Origin of Life	Mon, Jun 11, 2007	Search for Reservoirs of the Building Blocks of Life	Hugh Ross	The origin-of-life research community for nearly 50 years has been engaged in the fruitless pursuit of finding realistic natural pathways to assemble amino acids into proteins. Such a pursuit is irrelevant, however, if no concentrated reservoirs of amino acids exist. The new research study confirms that lack of such naturally occurring reservoirs.
Origin of Life	Mon, Aug 6, 2007	Natural Sugar Synthesis?	Hugh Ross	Any remaining hope for finding a natural source of five-carbon sugars, at least at an abundance level that would have some significance for the origin of life, is even more firmly dashed than it was before.

Philosophy	Fri, Jul 24, 2009	Response to Michael Shermer, Part 1 (of 3)	Miguel Endara	Shermer asserts that all arguments for the existence of God resort to “God of the Gaps” and since “Science” will eventually close all the gaps, God does not exist. But Shermer's methodological naturalism begs the question: It assumes to be true what needs to be proved.
Philosophy	Fri, Jul 31, 2009	Response to Michael Shermer, Part 2 (of 3)	Miguel Endara	Shermer's insistence that science is limited to only empirical casual explanations is at odds with the instrumentalist view of many philosophers of science. That view would allow “God” as an explanation that gives intelligibility and meaning to the world.
Philosophy	Fri, Aug 7, 2009	Response to Michael Shermer, Part 3 (of 3)	Miguel Endara	Shermer embraces Hume's dictum on non-existence of miracles. But he falls into circular reasoning and begs the question. Shermer's unskeptical faith in methodological naturalism is a result of a presuppositional belief.

Physics	Wed, Jul 22, 2009	Where'd the Antimatter Go? Fine-Tuning of Tiny Particles Shows Design, Part 1 (of 2)	Jeff Zweerink	The excess of matter over anti-matter in the early universe can be explained by CP-symmetry violation. However, theory cannot explain the Fine-Tuning needed to produce enough matter for life in the universe.
Physics	Wed, Jul 29, 2009	Where'd the Antimatter Go? Fine-Tuning of Tiny Particles Shows Design, Part 2 (of 2)	Jeff Zweerink	The Fine-Tuning of the CP-symmetry violation that lead to a mass dominated universe can be explained by assuming the mass distribution among the six quarks. But the fin-tuning seems to have been moved to the perfect calibration of the quark masses.

