Irritating
“Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind” ~Albert Einstein It was 1916 and Albert Einstein didn’t like where his calculations were leading him. If his theory of General Relativity was true, it meant that the universe was not eternal but had a beginning. Einstein’s calculations indeed were revealing a definite beginning to all time, all matter, and all space. This flew in the face of his belief that the universe was static and … Read entire article »
Intelligent Being Required
(or Johnny and the Garbage part two). Naturalistic biologists assert that life generated spontaneously from non living chemicals by natural laws without any intelligent intervention. Such a theory might have seemed plausible to a nineteenth-century scientist who didn’t have the technology to investigate the cell and discover its amazing complexity. DNA has a helical structure that looks like a twisted ladder. The sides of the ladder are formed by alternating deoxyribose and phosphate molecules, and the rungs … Read entire article »

Johnny and the Garbage
Sixteen year old Johnny came down from his bedroom and stumbled into the kitchen to get a bowl of his favorite cereal-Alpha Bits. When he got to the table, he was surprised to see that the cereal box was knocked over, and the Alpha Bit letters spelled “TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE-MOM” on the place mat. Recalling a recent high school biology lesson, Johnny didn’t attribute the message to his mom. After all, he’d just been taught … Read entire article »

Look to the Heavens
After spending the weekend at the beach, looking at the heavens in the vast sky, and looking to the infinite sands of the beach, and knowing out to sea there was a tremendous force of nature (Hurricane Bill) not too far away, reminded me of God and infinity… The Bible tells us to “look to the heavens” if we want to get an idea of what God is like…David wrote in Psalm 19, “The heavens alone … Read entire article »

Existence of God
Along with my reading, I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be An Athiest, Neil points his readers to this site which I found to be excellent, GotQuestions.org? It’s a site that has 184,094 Bible Questions Answered! I went to the question: “Is there an argument for the existence of God?” I had to look at former atheist Lee Strobel’s quote: “Essentially, I realized that to stay an atheist, I would have to believe that nothing produces everything; non-life produces life; randomness … Read entire article »

Divine Design
“Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from faith. If you Really study science, it will bring you closer to God.” ~James Tour, Nanoscientist Still reading “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Athiest”…. The astronomical evidence for God must be strong when atheistic physicists admit that “the universe exploded out of nothingness,” and the agnostic astronomers claim that “supernatural forces” were so at work in the beginning that scientists are led back to “a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” But the scientific evidence for God does not end with the Cosmological Argument. For many, the PRECISION with which the universe exploded into being provides even more persuasive evidence for the existence of God. This evidence, technically known as the Teleological … Read entire article »

The Universe Came to Be
“Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.” -Albert Einstein Still reading I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist. The book in its third chapter gives some scientific proof of a beginning in time. (too much to go into here, but I do recommend the book). Later in the chapter, though, it gives a philosophical line of evidence. Although I don’t quite grasp it, I found it interesting. But first, a little mention of … Read entire article »

Not Enough Faith
to be an Atheist? In yet ANOTHER early birthday present, Enric and Miranda gave me a book by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek, “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist” Great Title! Excerpt of the Preface: “Should you disbelieve what an atheist writes about Christianity just because he’s an athiest? Not necessarily, because he could be telling the truth. Should you disblieve what a Christian writes about atheism just because he’s a Christian? Again, not necesarily-he too could be telling the truth. But what about the an author’s agenda? Does an agenda fatally taint his objectivity? If so, no book is objective, including those by atheists and skeptics. Why? Because ALL books are written for a reason, all authors have an agenda , and all (or at least most) authors believe what … Read entire article »
