Answering Theological Questions on Neanderthal-Human Interbreeding Blog by Fazale “Fuz” Rana ( August 12, 2020 ) When I was a teenager in the 1970s, songs by the Moody Blues were a staple on the playlists of most FM rock stations. This group helped pioneer the progressive and art rock genres in the 1960s. Truth be told, they don’t make my list of all-time favorite rock bands, but some of their single releases are among my favorite rock tunes. One of my favorite songs is “Question.” This track appeared on their 1970 album A Question of Balance. The song expresses the frustration that young people felt in the 1960s and 1970s about the conflict in Vietnam, asking profound and difficult questions, but never getting answers.

Probing the Cosmic Creation Event with the Star S0-2 Blog by Hugh Ross ( April 2, 2018 ) Throughout the past five decades, our scientific confidence in a hot big bang cosmic creation event that is perfectly consistent with what the Bible for more than two thousand years has taught about the origin and history of the universe1, has become progressively greater. Two scientific advances that could deliver even greater certainty in the biblically predicted hot big bang creation model would be a much more accurate measure of the distance to the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and an even more definitive test of Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

New Brain Study Spoils Evolutionary Drama Publication by Fazale “Fuz” Rana ( March 1, 2010 ) A few years ago, I attended a rather provocative production of Shakespeare’s Othello at a nearby college. Although the performers stuck to the original script, they wore modern military garb. A few months later I saw Othello performed in London at the Globe Theater. It was a “bucket list” experience for me and as close as anyone could come to viewing Othello as first presented to audiences in England. Human Origins & Anthropology
Highly Fine-Tuned Reverse Weathering Stabilized Earth’s Early Climate Blog by Hugh Ross ( September 10, 2018 ) It bothers my wife Kathy that I can be sitting in front of a computer and not even notice that the room temperature has dropped or risen by more than ten degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike me, Kathy is extremely sensitive to temperature changes. A temperature change in our home or in one of our offices as small as a half degree is enough for her to declare that she is too cold or too warm. Her temperature sensitivity is even better than any of our thermostats. Design
Chordate Fossils Foil Theory Publication by Fazale “Fuz” Rana ( October 1, 2001 ) China’s rich cache of fossils provides paleontologists with a window to the time in Earth’s history when complex animal life first appeared. As scientists peer through this window, they see a scene that defies naturalistic explanation. Evolution

Do God’s Desires Imply He Lacks Something? Publication by Hugh Ross ( July 23, 2021 ) Question of the week: Does God desire? If God desires, wouldn’t this imply that God lacks something, for to desire is to be bereft of that which is desired? My answer: God is a personal Being who experiences emotions. Emotions are a crucial part of any loving relationship. As 1 John 4:8 declares, God is […] Theology
AMP 2016: Wisdom in Evangelism Publication by Guest Writer ( November 1, 2015 ) Every so often the Lord moves in ways that make my jaw drop in amazement. When I was appointed as project leader for AMP Conference 2015, I did not expect it to be more than an average event—but it turned out to be the biggest event Reasons to Believe had hosted in more than 10 years.
