Why are athiests not convinced by irreducible complexity?

Intelligent Design scientists have been proving over and over that the nuts and bolts of evolution just cannot work.  Even Darwin gave a way for anyone to disprove his theory.  He said that if there was found a system in biology that could be shown that it could not come about by slow and gradual changes then his theory would be disproven.  The microscopic organism known as flagellum has 32 components to it’s rotating tail and if it is missing anyone one of those pieces it would not work.  Case closed right?  Well, not for many hardcore evolutionists, but why?

Is evolution a scientific fact?

This is certainly a hot debate.  There are highly credentialed scientists on both sides of this fence.  Is there really any evidence against the theory of evolution?  Is there any physical evidence that shows it to be wrong?  I hope I can help answer this question. Continue Reading…

How is “Gabriel’s Revelation” significant to Christianity?

Recently there was an ancient tablet discovered that dates to the late first century B.C.  It is a supposed message given by Gabriel to what is believed to be the followers of a Jewish rebel named Simon.  Possibly the same Simon that Josephus mentions in his Antiquities.  Some have claimed it to disprove the uniqueness of Christianity and show it was common to make this assumption on people at that time[1].  Does it really mean that?  And if not, what significance does it have on Christianity as a whole?

The God Delusion Debate

I first purchased this debate because I wanted to know how well Richard Dawkins could stand against scrutiny. It is one thing to write a book, it is another to defend it against another well educated opponent. The God Delusion sparked many to believe that science has made God obsolete. Professor Dawkins seems to be leading this crusade, but how well did his claims stand up against the likes of John Lennox? Continue Reading…

What is the day of Pentecost?

Most Christians know that the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples on this day and they began speaking other languages. The denomination of Pentecostal is widely known for its charismatic services. However, if you ask most people they do not know what the day of Pentecost actually is about. So for all those who wish to know, I’ll lay it out as best I can. Continue Reading…

Can one become Christian based on logic and reasoning?

This question is one that I derived from many atheists. Though most of the times they simply state that one cannot become a Christian based on logic and reasoning, I believe there is a flip side to that coin. I have had the privilege of speaking with many who have mimiced this saying to me. I hope that it was more of a question in disguise. If so I believe I have a rather good response to it. Continue Reading…

Has Religion caused most of the wars?

Is this not the thing that religious opponents throw at Christians? The Crusades being the single most used war to prove the evil that comes from Christianity. John Lennon wrote a song about it and is probably the biggest supporter of this ideal. But what is the reality? Continue Reading…

Why do Creationists not believe in Evolution?

Some may think Creationists are just religious nut jobs. Others may think they have simply chosen to believe the bible over science. Along the same lines many believe the religious have held back scientific advancement. I’ll try to peal back some of the misconceptions about Evolution, Science and Creationism in this article.

How do we know the Bible is accurate?

I received this question for the site and I wanted to address it differently than I already have. One honestly does not have to do too much research to find the answer. Though I have done more than my fair share in this area, I’ll keep this discussion as brief and as too the point as possible. So how can we know the Bible is accurate? Continue Reading…

Did Jesus study with Buddhist Preists?

I’ve heard this claim before and many still believe it. It mainly shows how much people are willing to believe simply because they want to think they have the “real” story. Continue Reading…
