62.5% Still Say God Created The Universe!

There is nothing like something controversial for selling books, especially on science and origins. The promotion of Stephen Hawking’s book, The Grand Design, was given higher than usual profile with reviewers and reporters reporting that Hawking had reversed his original view that God might be responsible for the creation of the universe. He now says physics [...]

The BBC report from China says, “the notion that newfound faith can inspire a workforce to increased levels of productivity is being taken seriously not only by Christian businessmen, but by China’s Communist - and [...]

Stephen Hawking Says There Is No God

Well, that’s more or less the way the secular press reported on Hawking’s new book, The Grand Design. There are at least two questions I find myself asking from the reports, as we simple non-scientific lay-folk tend to do. The first arises from the idea that the cosmos could have come into being through the [...]

Why God’s Law Is Good News - by Carolyn Arends

What possible connections can there be between my comments on Per Bolling’s book on Romans, 350 foreign criminals winning their right to stay in the UK on the basis of their human rights, and an article written by Carolyn Arends  in Christianity Today on why “God’s Law Is Good News“?

Luther’s Decade Commemorations

Reading Bolling’s book on Romans  reminds me of how reading Romans did change one man, and how that altered the religious and political landscape of Europe. I am reading Bolling’s book on Romans with re-reading Roland Bainton’s biography of Martin Luther. I have posted a longer comment on Luther  in another setting.

The Greek Crisis, The E.U. And The Bible?

When I read about, US Forces Vandalize Babylon, it was about the same time as the reporting on the Greek crisis and conjectures on the possible break-up (or the break-down?) of the Eurozone. “The Euro as we know it is dead,” said The Telegraph. “Nightmare vision for Europe as EU chief warns ‘democracy could disappear’ [...]

Christopher Hitchens On Jesus: Is Jesus God?

“Two thousand years have passed since Jesus walked on the earth, and men still wrestle with the same question Jesus asked his disciples at Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 16:13-16). It’s the question every person must answer sooner or later:

Did Dinosaurs Co-exist With Humans?

“Author Darek Isaacs doesn’t need Steven Spielberg to imagine this scenario for him, however. In the book Dragons or Dinosaurs: Creation or Evolution (Bridge-Logos, 2010), Isaacs studies in great detail (with loads of photos; you can even purchase an accompanying DVD) everything from cave paintings that look a heck of a lot like dinosaurs to [...]
