Imago Dei: A Divine Reflection Multimedia by Hugh Ross ( March 12, 2018 ) Imago Dei— or the “image of God”—is not a new thought, but many Christians are unclear as to what it really is. What does it mean to be made in God’s image? What are some of the characteristics? Are humans unique in bearing this “divine reflection”? In this Truth Matters interview, host Tony Gurule talks with Kenneth Samples about this ancient understanding and how it impacts the Christian worldview.

It’s Okay to Be an “Exclusivist” Blog by Guest Writer ( July 9, 2018 ) A few years ago I attended the graduation of my stepdaughter at Seattle University, a highly respected Catholic institution. During her studies she had developed a love for philosophy and friendship with her philosophy professors, one of whom was a professed Buddhist. At a post-graduation function, I had an opportunity to chat with him and asked how he felt about a recent speech by Pope Benedict, one in which the pope sought to reach out to Muslim leaders. I was impressed by the speech and wondered what his reaction might be Worldviews
Do the Laws of Thermodynamics Resonate with Biblical Truth? Blog by Guest Writer ( December 28, 2023 ) The Bible states that God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). This biblical declaration is consistent with observations of the expanding universe (from nothing) first recognized by Edwin Hubble in 1929. Scientists have also discovered that the universe operates according to unchanging physical laws. If the universe was created by God, then resonance […] Physics & Mathematics
TNRTB Classic: A Well-Ordered Challenge to Biological Evolution Publication by Fazale “Fuz” Rana ( November 16, 2012 ) A few days ago I wrote about research results obtained by French scientists that run counter to a key prediction of the evolutionary paradigm: namely that gene synteny should reflect evolutionary relationships by decreasing as the evolutionary relatedness of organisms diminishes.

Making Evangelical Churches More Inviting to Christian Intellectuals Blog by Kenneth Samples ( June 20, 2017 ) There is a growing crisis in evangelical churches today. However, most evangelicals are unaware of the nature of the emergency or of its looming repercussions. The problem is that many intellectually oriented Christian adults increasingly feel out of place in evangelical churches. Education
General Relativity: Well-Tested and Standing Strong Publication by Jeff Zweerink ( May 16, 2013 ) General relativity represents the best description known to humanity of how the universe behaves. It explicitly incorporates the idea of constant (in both space and time) physical laws. It also generically predicts a dynamic nature to spacetime such that space expands and the whole universe begins to exist. Physics & Mathematics
The Perils of Space Travel Blog by Jeff Zweerink ( February 15, 2019 ) If only space travel were as easy as depicted in Star Wars or Star Trek! Traveling a few thousand times the speed of light onboard the Enterprise or a hundred times faster by jumping to lightspeed enables these fictional ships to traverse stellar distances in fractions of a day. Unfortunately, the real world poses much greater constraints. Even cruising at one-tenth the speed of light (well beyond our current or imaginary technology), the trip to star system Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighbor, would take nearly 45 years. Some of the latest research reveals the damage even a few months in space causes to the human body. By contrast, Earth’s environment seems ideally suited for humans. Extraterrestrials & UFOs
Past CMB Temperature Confirms Creation Publication by Guest Writer ( May 3, 2006 ) Astronomers have found evidence in a distant gas cloud that supports a supernatural origin of the universe. Observations of light from distant objects give astronomers pictures of the universe when it was much younger. This light interacts with gas clouds as it travels through space toward Earth. Detailed analysis of how the clouds absorb light reveals information about the cloud’s properties. A team of astronomers detected a distant gas cloud absorbing light from a more distant quasar. The carbon in the gas cloud exhibited a much higher state of excitation (rapid movement) than expected. However, the molecules’ rapid movement could be explained if the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature was 14.2 K (Kelvin). The temperature today is 2.7 K. This temperature matches predictions from RTB’s cosmic creation model, in which the universe started in a hot state and cooled off as it expanded. Astronomy
