creationism

A new paper poses one of the strongest challenges yet to the idea that all life shares common chemistry.

For example, among the attempts to explain the Big Bang and account for our shockingly life-friendly cosmos were complicated ideas with fancy names such as vacuum fluctuation, cyclic contraction and expansion, the anthropic principle, string theory, and the multiverse. However, as philosopher of science Stephen Meyer argues, each of these explanations comes with significant baggage. In his book, The Return of the God Hypothesis, Meyer shows how these theories either require prior mathematical fine-tuning, or involve serious category errors, or else undermine the reliability of science.

A well-known astronomer posits in a new Scientific American article that aliens could be what existed before the big bang.

A new faith-based nature documentary called The Riot and the Dance aims to show the audience God's handiwork in the world around us.

A new paper published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Theoretical Biology makes a strong case for the need for intelligent design and casts a shadow of doubt on the theory of evolution.

Dr. Jonathan Sarfati, a well-known scientist and creationist, is endorsing the COVID-19 vaccine, calling it a part of God's "divine blessing." He is also arguing that the vaccine is safer than the coronavirus.

In the free movie Foundations, the lead character Parker gets three different runs through life: Once as an evolutionist, once as a theistic evolutionist, and once as a biblical creationist.

Jane Goodall recently won the 2021 Templeton Prize. The prize honors those who "harness the power of the sciences to explore the deepest questions of the universe and humankind’s place and purpose within it." Goodall is a longtime supporter of the Great Apes Personhood project, which seeks to confer human rights on primates. For all Goodall's talk of "intelligence," "purpose," and a "spark of divine energy" in living things, she seems to miss the utterly unique place of human beings in creation.

Three key twentieth-century discoveries, argues Cambridge-educated philosopher of science Stephen Meyer, challenge materialist assumptions and point, not just to an intelligent designer, but to a transcendent God.

How difficult is it to produce a living cell from scratch? A while back, Shane Morris asked synthetic-organic chemist James Tour this very question. Dr. Tour replied that anyone who claims we’re close to building a cell, even in the most ideal of circumstances, “has no idea what they’re talking about.” The bottom line? The origin of life and of the information that makes it possible remain the most significant challenge to a naturalistic worldview. The only plausible explanation for how these incredible systems came into being is intelligent design.
