GIS, GPS, and remo...

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Hugh Ross as they discuss discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence. Evolution is predicated on a sequence of chance events, with each outcome being largely random, yielding flawed, imperfect designs. This process is hardly one that a Creator would use to intentionally create and orc...

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astronomer David Block as they discuss discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.   What are Christians to make of cave art?
