Seeking Proof Finding Grace

This week we begin Part 1 of wrapping up our journey from nothing to how we reached where we find ourselves today.  On this episode we will talk about making one of the most important judgements you will ever make.  How do we recognize the hand of intelligence verses the natural processes of time, matter and chance? To the listener: I made a terrible Casablanca error while recording.  I said Rick...

Neo-Darwinian evolution hits a catch 22 when trying explain which came first: the unlikely evolution of complex traits, functions and systems that most life seems to share verses the evolution of all the diverse species that share these traits, functions and systems.  Or is an intelligent Creator (that loves you) that created them both the answer with the best explanatory power?

This week we look at the “Infinite Monkey Theorem” and whether naturalism’s overreliance on luck can actually explain how we got here.  Don’t ever forget as we see the fingerprint of a Creator how much He loves you!  “The [anthropic-design argument] and what it points to is of such an order of certainty that in any other sphere of science, it would be regarded as settled.  To insist otherwise is l...

This week we take a look at another deal breaker for evolution: the reproductive system.  Is natural selection or an Intelligent Designer the best explanation for the complex process that creates us?  God loves you!!

This week we look at the problem of irreducible complexity and the complex systems that make up our bodies that natural selection has no answer for.  What is the best explanation for the existence of these systems?  Could it be an intelligent designer who loves you?   In his book, Darwin’s Black Box , he really opens up problems with Darwin’s theory at the cellular level.  Dr. Behe puts it this wa...

Can random mutation and natural selection best explain the assembly of complex working parts into a machine designed to accomplish a specific function, or is an intelligent Creator the best explanation for the irreducibly complex parts that make up so much of us?     “The simplest organ which can be called an eye consists of an optic nerve, surrounded by pigment-cells and covered by translucent sk...

Can natural selection explain a complex machine like the semicircular canals that control our balance or in our experience is an intelligent designer a much more likely explanation.   God loves you and designed you with the care and attention of a loving Heavenly Father!   “The balance is controlled by something called the semicircular canals in your ear, and these are 3 different tubes basically...

This week we see whether or not random mutation can save the theory of natural selection, or is an intelligent Creator (who loves you) a far better answer?   “The simplest organ which can be called an eye consists of an optic nerve, surrounded by pigment-cells and covered by translucent skin, but without any lens or other refractive body.”  Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, 1859

Darwin’s Eye Problem: Podcast 70 This week we look at some problematic conclusions Darwin reaches when looking at his theory. Can his unguided process start the journey up Mount Improbable, or do we need the guiding hand of intelligence? “The abrupt manner in which whole groups of species suddenly appear in certain formations, has been urged by several paleontologists…as a fatal objection to the b...

This week we look at the spark that would have been needed to animate some miraculously preassembled building blocks into a living cell.  What is the best explanation for an event like that?  Don’t forget, God loves you so much He gave everything for you!

This week we take a look at how the complex traits that life displays could have begun their development.  Was it evolution, or was it a Creator that loves us?  Which is the most likely answer?   “In Climbing Mount Improbable , I expressed the point in a parable.  One side of a mountain is a sheer cliff, impossible to climb, but on the other side is a gentile slope to the summit.  On the summit si...

We find ourselves with life suddenly, and very unlikely, having arrived on the scene.  But now we have to ask ourselves where things are going?  This week we start to lay out the very complex journey that lies ahead.  Can natural selection do it without the guiding hand of a Creator (a Creator who loves you)… “Nevertheless, it may be that the origin of life is not the only major gap in the evoluti...

This week I address a long comment submitted by a viewer in Episode 63: The Lies of Evolution.   “First, why, if species have descended from other species by fine graduations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?” Charles Darwin, The Origin of the Species,1859 “I believe that species...

This week I address a long comment submitted by a viewer in Episode 63: The Lies of Evolution.  My contention is that evolution, as a theory, is taught to us on several pillars, nearly all of which, are full of holes if not completely disproven.  I think by answering the viewers comment we might expand on this important issue and perhaps convince all of us to dig a litter deeper and not just accep...

This week we continue to look at the scientifically disproven examples that supposedly support Darwin’s theory that continue to be sold to us in textbooks and in popular culture today.  Could it be that an intelligent creator who loves us is a far better explanation? Resources: Lee Strobel, The Case for a Creator, 2004 Stephen Meyer, The Return of the God Hypothesis, 2021 Hugh Ross, Improbable Pla...

This week we ask the question, why is it that we can recognize the hand of intelligence when we look at an assembly line of complex machines that make potato chips, but we just take for granted that the microscopic machines, the cells, that make up us somehow came into being by random chance?  Once again the fingerprint of a Creator who loves us keeps coming into greater clarity as we look at the...

This week we look at Charles Darwin’s tree of life and shockingly find out that what it purports to show of what the fossil record should look like is not remotely what the fossil record actually looks like.  It turns out that the Cambrian Explosion pretty much wiped out Darwin’s tree.  From here you can see the fingerprint of life and God’s love for us.   Resources: Lee Strobel, The Case for a Cr...

This week we take one of the most difficult parts of our journey; the leap from lifelessness to life.  Could there really be that much luck in the universe or is this the hand of intelligence at work?   “Life is one of the strangest phenomena known.  In my opinion it shows that the universe is capable of almost anything.  Yet it amazes me that we know so much about how the universe began many bill...

So let’s talk about what is next…   God loves you.  Enjoy and grow the relationship with your Heavenly Father.  You have been adopted into His family.  You are a child of the One True King!!  Welcome to the family!!!!! You don't have to earn God's love.  He can't love you more than He already does and He will never love you less!   1.     Forgiven is forever – let’s talk about the f...

This week we celebrate the resurrection!!  This week we look at proof of the resurrection, the ultimate proof of how much God loves you!!!   1st Cor 15, “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delive...

How much does God love you?  This week we talk about God’ plan to bring us back to Him.  Spoiler Alert: He loves you so much He gave everything for you!!   “I have described atonement, the central doctrine of Christianity, as vicious, sado-masochistic and repellent.  We should also dismiss it as barking mad, but for its ubiquitous familiarity which has dulled our objectivity.  If God wanted to for...

This week getting ready for Easter, we look at Pascal’s Wager and the growing weight of scientific evidence pointing to the existence of a Creator as the best explanation for how we got here.  Consider for a moment the possibility that you are the most valuable thing in the entire universe and God created all of this for you!

This week we see the clear fingerprint of design when we look at the most complex programming ever discovered; you!  God loves us so much, he wrote the code!   “DNA is like a computer program, but far, far more advanced than any software we’ve ever created.”  Bill Gates, The Road Ahead, 1996, Boulder   “What is it about these two patterns that indicates the activity of an intelligence, whereas oth...

This week we see whether or not Richard Dawkins successfully makes the case in Climbing Mount Improbable for how complex biological life could have formed.  Spoiler alert…not really.  You are God’s greatest creation!!   “In Climbing Mount Improbable , I expressed the point in a parable.  One side of a mountain is a sheer cliff, impossible to climb, but on the other side is a gentile slope to the s...

This week we look at how evolution is sold to us using a narrative that doesn't always match reality as we get ready to start the journey from lifelessness to life.  “So far as I can understand, his chief occupation in life was knocking his wife about…I have never happened to come upon the evidence for the idea; and I do not know on what primitive diaries or prehistoric divorce reports it is...
