Evidence for God from Science

I think it's a load of bull. That said I have absolutely no problem with the notion of ET life existing out there somewhere. The Bible is silent on the matter, after all. I wonder what the effect on many believer would be if the dug up some fossilised single cell organisms? I suspect that quite a fe...

You should change to firefox instead. It's a much more elegant and versatile browser, IMO. All those delightful extensions

Welcome, Screwtape You need to look back at the Levitical laws concerning the sacrafices, the yearly atonement of sin and the such. The Day of Atonement was something done annually, and was only a temporary covering of ones sin. If you look at some of the minor prophets, even the psalmists you can ...

I've often heard the resurrection reduced to rather simplistic terms for the purpose of dismissing it. This argument generally goes along the lines of something like: the resurrection is nothing more than God sacrificing himself to himself in order to adhere to his own rules . Can anybody think of a...

Good article, Rich.

One question, though. How would the theory of the muliverse or a universe that is ever created and destroyed fit in with you article. It seems to me that the atheist could easily argue from either of these two positions and effectively invalidate your argument.

Hi folks, First time poster here. I'm wondering what Christians think of memetics/ memetic theory in relation to faith, specifically Christian faith. On my internet travels, memetics is often quoted by people as an explanation for religion and the continuance of it to this day. Ultimately, I've ofte...
