Was the universe designed and created or was it a cosmic accident, a product of time and chance? The debate has raged for millennia with increasing sophistication in models, data, and arguments, particularly since The Enlightenment period. The West is currently captivated by naturalistic explanations with nearly all scientific funding and investigation aimed exclusively and myopically at material causes. But beneath the naturalistic paradigm lies a deeper paradox—that not onl

Modern Western civilization largely believes that all that exists is matter and its movements (energy), otherwise known as the physical world . Those who adhere to this view of reality are known as materialists , and while this view certainly gained prominence after The Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries, it is not at all a modern idea to the West, but rather, it dates back to at least the 5th century BC with Greek philosophers such as Leucippus and Democritus. But

There seems to be some confusion about what exactly a theory is in science, and it typically resurfaces in discussions regarding culturally sacrosanct theories like evolution. I've seen and heard countless exchanges where someone states that evolution is only a theory, which inevitably elicits the response that a theory is much more akin to a fact than a possibility or a hypothesis . I've seen conversations where people point to internet memes like the one below to mock anyon

Our modern society has pushed sexual boundaries and bent definitions so far, that it has come full circle and is undermining its own foundation. Though most modern gender identity advocates and activists don't realize it, their arguments now present them with an uncomfortable dilemma which strays far beyond the realm of science and into those of philosophy and theology. Ironically, to make sense of these entangled concepts, the advocates are forcing us to evaluate their claim

A civilization engulfed by materialism will consequently be enraptured by humanism and hedonism and will eventually end in catastrophism. Derived from a Greek word meaning pleasure, the ancient philosophy of Hedonism is the theory that the satisfaction of desire is the highest good and aim of human life. This philosophy has permeated Western civilization to such a pervasive degree that even the Church has succumbed to its influence, devising man-centered theologies such as th

Since psychology was established as a scientific field in the late 19th century, the Church has increasingly deferred to its authority. Today, about two-thirds of churches offer no lay counselling services, instead referring believers to professional psychotherapists and in many churches and ministries, staff are actively discouraged from counselling unless they have the proper training, degrees, or credentials. But this very recent shift in orthopraxy begs some rather import

Scripture is usually quite explicit in defining sin and God's character is consistent and His word never changes, so why is it that there are some issues which appear a bit fuzzy? The rub is in the fact that God is not the only being in the universe who defines sin—mankind does as well. This is where issues of conscience come into play, and though the issues themselves appear blurry, the way scripture instructs us to handle them is crystal clear. The Origins of the Conscience

From Geocentric models to Heliocentric and from Steady State cosmology to the Big Bang theory, man has proposed many ideas of what the universe looks like. Of course all of them have problems. In fact the current popular model, the Big Bang Theory, has so many problems that its credibility has been in question for quite some time. But not only does scripture paint a very different picture of what our world and the universe around us looks like, but also how they formed, and
