Water: Designed for Life, Part 2 (of 7)
Guest writers John Millam, Ken Klos, and Iain D. Sommerville continue their exploration of water with a look at how intermolecular forces influence water’s boiling and melting points. **** “Ocean, n. A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man—who has no gills.” Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary It’s easy to … Read more

Water: Designed for Life, Part 1 (of 7)
Throughout May and June, we will be presenting an article series from guest writers John Millam, Ken Klos, and Iain D. Sommerville on the amazing properties of water. In part 1, the authors discuss the nature of water’s solvation ability and its importance for sustaining life on Earth. **** Water is a simple triatomic molecule, … Read more

General Relativity: Well-Tested and Standing Strong
General relativity represents the best description known to humanity of how the universe behaves. It explicitly incorporates the idea of constant (in both space and time) physical laws. It also generically predicts a dynamic nature to spacetime such that space expands and the whole universe begins to exist. Such results comport well with biblical descriptions … Read more

Do ENCODE Skeptics Protest Too Much? Part 3 (of 3)
In light of the belief that the human genome is largely a genetic junkyard, the ENCODE Project’s phase two report that 80 percent of the human genome consists of functional DNA elements is an astounding announcement—and it is not without detractors. In part 1 of this series, I collated the criticisms published by ENCODE … Read more

Do ENCODE Skeptics Protest Too Much? Part 2 (of 3)
Several recently published scientific papers strongly critique the results of the ENCODE Project’s second phase—which reveal that at least 80 percent of the human genome is functional. In this installment of a three-part response to those critiques, I examine two of the most significant challenges: (1) The ENCODE project used a faulty definition of function; … Read more

Do ENCODE Skeptics Protest Too Much? Part 1 (of 3)
When the ENCODE Project reported that at least 80 percent of the human genome consists of functional sequences, they forced a radical revision of scientists’ understanding of human genetics. But recent scientific papers have called this conclusion into question. In this three-part series, I collate and describe the criticisms published by ENCODE “skeptics” and then … Read more

Does Evolution Explain Converging Ion Channels? Part 2
Recent studies of ion channels have dramatic implications for Christian apologetics. The fine-tuning, complexity, and convergence revealed in these remarkable structures support the superiority of intelligent design as an explanation for their origin. **** In part 1 of this series, I discussed how shared ion channels in potatoes and mammalian brains exemplify molecular convergence. Such … Read more

Does Evolution Explain Converging Ion Channels? Part 1
If evolutionary theory is true, scientists should not expect to see biological systems and features “repeated” in supposedly unrelated organisms—yet nature is replete with occurrences of such convergence. For example, recent studies of ion channels found similarities between mammalian brains and potatoes. These findings have dramatic implications. While they are surprising to anyone presuming naturalism, … Read more

Podcast Classic: Answering Global Warming Questions
Is global warming contrived? Are scientists and politicians acting in collusion to ensure a political agenda—one that is detrimental to the economic sovereignty of the United States? Are solutions that call for sacrifice and possible economic hardship necessary? What role does worldview play in the climate change debate? What does the Bible say or not … Read more

Climate Change and Society
Often, the most divisive climate change issues have more to do with climate policy rather than with the changing climate itself. This article attempts to address the question of how we can and should respond to this important environmental topic. **** The reality of global warming (or more broadly, climate change) and society’s response to … Read more
