Universe Created Itself
By Al Serrato In the beginning, was… not the Word …. but the singularity event occurring in absolute nothingness and timelessness that spontaneously created all we see in the universe around us. So said physicist Stephen Hawking anyway, in his popular book The Grand...
What, Me Worry?
By Al Serrato Alfred E. Neumann, the famous face of Mad Magazine for many decades, popularized this slogan. While he wasn't referring to the question of salvation, this saying does seem to describe the way many people view that question today. Yes, there may be a God;...
When Is “Good” Good Enough?
By Al Serrato Your son walks in test paper in hand. You glance over and wince, seeing the big “60” in red ink at the top. “Don’t worry,” he says, “I did good on this test.” You ignore the faulty grammar. One problem at a time, you think, mulling over in your mind just...
