Which Theory of Evolution? Toppling the Idol of 'Settled Science'

Which Theory of Evolution? Toppling the Idol of 'Settled Science'

In 1973, evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote that “nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution.” Almost 50 years later, an increasing number of scientists are asking whether evolution makes any sense in light of what we now know from biology.

Stop Trying to Be What You Want Others to See and Ask Jesus to Make You Like Himself

Stop Trying to Be What You Want Others to See and Ask Jesus to Make You Like Himself

The good news is that the God who made us and thus knows us better than we know ourselves can remake us as his “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17). So, to be your best self today, stop trying to be what you want others to see and ask Jesus to make you like himself (Romans 8:29) by transfusing your character with the “fruit” of his Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

Christian Creativity: Truth and Beauty Together

Christian Creativity: Truth and Beauty Together

I’ve always loved this line from poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning: “Earth’s crammed with heaven, / And every common bush afire with God; / But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, / The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.”

<em>Our Universe</em> and My Father's World: When Nature Documentaries Want to Thank Someone

Our universe, even as Our Universe portrays it, compels worship, leaving us with the sense that we need to, as singer-songwriter Andrew Peterson put it, “thank someone.” Yet, in this series, created glory is acknowledged and celebrated with gorgeous animation, wildlife cinematography, and musical score, all without giving glory to the Creator behind it.

Earth Crammed with Heaven: God's Glorious Works

Earth Crammed with Heaven: God's Glorious Works

There’s more to the world around us than its material stuff. Much more. Meaning, revelation, and mind are behind everything we see because it was all made by God for His glory. There are no “ordinary things”—certainly not in the sense that materialists imagine.

It's the Little Things That Mean so Much

It's the Little Things That Mean so Much

If you have difficulty understanding this great love that God has for you, turn to Isaiah 55:8-9, where we are reminded that our thought processes and God’s are not the same. His are far superior to ours, and we can trust in His knowledge, goodness, and plan for our lives. In the eternal scheme of God’s plans, it would be easy to assume that we don’t matter, but we do. God’s thoughts and ways are not like our thoughts and ways—the great and small matter equally to God.

Why Even Evolutionists Are Questioning Evolution

Why Even Evolutionists Are Questioning Evolution

According to a recent article in The Guardian, the theory of evolution may be in trouble. For the first time in a long time, scientists are bucking the so-called “Neo-Darwinian synthesis,” which has dominated the sciences since the early 20th century.
