Question of the Week: Atheists keep telling me that homochirality is not a problem for naturalistic models for life’s origin. How do you respond? My Answer: All living cells contain proteins, DNA, and RNA. Without proteins, DNA, and RNA physical life is not possible. Proteins are long chains of am...

Tweet from Sarah Salviander: Science is sometimes catching up to religion.

The late Robert Jastrow, a NASA scientist and agnostic, explains that sometimes this catching up is in realizing there is a hard boundary to knowledge of this universe. On this, science and Christianity are in agreement.

As I explained in an article posted last January (“More Evidence for Extreme Climate Stability“), comprehensive marine temperature proxy measurements have removed any doubt that global warming over the past 75 years is real (see figure).1 These measurements show that from 900–1900 AD global me...

This is a most read; I am going to post a good follow up (ABOVE)

Esto es algo que realmente vale la pena leer; además espero postear (ARRIBA) un artículo de seguimiento

Throughout Earth’s history climate instability has been the norm, especially since the launch of the ice age cycle 2.58 million years ago. With the exception of the past 9,500 years, the global mean temperature has jumped up and down by 10–12°C (18–22°F) on timescales of several millennia or...

When Hugh Ross debated Oxford University chemist Peter Atkins on Britain's Unbelievable Show (it's on Youtube), Hugh Ross was asked to name scientific discoveries that if proven beyond any shadow of doubt were true would cause him (or any normal logical believer) to abandon my Christian faith. Hugh Ross gave 3 examples: 1) the universe, the sum total of matter, energy, space, and time, does not have a beginning; 2) humans are not exceptional; 3) Jesus did not rise bodily from the dead. When it was his turn, Atkins stated there was no scientific evidence that would ever persuade him that God exists. The reason for the 3 examples Hugh Ross chose these examples is that scientific evidence for them establishes the truth of Christianity. In the Paradoxes class this Sunday 12:30 PM PT in Pritchard Hall, Christ Church Sierra Madre, 170 W Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra Madre, California Hugh Ross will start a series of messages on human exceptionalism. Anyone also can join & ask questions virtually at

334 years after Isaac Newton: The Stuart Kauffman Revolution
Einstein’s theory of relativity overturned Newtonian physics in the early 1900s. Nevertheless “Newtonian” thinking has remained firmly entrenched in science.
Certainly all scientists now agree that at the subatomic level and at near light speed, quantum physics overtakes Newtonian physics.
But this has had very little effect on biology, and has done nothing to overturn the “reductionist” view of science, which says that everything is merely the sum of its parts and all can be modeled by mathematics.
Stuart Kauffman and computer scientist Andrea Roli have written a new paper that proves evolving biology in principle cannot be reduced to computation.
This is as devastating to materialistic science as Gödel’s incompleteness Theorem was to mathematics.
In fact it is equivalent - because it shows that evolving organisms embody incompleteness.
Induction not deduction. And induction cannot come from deduction; therefore biology is not strictly computational.
Thus Kauffman and Roli have pulled the rug out from under ultra-traditional views of physics. (Not everyone is going to be happy about this.)
Here, Stuart and I improvise on the vast implications of this new, holistic view of the universe.

334 años después de Isaac Newton: La revolución de Stuart Kauffman La teoría de la relatividad de Einstein anuló la física newtoniana a principios de 1900. Sin embargo, el pensamiento "newtoniano" ha permanecido firmemente arraigado en la ciencia. Ciertamente, todos los científicos ahora están de acuerdo en que a nivel subatómico y a una velocidad cercana a la de la luz, la física cuántica supera a la física newtoniana. Pero esto ha tenido muy poco efecto en la biología, y no ha hecho nada para revertir la visión "reduccionista" de la ciencia, que dice que todo es simplemente la suma de sus partes y todo puede ser modelado por las matemáticas. Stuart Kauffman y la científica informática Andrea Roli han escrito un nuevo artículo que demuestra que la biología en evolución en principio no puede reducirse a la computación. Esto es tan devastador para la ciencia materialista como lo fue para las matemáticas el teorema de incompletitud de Gödel.
De hecho, es equivalente, porque muestra que los organismos en evolución encarnan lo incompleto. Inducción no deducción. Y la inducción no puede venir de la deducción; Por lo tanto, la biología no es estrictamente computacional. Así, Kauffman y Roli han sacado la alfombra de los puntos de vista ultratradicionales de la física. (No todo el mundo va a estar contento con esto.) Aquí, Stuart y yo improvisamos sobre las vastas implicaciones de esta nueva visión holística del universo.

Nunca hemos estado más seguros de que Dios persigue a sus hijos todos los dias para extenderles gracia para ser trasformados y misericordia para ser canal de amor esperanza y justicia en esta tierra suya

I have always wondered about the point of inception of the differente species and seems to me are the evolutionary implications of such gaps. Likewise the tiome gaps between the extintion and exit of species and the apperence of the next one

Suggest an atheist website that expounds on the third wave out of London’s royal academy od science https://www.thethirdwayofevolution.com/ and also from a Christian perspective of people like Perry Marshall Evolution 2.0 - it’s the idea of randomness that is at the heart of rethinking evolution by both Christians and none Christians

Why we need a third way to explain the process of evolution and why neither Neo-Darwinism nor creation explains evolution well enough. Discuss new theories of evolution incorporating emerging ideas such as epigenetics and a resurgence of Lamarckism.

Again science is walking along side the quest for understanding of our past

Too tired need to read this tomorrow

As I write this article, we are entering the winter months in Southern California. I know, I know. For anyone who has ever lived in the Midwest, winter in Southern California is an oxymoron. As the joke goes:Q: How is the weather in Southern California like pizza?A: Even when it’s bad, it is st.....

We live in a world that values tolerance and religious pluralism. Because of this widespread attitude, perhaps it’s not surprising that one of the questions I’m most often asked by non-Christian academics relates to the identity of the Designer.
