Evidence for God from Science

You and your wife are in my prayers. While I have never felt the need to be part of a church, I do understand that camaraderie and sense of belonging that being part of a church can give one. God is Our Church. All believers are the body and church of Christ. In any group there are good and bad, nee...

No snow at all in my area.

Merry Christmas my friends and God Bless all of you.
May His light shine upon you all and He fill you all, and your loved ones, with His grace and love

The information is there, coded into the data. The coding is the same as in a FM radio where FM stands for frequency modulation. The brilliance of the star is modulated as a sinusoidal wave of brilliance variance and also by the number of photons. There is information in the data. If you have an ob...

DB, let's discuss the example Cepheid variables. They are a class of stars with the nice property that their diameter and luminosity varies with time, 1-50 day period, and the period length is directly proportional to the mean luminosity. This makes them an important tool for measuring distances. I...

Add to that the reading of Genesis 1 and then 2 naturally leads one to see TWO distinct "creation" events. I have come to the view that Genesis 1 is about the creation of life on earth in GENERAL and that Genesis 2 is about the SPECIFIC creation of ( what would become)the lineage of Israel...

Talk about living in the shadow of an older sibling.

Well, the law already has that AND the law SHOULD be involved in any abusive relationship.

One can argue that ANY act that is immoral ( including abuse of one that we have sworn to protect), can be just cause for divorce.

It took me years (actually decades) to finally wrap my brain around this... But it is really quite amazing to see how Special Revelation and General Revelation complement each other when you take the Biblical sequence of events in Genesis 1 and 2 at face value. 1. In Genesis 1:26-27 God created man...

There are TWO views of evolution VIA natural "selection". One is the "adaptive" view in which, a random mutation causes a change that allows an organism to adapt to a change in the environment, ex: Mutation causes wolf fur to grow thicker, wolf adapts to colder climate. Mutation ...

Paul and Philip, random mutations give no information. It is random mutations + natural selection that do the job. You should know. Same as everyday trial and error. Trial is more and less random. Error is the feed back, a selection mechanism. Nils What drives natural selection? how does "natu...

Science is about discovering HOW things work, not why but how.
Science is also NEVER settled, it is always "self-correcting".

The limits of science are:
Observation
Replication
Falsification
