Hugh Ross Interview
Monday, September 25th, 2006We had Dr. Hugh Ross come speak to our college-age group at Saddleback on Thursday … and I did a short interview with him. It’s pretty straight forward … some basic questions, some pretty technical ones. In case you haven’t heard of him Hugh Ross is an astrophysicist and an “old-earth creationist” (meaning […]
Wash Me Thoroughly From My Iniquity?
Thursday, September 7th, 2006Rituals that cleanse the body to purify the soul are at the core of religions worldwide. Now scientists find these ceremonies apparently have a psychological basis.

By using single cells plucked from human embryos, scientists have grown human embryonic stem cells, which can turn into any other kind of cell […]

I usually just judge people by whether they are ugly or not (okay not really) — but apparently generally people throw in a few […]
Risky Art of Squaring Science with Religion
Thursday, April 6th, 2006The LiveScience Blog has a post today titled “The Risky Art of Squaring Science with Religion.”
I think a better way to phrase that would be “The Risky Art of Squaring Naturalism with Religion” that is much more accurate. God transcends Nature; miracles violate Nature that’s what makes them miraculous. Squaring Religion with science […]
