Seeking Proof Finding Grace

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...

This week we take a look at what the term evolution really means.  What is the difference between micro and macro evolution.  Don’t forget that God loves you!   “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 billions of years ago, but we have yet to disc...

Before we start the journey from lifelessness to us, it warrants asking the question: Does your worldview work with all that we've seen?  Rather than leaning on luck, perhaps the time has come to give God a chance to win your heart!

This week we look at the true meaning of Christmas.  Here’s a hint…God’s great love for you!!   John 3:16 NKJV “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”    Ephesians 1:3-4,7,10 NKJV “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly...

On today’s podcast we wrap up the journey of so many months going from the beginning point of the universe to our little blue planet.  The fingerprint of intelligence come into view clearly as we look at all 44 of these factors that have stacked one on top of another to help make our little planet so friendly to life.   The major parts of our journey and the deal breakers: 1.      The initial cond...

This week we finally reach Earth to see if there are any special things about Earth that make it well suited for life that seem to be more than just “lucky”.  Perhaps we are starting to see more clearly the fingerprint of God coming into view.   “The near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra – the light most useful to life and sight – are a razor-thin sliver of the universe’s natural, e...

Our search this week takes us to the many overlapping zones that come into play when we look at all of the competing Habitable Zones for life to exist on Earth.  It sure looks like the fingerprint of intelligent design taking hold showing us the care and attention of a loving Creator. Here are the zones: 1.The Liquid Water Zone 2.The Tidal Locking Zone 3.Ultraviolet Zone 4.Photosynthesis Zone 5.Oz...

This week we take a look at yet another amazing cooincidence in how friendly to life our sun happens to be.  Is it possible that our life friendly sun could instead be the product of an intelligent designer?  God loves you!!

This week we celebrate Moms and the incredible sacrifices they make for their children and their families.  As we do so we are reminded of God's great love for us and the sacrifice he made for us all! Thank you Moms!!

As we continue to keep score of how our little blue planet came to be, we look at one of the most unlikely events to ever happen.  Did the crash of two planets create the life friendly planet we have today and the moon that helps us in so many ways?  A crash?  Really?  Or could it be the hand of a loving Creator?  Lets get to it!

This week we continue the journey from the formation of the universe to this little blue planet of ours as we look at the formation of the solar system and face Isaac Newton’s dilemma.  Here again we see God’s hand. “Though these bodies may, indeed, persevere in their orbits by the mere laws of gravity, yet they could by no means have at first derived the regular position of the orbits themselves...

God loves you!  That is the single most important truth in the Universe.  This week we look at God's purpose, God's plan, the atonement and the resurrection.  God's love for you changed the world forever in the miracle of the resurrection!

This week we move from the big bang to the Milky Way Galaxy as we continue our journey to Earth.  Spoiler alert: the fingerprint of intelligence is starting to become visible again!  God’s love for us shows through.   “Size, age, type, and metallicity all conspire to drastically reduce the number of galaxies capable of harboring not only life but even terrestrial planets.  Our Milky Way is among t...

This week we start moving forward looking at the number of steps it will take to get us from the Big Bang to our little blue planet.  Along the way we may see God’s third miracle in our journey from nothing to us.  God’s fingerprint shows helps point us to His great love for us!   “Even with so much still to discover and learn about the way the world is and how it came to be this way, an abundance...

This week we get a bit closer to the answer in our journey of the question of whether or not we were created or if the universe is just the product of chance as we look at a few of those next steps after the Big Bang with the creation of stars and galaxies.  Don’t forget how much God loves you!   Discovery Channel, Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking: The Story of Everything, 2011   “In the fir...
