Christ in Post-Christian Culture
Our children are growing up in a post-Christian culture in which the public often views people of faith as irrelevant or even, in some cases, extremist. In his book Scientism and Secularism, J.P. Moreland articulates a way of friendly engagement with the prevailing worldview of Scientism. By Steven Barto, B.S. Psych. IN HIS BLOG POST …

"The purpose in a man's mind is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out" (Proverbs 20:5, RSV). "We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28, RSV). IT IS OBVIOUS THAT purpose can guide life decisions, …

Most science textbooks on cosmology credit Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson with the discovery that the universe began with a hot big bang creation event. While Penzias and Wilson were the first (1965) to detect the radiation left over from the creation event, they were not the first scientists to recognize that the universe is …

Evolution must now be understood and explained at the molecular level. Evolution is a rather malleable term. It can be used by me, for example, to mean something as simple as change over time. You might use it to mean the descent of all life forms from a common ancestor. In its full-on, biological sense, …

When Jerry Falwell died on May 15, 2007, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked the caustic atheist Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) for his reaction. Cooper said, "I'm not sure if you believe in heaven, but, if you do, do you think Jerry Falwell is in it?" Hitchens held nothing back. He took a deep breath, smirked, and …

This question has been the fuel for countless discussions, arguments, and debates for centuries. I spend several hours a week viewing YouTube documentaries on apologetics, postmodernism, Israeli-Palestinian relations, Islam, creationism, evolution, and atheism. Having undertaken a systematic study of worldviews, I'm reminded that nearly no one simply creates his or her own worldview. We inherit …

The truth about God is too important not to be seriously investigated and honestly and fairly discussed. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for friendly conversations about religion to escalate into shouting matches—and this helps no one. Belief and unbelief are two sides to the same coin. The debate over faith and spirituality is here to …

Exactly What is String Theory? String theory attempts to unify the four forces in the universe – electromagnetic, strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and gravity – together into one unified theory. When it was originally developed in the 1970s, the filaments of energy in string theory were considered to be one-dimensional objects: strings. (One-dimensional indicates that …

Perhaps one of the hardest things we face is taking stock of whether our actions match what we claim to believe. Our worldview - that is, how we see the world and our place in it, or, if you prefer, our "philosophy of life" - should be obvious from our behavior. A worldview is not …
