With this interruption to our normal lives the coronavirus has caused, I think we need to ask ourselves: Is the coronavirus a bad thing? How should we respond to this? Should we be taking all of the measures that we are taking to prevent the spread of the disease and save lives? We know that the people who are most threatened by this illness are people with underlying health issues and the elderly.1 From my observation, that is like other…..
A recent Texas Public Radio’s The Source1 interview with Elizabeth Waltman, Chief Operating Officer of the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center and Dr. C. J. Winckler, deputy medical director of the San Antonio Fire Department, was filled with biblical truth; even though that was not necessarily their intention. I do not know what their spiritual beliefs are or what they think of the Bible. The Bible tells us: “And if any native Israelite or foreigner living among you eats…..
In December, 2017, in response to young earth biblical creation being called “Flintstones science,” I wrote an article called “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Science.”1 I made the point that the idea that genetic mutations can make life more advanced and more complex goes against everything we observe. What we actually observe is that genetic mutations are overwhelmingly negative; and over time cause a loss of genetic information, disease, suffering and death. If anyone questions this, all they need to do…..
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…..
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…..
Michael, I am sorry to hear about your cancer and I wish you well in fighting it. But I know that you do believe in God and you do believe things happen for a reason. I think there is a tremendous opportunity here for you to re-evaluate your views on some issues. On January 27, you had Martin Meredith, author of Born in Africa, on your show. You seemed very accepting of the idea that Australopithecus afarensis was our ancestor……
