Science versus Religion?

Gene Callahan points us to a man who is clearly not a scientific thinker, at least according to the criteria deployed by today’s rhetorical guardians of reason and knowledge. According to Wikipedia, this man used the Bible to make predictions about future events. He spent a great deal of time studying the dimensions and other […]

Intelligent Design Is a Scientific Theory, So Long as God Isn’t Invoked

A recent news item in the Huffington Post caught my attention: Scientists in the U.K. have examined a tiny metal circular object, and are suggesting it might be a micro-organism deliberately sent by extraterrestrials to create life on Earth. … The University of Buckingham reports that the minuscule metal globe was discovered by astrobiologist Milton […]

The Separation of Coherence and State

I’ve been watching a lot of Ravi Zacharias lately. If you’ve never heard him, try giving him a chance. He is very educated and of course his voice is transfixing.

Scientists and Theism

I was talking to someone about the topic of scientists believing in God, and I went to look up the stats. I was fairly surprised by what I found. This was one of the top hits I got, an article in the LA Times talking about a Pew survey done in 2009. Some interesting excerpts, with bold […]
