Despite what you may hear on line, there are no “serious contradictions” in the Christmas story.  This is one of the weakest arguments against Christianity that you see on line and this week we finish looking at the Christmas story in detail.   References: New King James Bible, 1982   Luke 2: 1-24; 39-40 Matthew 2: 1-23   A Charlie Brown Christmas, Charles Shultz, Bill Melendez, 1965

Despite what you may hear on-line, there are no "serious contradictions" in the Christmas story.  This is one of the weakest arguments against Christianity that you see on-line and this week and next week we will look at the Christmas story in detail.   References: New King James Bible, 1982  Luke 1: 26-38 Matthew 1: 18-25 Isaiah 7: 10-14  Starting with Mom… Luke 1, “26 Now in the sixth...

This week we look at Christmas, when God laid down His place in heaven and gave everything to offer you the chance to become His child for all eternity.  He loves you that much!!   “Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed.  That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity.  It is a religion you could not have guessed.  If it offered us just the kind of universe we had al...

This week we start what will likely be a four part series looking at how the best explanation of our consciousness is an intelligent Creator.

This week we celebrate Thanksgiving.  Thank you for joining us and don’t ever forget the most important truth in the entire universe, God loves you!!   Lyrics from The Truth, Megan Woods, 2025:   I know who I am  'Cause I know who You are  And I hold Your truth inside of my heart…   The truth is I am my Father's child  I make Him proud and I make Him smile  I was made in the image of a p...

This week we look at another naturalistic theory on how life might have originated.  And no, panspermia is not a better answer for how life got here.  Don’t run from the idea of a Creator who loved you so much He gave everything for you!     “Nevertheless, it may be that the origin of life is not the only major gap in the evolutionary story that is bridged by sheer luck, anthropically justified. ...

This week we finish our journey from nothing to how we reached where we find ourselves today.  In this episode we look at how a Creator is the best explanation of how we went from lifelessness to the abundant, diverse life that we see all around us.  How do we recognize the hand of intelligence verses the natural processes of time, matter and chance?   “Once the initial stroke of luck has been gra...

This week we take our second step of wrapping up our journey from nothing to how we reached where we find ourselves today.  In this episode we look at how a Creator is the best explanation of how we went from nothing to our little blue planet Earth floating in space.  How do we recognize the hand of intelligence verses the natural processes of time, matter and chance?

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...
