Did the Universe Have a Beginning?

BACK TO THE BEGINNING Scientific discoveries revive the ancient belief in a beginning to the universe. If we could rewind the history of the universe, what would we discover about its origin and development? Did it really have a beginning, or was it always there? The influential ancient philosopher Aristotle stated, “It is impossible that […]

Is a Designer Revealed in Creation?

IMAGINE THE DESIGNER The  universe not only implies the existence of a designer but suggests something about what he might be like.

Is the Universe a Product of Design or Chance?

OPTIONS FOR ORIGINS The choices in accounting for our universe boil down to three: Chance, multiple universes, or design.

Was Darwin Right About the Eye?

THE PROBLEM WITH HALF AN EYE Looking down at Greenland from 32,000 feet on my trip from Rome to Seattle, I heard a strange noise in the aircraft that sent my blood pressure soaring into hyperspace.

Does DNA Point to a Designer?

THE LANGUAGE OF OUR CELLS Was the language of DNA programmed by a designer–or by chance? Consider for a moment the cathedral-like structure of a snowflake under a microscope. Look at the beauty. Look at the complexity. Look at the originality of each individual flake. Surely this is evidence for a grand designer in the […]

Where are Darwin’s Predicted Fossils?

THE CASE OF THE MISSING LINKS The discovery of DNA has revolutionized the world of forensic evidence. Cold case files have been reopened.

Are Humans the Result of Evolution?

THE HUMAN ENIGMA Scientific evidence indicates human beings are a unique species that is far superior to any species existing today or in the past.

Accident or Intelligent Design?

Science and the Origin of Life The debate over human origins has intensified, hitting the mainstream media like a tsunami. The debate is really about God, and whether or not our origins are explainable without him. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins are attempting to prove that science and belief in God are incompatible. Their premise […]
