Creation Implications of a Fifth Force of Physics Blog by Hugh Ross ( January 23, 2023 ) Physicists have established that four fundamental forces of physics appear to govern all the observed operations within the universe. These four forces—gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force—appear to be exquisitely fine-tuned to make human existence possible. If these four forces indeed explain all the operations that have occurred in the […] Physics & Mathematics
World Religions: The Buddha and the Christ Blog by Kenneth Samples ( April 7, 2015 ) Among the world’s great religious leaders, only two had such a profound impact that contemporaries inquired as to the very nature of their being.1 People wondered whether Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) and Jesus of Nazareth (the Christ) were more than mere human beings. While both are known as great teachers and profound souls, the identity, mission, and message of these two men couldn’t be more different. Worldviews
Living on the Edge Blog by Hugh Ross ( January 14, 2019 ) During our mountaineering trips I am always the cautious one, carefully charting the safest routes to our destinations. Not so much my wife. Whenever we get to the edge of a chasm, she loves to dangle her legs over the cliff’s edge and gaze for several minutes at the vista. Design
Harvard Scientists Write the Book on Intelligent Design—in DNA Publication by Fazale “Fuz” Rana ( September 9, 2017 ) One of the most provocative arguments for intelligent design focuses on the recognition that DNA is an information-based system. Yet skeptics argue that biochemical information is not genuine information.
Clearly the Days in Genesis 1 are 24-hour days. How can you say they are longer? Question by Reasons to Believe ( October 6, 2020 ) An abundance of biblical evidence (not just science) indicates that the days in Genesis 1 are something other than 24-hour periods. Early commentators agree.
Pressure’s On: Accounting for Earth’s Habitability Publication by Jeff Zweerink ( September 1, 2009 ) Here’s an SAT question for you: Carbon dioxide is to global warming as atmospheric pressure is to ___________. Answer: global warming. While carbon dioxide grabs today’s headlines, atmospheric pressure levels in Earth’s history likely played a critical role in whether the planet would ultimately be suitable for large-bodied animals (including humans).

Responding to the Nonempirical Case for Atheism Publication by Hugh Ross ( April 7, 2016 ) Today, the physical and historical evidence for the existence of the God of the Bible is so extensive and compelling that unbelieving skeptics are increasingly resorting to nonempirical arguments to defend their unbelief. That is, they appeal to what we do not yet know or cannot possibly know about the universe and insist that some exotic science might one day allow us to conceive of life existing apart from God.

Journey from the Center of a Young Earth, Part 2: Faith and Reason Blog by Guest Writer ( May 24, 2019 ) In my previous article, I argued that God as the Creator of reality is responsible for the basic components of our common existence. Our interactions with reality lead us to know the nature of truth. Also, as a necessary component, God has given us reason in order to govern and safeguard our acquisition of knowledge. As such, reason is a vital tool in understanding God’s Word and works. Creation Views
Using Globular Clusters to Measure Galactic Distances Publication by Hugh Ross ( March 8, 2006 ) A team of astronomers has developed a new technique to measure intergalactic distance, providing a new tool to test RTB’s cosmic creation model. Globular clusters typically contain hundreds of thousands of stars—making them visible in distant galaxies. Because of their brightness, astronomers can measure the half-light radius (the radius containing half the light from the cluster) for each cluster. After accounting for differences in the galaxy environments containing the globular clusters, the team demonstrated that the average half-light radius for all clusters in a galaxy provides a standard ruler for distance estimation to the galaxy. Astronomers can now use this new tool to test scientific models of how the universe formed and developed, including RTB’s cosmic creation model. Creation Views
