Philosophy

Is the famous residence of Charles Darwin a science museum or a shrine that propagates a secular, godless worldview?

Do we need to know how miracles happen to know if they happen?

Many believers in nature’s capacity for evolutionary innovation think the sky’s the limit—yet their allegedly ‘naturalistic science’ writings betray a faith in the abilities of ‘Nature’ that borders on paganism.

Rev Dr Joe Boot, Founder of the Ezra Institute, delivers powerful message about Genesis and the authority of Scripture at a CMI fundraising dinner.

Does faith mean "believing in something even though it is not supported by evidence?" Yes, and no, depending on who you ask.

Understanding the difference between what opposing theories predict helps to discriminate between them and thus avoid useless arguments.

Many people think that the biblical flood of Noah was abandoned because of the evidence. However, history tells a different story. Modern geological thought owes much to a man named Charles Lyell. Lyell, a lawyer, published a book in 1830 called Principles of Geology. Described as a "masterpiece of persuasion", it changed the way people thought about earth's past. According to Lyell, we should only appeal to today's geological processes to explain earth history. However, this approach meant that the global flood recorded in the Bible was automatically ruled out of consideration. Lyell wanted, he wrote, "to free the science [of geology] from Moses". Regrettably, many people have uncritically adopted Lyell's philosophy, without considering how Noah’s flood can help us understand earth history. Lyell changed the way many people think, but his approach was motivated by his anti-biblical philosophy, not an objective study of the evidence. Indeed, it is very difficult to explain earth's history without Noah's Flood.

Christians will quote Scripture as plainly written to justify belief in the events leading up to the crucifixion and the resurrection. However, in regarding the creation account, there is a much greater tendency to give authority to extra-biblical ideas rather than going strictly with the text. This episode uses Genesis chapters 1-11 as a case study for biblical authority.

When scientists—particularly physicists—look at the universe and rule out the Creator, it inevitably leads them down a dark path to confusion.

A naturalistic view of origins must explain the existence of coded information within living things arising from a ‘no mind’ process, but all of our scientific observations deny that possibility.

What is agnosticism? And how can Christians respond to it?

Richard Dawkins says a rabbit fossil in the Precambrian would be evidence against evolution, but would that really be the case?

Answers to questions on Gods existence, evolution, dinosaurs, carbon dating, Noahs Flood, UFOs and aliens, and why Jesus died.

Deep-time compromise has had a negative effect on the Christian church despite claims to the contrary.

What does history say?

The simplest of things can teach us profound lessons. Do snowmen and their creators demonstrate actual, or merely apparent, design?
