Seeking Proof Finding Grace

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...

On this week’s episode we prepare to pick back up after the creation of the universe and the fine tuning of the universe with a look at whether or not the Copernican Principle holds water.  Spoiler alert!  God’s love is stronger and a better explanation of how we got here.   “In its modest form, the Copernican Principle states that we should assume that there’s nothing special or exceptional about...

We wrap up our Christmas story study for the month of December this week looking at a last few objections and conspiracy theories related to the Christmas story.  Please don’t let any of this stand in the way of finding God’s great love for you!!   Luke 2, “And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first too...

You are the most valuable thing in the entire universe.  Because God loves you so much He gave the greatest Christmas gift of all 2,000 years ago, His Son Jesus. New King James translation of the Bible, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1982 Ephesians 1 and Luke chapter 2 “But supposing God became a man – suppose our human nature which can suffer and die was amalgamated with God’s nature in one person – t...

This week we look at the two different narratives of the Christmas story and find out that they compliment each other quite well.  In the end, the Christmas story is all about how much God loves you!   Bauckham, R. (2017). Jesus and the Eyewitnesses. Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.   New King James translation of the Bible, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1982 Luke chapters 1-2 and Matt...

This week we take a look at some of the more outlandish Christmas conspiracy theories that have gained followers on the internet.  Once we get through all the noise, we can get that much closer to the truth: God loves you!   “The works of our Savior were always present, for they were true: those who were healed, those who rose from the dead, those who were not only seen in the act of being healed...

In a slight change of plans for the month of December, we are going to spend the next month looking at God’s great love for us through the Christmas story.  This week we will look at what makes the Christmas story and Christianity so different from anything else.   “It might be suggested, in a somewhat violent image, that nothing had happened in that fold or crack in the great grey hills except th...

God loves you so much.  This podcast we just pause the journey for a moment for all of us to say thanks!   Psalm 136, “1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!  For His mercy endures forever…4 To Him who alone does great wonders, for His mercy endures forever; 5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, for His mercy endures forever…”   Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th...

On this episode we wrap up our journey and determine the best answer for how the universe could be so finely tuned for life.  God’s intimate plan for you is on display.  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 like insisting that Shakespeare...

This week we look at a practical example of a finely tuned event from a Discover Channel show featuring Stephen Hawking, and perhaps expand on it just a bit.  Don't ever forget God's great love for you! Discovery Channel, Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking: The Story of Everything, 2011

This week we take a look to see if the multiverse can save naturalism from the impossible mathematical problem posed by fine tuning in the universe.  Fine tuning is another fingerprint of a Creator who loves you!   Problems with the multiverse: 1.      Where did the universal generator come from 2.      Fine tuning of the universal generator to get around fine tuning? 3.      Energy to feed the un...

On this episode we look at the scope of the problem that Fine Tuning poses to naturalistic theory.  Do we see the Creator’s fingerprint clearly showing?  Don’t forget God loves you!   Gonzales, G., & Richards, J. W. (2004). The Privileged Planet. Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing   “Beginning in the 1960’s, physicists unveiled a universe apparently fine- tuned for the possibility of human lif...
