By Paul Nelson and David Klinghoffer | December 13, 2016 | 2:37 PM EST Darwinian theory is broken and may not be fixable. That was the takeaway from a meeting last month organized by the world's most distinguished and historic scientific organization, which went mostly unreported by the media. The three-day conference at the Royal Society in London was remarkable in confirming something that advocates of intelligent design (ID), a controversial scientific alternative to evolution, have said … [Read more...]
Dennis Prager on Evolution: Stephen Meyer Turned Me Around
This is pretty remarkable. Our colleague Stephen Meyer was on Dennis Prager’s radio show earlier this week to talk about the recent volume Steve co-edited, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique. Dennis described how, on the theory of evolution — “the creative power of mutation and natural selection,” as Dr. Meyer summarizes the issue — Steve turned him around. Prager’s Journey On his own intellectual journey, here’s what Prager told Meyer: Until I met … [Read more...]
How Evolution Fooled Us Into Believing In God (Wink, Wink)
Discover magazine tells readers why people believe in God. It’s simple: Evolution fooled us! But in fact the article is a perfect case study in how a sweeping story of “evolution” gets credit for just about anything. Bridget Alex wrote the article, titled, “How the Human Brain Evolved to Believe in Gods.” She points to three “evolved” tendencies: “We seek patterns, infer intentions and learn by imitation.” Pattern-seeking is about seeing cause-and-effect relationships. There’s a connection … [Read more...]

11 FALSE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT CHRISTIANITY
By Timothy W. Massaro on Sep 05, 2017 in God, Q&A God is a genocidal maniac. The God revealed in the Bible is not reducible to the attributes of love or mercy. God is a righteous, holy, and just God. He must punish evil. If God didn’t have reasons for doing so beyond our comprehension, he would not be worthy of worship, let alone belief. We would never praise a judge who chooses to let convicted thieves, murders, and rapists return home without justice. Even if a judge did this … [Read more...]
WHY ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
February 18, 2016 By Tim Stratton Why are you a Christian? As a full-time church youth pastor and a part-time adjunct professor at a Christian college, I like to ask this question to all of my students. In fact, I ask this question quite often to many active churchgoers these days. The answer I typically receive in response to my simple question is nothing but a blank stare. After a little coaxing, sometimes I get answers like, “because my parents were Christians,” or, “’cause I was born in … [Read more...]
10 REASONS TO ACCEPT THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS AS AN HISTORICAL FACT
When I left the ministry due to my skepticism, one of the factors involved in my departure concerned the reliability of the New Testament documents and the resurrection of Jesus. The folks from the Jesus Seminar had me second-guessing whether I could trust what the New Testament said and if I could truly accept the literal bodily resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. In July of 2005, my life changed. I entered the Lifeway Christian Bookstore in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and read three books … [Read more...]
INVESTIGATING BART EHRMAN’S TOP TEN TROUBLESOME BIBLE VERSES
January 30, 2016 J. Warner Wallace On the final page of the paperback edition of Misquoting Jesus, Bart Ehrman famously listed the “Top Ten Verses That Were Not Originally in the New Testament.” In an effort to discredit the reliability of the New Testament text, Ehrman offered this list to demonstrate the existence of many late insertions in the text. He found this reality troubling as a young man, and eventually walked away from his Christian faith as a result: “The Bible began to appear … [Read more...]
HOW ATHEISM FAILS TO EXPLAIN A BEGINNING OF THE UNIVERSE
By James Bishop| My intent here is to briefly touch on the troubles that a universe with a beginning has for atheists, especially for their proposed explanations. The beginning of our universe is evidently troubling for atheists judging by their responses. For a start, philosophical reasoning shows that it is not possible to have an infinite regress of past events. Couple that with persuasive scientific evidence from cosmic expansion and the second law of thermodynamics, and we needn’t doubt … [Read more...]
EVIDENCE OF THE RESURRECTION ACCEPTED EVEN BY ATHEIST NEW TESTAMENT SCHOLARS
This blog post is based on the Minimal Facts argument for the Resurrection of Jesus by Dr. Gary Habermas, and it one of the strongest arguments that I have seen for the resurrection. Dr. Habermas is an American historian, New Testament scholar, and philosopher of religion, and he has been studying the resurrection for around 40 years now. During this time he has been cataloging the accepted facts of the resurrection by every New Testament scholar he can find, regardless of their belief. He … [Read more...]
