Milo Yiannopoulos Is No Longer a Homosexual!
When I told my son, I guess the more cynical of my three children, he didn't believe it. He, like a lot of people, figured he wasn't even homosexual in the first place, that it was all an act to gain attention. If you don't know who Milo is, he is a provocateur who...
If You Want to Strengthen Your Faith, Read an Honest Atheist
I just finished a book by British Philosopher, and atheist, Thomas Nagel called Mind & Cosmos. The reason I read it was because of the subtitle: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False. It's a short but very dense read by a...
God Exists! Who Knew! The Return of the God Hypothesis
For the last couple hundred years in Western culture Christianity has been on the defensive. The 20th century saw the full flowering of militant and confident secularist materialism to the point where our cultural elites see Christianity not just as wrong and backward...

The Doctrine of Creation is Critical to Keeping You, and Your Children, Christian: Part 3
In the second of the three posts about creation I argued that naturalism is the default view of reality in our post-Christian secular culture. Even for people who do believe in God, they live their lives functionally as Deists. Even if God is there, he's not terribly...
The Doctrine of Creation is Critical to Keeping You, and Your Children, Christian: Part 2
In my last post I argued that the doctrine of creation is central to the entire history of redemption. For the Hebrews in the ancient world what differentiated them from the Pagan nations was that their God was the creator of the universe, while Pagan gods were...
The Doctrine of Creation is Critical to Keeping You, and Your Children, Christian
Some years back I decided for the first time in a very long time to read the Bible through cover to cover (I suggest you do that too!). I was sort of surprised, although I shouldn't have been, by the centrality of the idea (or doctrine) of creation to the narrative of...

When In Doubt, Open Your Eyes
If you're like every human being on the face of the earth, you sometimes doubt what you think you know. It's part of what's known as the human condition, and being finite. We can only know so much. There is in fact much more that we don't know, way much more, than we...
When In Doubt: Is This All Really A Grand Cosmic Coincidence?
In my previous post I argued that secular Western culture often makes belief in God problematic. For those who go with the secular cultural flow, instead of continually challenging and fighting it, God can seem less than real, less plausible. This has nothing to do...
Nabeel Qureshi, RIP
Death is ugly. Jesus himself agreed, as we can surmise from his response to the death of his friend Lazarus. Standing before the tomb where his dead friend had been buried four days Scripture says, "Jesus wept." Why in the world would Jesus cry when in moments he was...

Darwinism: A Theory in Crisis?
Darwinists are fond of saying that evolution is a "fact." Maybe, but facts are not self-explanatory. Most people who believe in evolution as an undirected, material process of random mutation driven by natural selection, are sincere and think the "facts" compel us to...
Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!
Charlie Brown: Isn’t there anyone, who knows what Christmas is all about?! Linus: Sure Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about. Lights please? And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by...
Darwin’s Unbelief is News?
Over the years I've read a variety of things about Charles Darwin's faith and his so called struggle with it, as if he was truly ambivalent about it. The deeper he got into his theory of evolution, the story goes, the more his faith gave way to doubt and eventually to...