Solar System	Fri, Jan 15, 10	Further Comments on Comets	Dave Rogstad	YE creationists use the short life times of comets to support their view. However, astronomers point to the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud plus a replacement mechanism. New research shows that kilometer size bodies exist in the Kuiper belt that could supply new comets.
Solar System	Mon, Feb 16, 2009	Solar System's Extraordinary Birth Environment	Hugh Ross	An extraordinary feature of the solar system is that it contains all elements essential for advanced life. The elements must come from a variety of sources. New research reveals that a faint supernova supplied short-lived radionuclides with an eruption at perfect timing and distance.
Solar System	Mon, Aug 3, 2009	How Unlikely Is Our Planetary System?	Hugh Ross	Astronomers studied the eccentricities of extrasolar planets. None have the right combination mass, distance and eccentricity to be life-sustaining. Also, simulations show that planet-planet scattering would likely not result in our unique solar system. http://arxiv.org/abs/0905.3741
Solar System	Mon, Aug 31, 2009	Debris Disks and Planets Show Solar System Design	Hugh Ross	Recent study found there is no guarantee that the planetesimals will coalesce to form planets of any notable size that will remain in stable orbits about their stars. (Fine-Tuning)
Solar System	Mon, Sep 21, 2009	Volcanism and Plate Tectonics on Earthlike Planets	Hugh Ross	New research used models to explore the dependence of convection-driven decompression mantle melting on planet mass. They found four requirements for fine-tuning in order for a planet to be able to support advanced life for billions of years. http://arxiv.org/abs/0809.2305
Solar System	Mon, Jan 4, 10	Outward Migration of Gas Giant Planets	Hugh Ross	The mechanism for inward migration of gas giants is known. Now it has been found that mean motion resonance is a mechanism that can cause outward migration of gas giants, forcing them 50-100 AU from their host star. This is more evidence of design in our Solar System.
Solar System	Wed, Oct 8, 2008	Chronology of Early Solar System Events	Jeff Zweerink	Condrite meterites give evidence that supernovae seeded the solar nebula with radioactive elements at just the right time during planet formation.
Solar System	Wed, Oct 15, 2008	Youngest Solar System Detected	Jeff Zweerink	Models of planet formation predict gaps in disk of gas cloud around proto-star as planet forms. Scientists have detected such gaps for the first time.
Solar System	Wed, Nov 19, 2008	Violent Solar System Birth	Jeff Zweerink	A new computer model shows that a supernova probably triggered the formation of our solar system while seeding it with heavy elements necessary for life and tectonic activity. This occurred after at least 1 or 2 star generations provided adequate carbon and oxygen. That life arose as soon as the universe could support it fits well with the idea of a universe created for a purpose: life.
Solar System	Wed, May 13, 2009	Signatures of Migrating Planets	Jeff Zweerink	Researchers have studied the distribution of asteroids to see how orbits of the gas giant planets have changed. A recent study found that the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn migrated 4 BYA, causing the Late Heavy Bombardment and therefore limiting impacts on Earth in later times.
Solar System	Wed, Sep 2, 2009	Tool To Potentially Measure The Oort Cloud	Jeff Zweerink	New research indicates that detection of the Oort cloud may lie just around the corner. Rather than looking for reflected sunlight, the new method searches for gamma rays.
Solar System	Wed, Oct 14, 2009	Why Dusty Stars Make Good Planets	Jeff Zweerink	New research explains how metals enhance “slipstreams” of dust that lead to planet formation. The study supports the RTB model of Earth forming just as soon as possibly allowed by the laws of physics.
Solar System	Wed, Oct 28, 2009	Bombardment Makes Civilization Possible	Jeff Zweerink	Osmium and iridium are essential to our technological civilization. Yet they would not have remained in the Earth's crust had it not been for the Late Heavy Bombardment.
Solar System	Wed, Nov 25, 2009	Planet Formation Requires Metals	Jeff Zweerink	Research shows that the universe needed to be over nine billion years old before a planet like ours could form. It took that long for sufficient metals to created and then dispersed by dying stars.
Solar System	Wed, Jan 13, 10	Testing Assumptions Confirm the Antiquity of Solar System	Jeff Zweerink	There are two assumptions of radioactive dating using uranium isotopes for determining the age of the Solar System. The “constant-uranium-isotope-fraction” assumption was found to be in error by a few percent. This error only changed the age estimate by a few million years, out of 4.5 billion years.

Theology	Fri, Aug 17, 2007	Intellectual Repentance, Pt. 3 (of 6)	Dave Rogstad	Signs and wonders usually are not convincing, but it is the internal workings of the Holy Spirit that convinces us.
Theology	Fri, Aug 24, 2007	Intellectual Repentance, Pt. 4 (of 6)	Dave Rogstad	Humans can study and make meaningful progress in many areas of knowledge, but when the studies focus on our inner selves, our motives, and our relationships to others and to God, then things begin to fall apart.
Theology	Fri, Aug 31, 2007	Intellectual Repentance, Pt. 5 (of 6)	Dave Rogstad	We can never really know God in a deep and personal way unless He gives us His Spirit, but promises to impart his spirit to those who believe in him.

Theology	Tue, May 19, 2009	All You Need is [His] Love, Part 2 (of 2)	Ken Samples	It is possible to appreciate the Beatles' musical and lyrical abilities without accepting their convoluted philosophical and religious ideas, much as many Christians appreciate Mozart and Wagner. They were searching for answers to life's big questions. Those answers come from the One in whom it can be said that all we need is his love.
Theology	Tue, May 26, 2009	Reaching the Nonbeliever, Part 1 (of 2)	Ken Samples	The Gospel is not a commodity and Christians should be wary of using contemporary marketing techniques.

Theology	Tue, Jun 2, 2009	Reaching the Nonbeliever, Part 2 (of 2)	Ken Samples	A “seeker-sensitive” church model might neglect the spiritual growth of the churches members. Christian evangelism may be at its most effective when it comes from people who have become authentic disciples.

Theology	Tue, Dec 29, 2009	Life to Death or Death to Life	Ken Samples	Honest reflection about death can help a person live a healthier more focused life. The Christian paradox is that death is the necessary doorway to experience genuine life eternal.
