Molecular Machines: Experimental Support for the Design Inference by Michael J. Behe A Series of Eyes How do we see? In the 19th century the anatomy of the eye was known in great detail and the sophisticated mechanisms it employs to deliver an accurate picture of the outside world astounded everyone who was familiar with […]
THE MIRACLE OF CREATION In this book, we will principally consider the miracles performed by Jesus Christ during his approximately three year ministry on the earth. We will ask questions about the evidence that these miracles actually happened. We will make the effort to consider what is implied on a physical, scientific level […]
Christianity Today, April 2005 Thinking Straighter Why the world’s most famous atheist now believes in God. by James A. Beverley | posted 04/08/2005 09:00 a.m. Antony Flew, one of the world’s leading philosophers, has changed his mind about God. And he has agnostics worried. Some are mystified and others are angry. Typical of many responses […]
How Old is the Earth? How old is the earth? That is a good question. Although I could provide my best estimate based on the scientific evidence, I can honestly say I do not know. One thing which can be said with confidence (as will be shown in this chapter) is that the earth appears […]
EVIDENCE FOR DESIGN IN NATURE The wonders of nature shout out to all those willing to hear that there is a wonderful and powerful creator of it all. Anyone willing to take the time to look and to listen can see evidence for God all around them. Anyone, that is, who is willing […]
Checkable Biblical Accuracy In each of the following cases, the Biblical writer had an opportunity to either state the widely held erroneous belief of his day, or to state a factually true description. In each case what was stated was true, demonstrating knowledge beyond the writer’s ability and thus necessarily from God. FACT AS STATED […]
A PRECAUTIONARY TALE ABOUT MISQUOTING SCIENTISTS Charles Darwin wrote, To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd […]

How do we know that Christianity is the right religion to be…Because there are other religions that have a Bible and different gods…. So how do we know Christianity is right? This is an excellent question. I think that Christians often do not take the time to ask this obvious question. This can leave us […]
1. A woman I have been talking with mentioned, in reference to the claim that Jesus never traveled more than 200miles from where he was born, that there are texts that dispute this claim. She seemed to imply that these texts contained some scandalous reports but I didn’t press the subject since I knew I […]

Of all the questions I have received at this web site, this is the first one I am going to have to say I do not know the answer. You ask a very good question which is very difficult to know how to answer. Because you ask the question, I assume you already see the […]
We do not know when the flood happened, but presumably it was at least several thousand years ago. I can only assume that human beings evolved the different “racial” characteristics over the past several thousand years. In a gene pool with a fairly broad genetic diversity, the physical characteristics which lead to the greatest survival […]
I have been studying many of your articles. They make one think. Therefore questions come up. In reading Genesis it appears that the earth was formed before God said “Let there be light.” Genesis 1:3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over […]
You have rephrased my questions. Although it seems to be the same to ask “how much is 2 plus 2?” or “what is the result of the sum of the numeral 2 to another numeral 2?”, the approach taken to respond tends to required further analysis than just a simple response. Your response to my […]
I cannot understand why there is the perception of God as a distant being, external to us. A ruler with a human personality and weaknesses, like a puppet master who seems to be not more than a magical-religious being, created by human mind to justify our existence and everything that surround us, instead of preferring […]
I’m doing a brief study on the foundation of Christianity for our Bible study group and have been browsing your website. Am I correct in that in accordance with Jewish burial customs Jesus’ body would have been wrapped similar to that of an Egyptian mummy? If so would that not be further evidence against the […]
I have encountered a “theology” on creation (Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2) that the Bible gives us a hint where Dinosaurs thrived here on earth. Yes, science claims that they really lived millions of years ago. A “teacher” taught that in between these verses, there is a very long time span. Verse 1 states that […]
I’ve had heard many people claim that the Apostles would not have let themselves be put to death for a lie, and this should be taken into consideration when studying the evidence for Jesus, but what evidence outside of the scriptures do we have that the Apostles were actually put to death? I respect your […]
1) The natural amino acids are L and D, and in proteins are only L. So in any hypothetical primordial soup, surely there would have been an equal proportion of both. The problem for the materialist is to answer how did the first proteins become just L amino acids (since racemic proteins can’t exist). If […]
I have already answered a couple of very similar question. Let me make a single statement and refer you to the questions and answers provided below. When God created the universe, he also created time. God exists outside of time, and therefore the question “What did God do before he created the universe?” does not […]
How celibacy became common and why it became required are two very different things. In the third and fourth centuries it became common in primitive Christianity for men to choose asceticism as a way of expressing their devotion to God. Asceticism is a general term to describe the philosophy that one becomes close to God […]
In Gen 16:10-12 and 17:20 God promised that He would make descendant of Ishmael to be too numerous to count and that they would be a great nation. Was it already part of God’s plan to make the Islam religion to be the second biggest religion believe by people in the world? Referring to Gen […]
I have been asked a lot of questions over the years, but believe it or not, no one has ever asked me this question! Without context, I am not sure exactly what question you are asking. I would assume you are asking one of the following two questions: 1) What is the philosophical/theological definition of […]
Yes, this is essentially correct. The Bible describes the peoples who came to be known as the Arabs as having been descended from Ishmael. As Muhammad, the founder and chief prophet of Islam is Arab, he would be a direct descendent of Ishmael. This is why historians of religion would claim that Judaism, Christianity and […]
This is one of those unanswerable questions. I myself struggled over this question at earlier points in my life. Philosophers have certainly struggled with this question as well. Although I cannot give a totally satisfactory answer to your question, God himself provided a hint of an answer in Exodus 3:13,14. When Moses asked God what […]
This is an excellent question. I believe I have already answered it pretty thoroughly, so I refer you to one of the articles already at this web site, “The Ultimate Miracle.” This article goes into great detail describing all the alternative explanations of the evidence about what happened to Jesus, showing that the only even […]
I was walking to Sainsbury’s with a Muslim friend and we stumbled upon the conversation of religion, through a discussion of Israel and recent events, My friend has aroused some very good questions and I have realized that I know little about Islam and other religions. She said that the Bible was changed to suit […]
Emperor Constantine of Rome was the first to write a law of worship on Sunday. Why do so many religions go to church on Sunday when God’s day of worship is the Sabbath day?(Isaiah 66. 22-23.) It may be true that Constantine wrote some sort of Sunday worship law. To be honest, I am not […]
Was the Holy Spirit already in existence during the Old Testament or only after the New Testament? What was Holy Spirit doing in the beginning? The Holy Spirit, being God, existed before the creation of the world. He was not created, but has always existed, just like the Father and the Son. As proof of […]
I have a question about your website article on the NT canon. You said that the Muratorian Fragment is the earliest list of NT letters, but that it did not contain Hebrews, James or 1 John. Since Origen was also skeptical about these, should we be? Is there any proof to believe that these are […]
