Climate change is a far more contentious issue than it should be, especially in the evangelical Christian community. I understand why. Talk of climate change has been a centerpiece of left-wing politics and neopagan environmentalism for decades. And its obviousness to the average observer is often overstated; if you’re like most people, you probably haven’t noticed a major change in […]
“The more I examine the universe, and the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the Universe in some sense must have known we were coming.“ – Physicist Freeman Dyson “A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology.” – Astronomer Fred Hoyle As modern […]

At its core, the idea is pretty simple: Religion, particularly Christianity, has suppressed and kept humanity in darkness about the scientific world, and science has enlightened us to the realities of it. Religion is blamed for things like suppressing Galileo, a belief in […]
Theology is an amazing thing. Even though we Christians study a book that hasn’t changed in 2,000 years, and a God who has never changed, the big questions we ask about him often do.
