When I posted GOD TALK 7 on September 5th, I unknowingly stepped on a hornet. A person identifying himself as being with Clubschadenfreude commented on my post. I responded briefly, but upon further reflection I decided to answer the criticisms more fully. First, what is Clubschadenfreude? I honestly do not know. The German word schadenfreude […]
At times it appears that some members of the scientific community, allied with the humanists, wish to destroy religious faith. They demean our cherished religious beliefs and traditions as being concocted from a miasmic fabric of ancient myths and medieval superstitions. They believe this world is all there is, and we should make the most […]
In previous posts I discussed the wonders of our universe and the equally fascinating mysteries of the sub-microscopic world. It appears that every day brilliant scientists discover more information about the intricacies of God’s creation. One fact that astounds me is that many of these scientists seem to believe that all of these wonders came […]
God is not only the creator of the universe, with its billions upon billions of massive stars, he is also the creator of the small and the infinitely small. Earth teems with life of all kinds, land creatures, sea creatures, and birds of many species. It is also well to consider the multitude of microscopic […]
For years cosmologists believe that the universe had existed eternally in more or less the same state. There was no beginning, and the physical world had always been and would always continue to be. Some scientists actually feared the thought of a finite beginning of the universe because of its possible religious implications. But that […]
Another argument for God’s existence comes from our almost universal agreement on something we call moral or natural law. It appears that every human society believes that there are certain rules that should govern our conduct; and there is a remarkable degree of consistency in these rules from society to society, even in pagan societies. […]
Shakespeare put the following words into the mouth of Macbeth. “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creep in this petty place from day to day, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.” What a sad outlook on life. We certainly cannot classify Macbeth as an optimist. Macbeth’s lament is the statement […]
Over the next week or so I am going to present some arguments, or apologia, in support of faith in God – in particular, the Christian faith. As I do this, I make no claim to original ideas. There is very little new under the sun, and I have borrowed from the writings of Augustine, […]
Perhaps I posted these thoughts before. I’m not certain about that. My memory becomes a bit fuzzy at times. Anyway, it does no harm to repeat them. After all, truth is truth. When I was a very little boy someone told that the sun was much bigger than the earth. I looked up at that […]
I am not a physicist, theoretical or otherwise. I have a hard time understanding Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, and Quantum physics tends to put me in an absolute funk. But even the greatest minds are incapable of putting it all together in a comprehensible whole. They have been unable to come up with a theory […]
