Watching a YouTube video of world renowned atheists Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins, I could not help but to wonder if they were listening to what they were saying.1 Some of the things that they said certainly convinces me of the God of the Bible. At 21 minutes and 30 seconds into the video, Dawkins states: “I think it’s something we need to be proud of our species for; because our species, every species, is designed by natural selection to…..
In my daily Bible reading, something from Psalm 81 immediately struck me – “But no, my people wouldn’t listen. Israel did not want me around. So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas.”1 I immediately recognized this as humanism. People reject God, and live according to their own ideas. They call it “reason.” Humanists of course put a positive spin on this. The definition given on the American Humanist Association website is: “Humanism is a…..
I am not into watching fictional shows. But one night my son was watching The Flash and something caught my ear. The character Caitlin stated: “If Dr. Wells is who you say he is, everything I’ve done since the minute I’ve stepped foot in S.T.A.R. labs has been a lie.”1 This is true about human nature. People will not want to admit to themselves that they have invested themselves in something that is a lie. And that is a major…..
This past Wednesday, I attended the 4th Annual UTSA Religious Forum. On the panel, they had SGI Buddhists, a Catholic nun, an American Humanist, a Hillel (Jewish), and members of the Secularist Student Alliance – sponsoring the event. The organizers wanted diverse viewpoints. But when the topic of evolution come up – everyone agreed Darwinian evolution (molecules to man) was a “fact.” The organizers thought the Christian viewpoint was represented by the nun and did not see the importance of…..
Fox News recently aired the movie “Killing Reagan.” Of all of the “Killing” movies on Fox News, “Killing Reagan” is the one where the titled character was not actually killed. It is also the one event portrayal that I can actually remember. I was too young to remember the Kennedy assassination. At the end of the movie, Nancy Reagan pled with her husband to take advice from an astrologer with the belief he could avoid getting shot again. The president…..
Taking Tuesday off, I saw this show on the Science Channel called Strip the Cosmos. Suspecting what it would be, I watched some of it and sure enough I was right. The episode that I watched was called “Alien Worlds.” It was filled with philosophical materialism (the belief that matter and energy are all that exist) guised as science. They were explaining how life could exist elsewhere. The whole point of this is to show that life is something that…..
I do not know how many times I have heard “The Bible is not a science book!” Well, I must say for a book that is not a science book, the Bible has some pretty good science. As a Bible believer, there is one thing that I would agree with any scientist on, whether they are a scientist like John C. Sanford that believes in Biblical creation, or they are an ardent atheist like Richard Dawkins. Life on this planet…..
My wife wanted me to watch The Incredible Hulk with her. I am not one to watch fictional movies. But I did want to please my wife so I agreed to watch it with her. This led to her getting mad at me. At a certain point in the movie, when Bruce Banner “hulked out,” I told my wife to pause the movie. I am an engineer. So of course, as an engineer, I was compelled to explain to my…..
