Has Science Created Self-Aware Cyberslugs?

Has Science Created Self-Aware Cyberslugs?

Multimedia by ( April 10, 2018 )

Until now, self-awareness has been a uniquely human trait. However, scientists have recently created a “cyberslug” they claim is self-aware. Is this a challenge to the Christian worldview? Jeff Zweerink joins host Michelle Mendoza on Live From Seattle to discuss this new scientific development and how science once again points to a Creator.

Learning about Christian Creeds, Part 1

Have you ever recited the Apostles’ Creed? It is widely used in Western Christendom, both in the Roman Catholic Church and in various Protestant churches (Lutheran, Reformed, Presbyterian, Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, among others). In fact, most evangelical churches have creedal statements that serve as something like the Apostles’ Creed. Some nondenominational churches even sing the creed in their worship services.

Old-Earth Creationism on Trial

Publication by ( April 15, 2009 )

A wise pastor once counseled me to make sure I understand an opposing argument well enough to argue for it before I try to argue against it. This advice flows from Jesus’s command to “treat other people the same way you want them to treat you” (Matthew 7:12). My colleague Kenneth Samples describes how this “Golden Rule” should be applied to apologetics in the first of a seven part series. One of the ways I try to follow this advice in my work for Reasons To Believe (RTB) is to read the materials published by those with opinions different from mine. Hopefully, this allows me to accurately represent the “opposing” views when I write about them.

Revelation Versus Religion: Can Religious Pluralism Be True?

Blog by ( May 31, 2022 )

Why can’t all the world’s religions be true? The challenge of accepting the idea that all religions are true (religious pluralism) stems from the fact that the individual religions teach essential things that logically contradict one another. For example, their disagreement about the existence of God or gods is just one of many examples demonstrating […]

Planets in Triple Star Systems Affirm Design of the Solar System

Planets in Triple Star Systems Affirm Design of the Solar System

Publication by ( January 5, 2006 )

Planets found in a multiple-star system further illuminate the uniqueness of the solar system in supporting a planet like Earth. A “hot Jupiter” was found orbiting the primary component of a triple star system. Two scientists studying the possible formation mechanisms determined that the star/planet system likely formed in isolation and then joined the triple system during an encounter with an open star cluster. Instead of providing evidence that planetary systems capable of supporting life are common and easily formed, this system demonstrates the various processes that can disrupt many characteristics of life-supporting solar systems. Gathering data reveals the special environment surrounding the formation of Earth’s solar system.

A Recap of Unexpected Exoplanet Finds

Publication by ( May 22, 2014 )

As the list of known exoplanets continues to grow (almost 1,800 entries at present), the data indicate that most stars play host to planets—this means tens of billions of planets exist in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. And yet the incredible progress in exoplanets detection and the excitement generated by new finds often blurs an important point: most exoplanet systems bear little resemblance to our solar system.
