Metaphysics is the philosophical branch that deals with the question of reality. Simply, what is real? Theists believe in “Immaterialism” or “Idealism” which is defined by reality consisting of both the material world (i.e., the physical world of the five senses), and immaterial world which we would call “Spiritual.” Christians and Theists hold this as […]

Suffering As A Living Parable Theodicy is the defense of God against the Problem of Evil or Suffering. This is, in my studied opinion, the only argument against God and his goodness, power, or even existence. Contrasting that one argument against faith, is that there are many arguments in favor God’s existence. Alex O’Connor, who […]

An Atheist’s Creedal Formulation Because atheism demands only a material reality, an appropriate creedal formulation for atheists according to Steve Kumar, is: There is no God There is no objective Truth There is no ground for Reason There are no absolute Morals There is no ultimate Value There is no ultimate Meaning There is no […]

What If Atheists Are Right About the Beginning of the Universe? As to the beginning of our universe, I am aware of at least two atheistic positions. This becomes for atheists an either-or proposition: 1. Either you believe that matter came from non-matter – that is something came from nothing. 2. Or, that matter has […]

Every Worldview strives to answer three questions: 1. What is the nature of reality (Metaphysics). 2. How ought we to behave (Ethics). 3. How do we know (Epistemology). Jesus is our Worldview! 1. Reality – John 1:3 – All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has […]

God’s Heroic Spiritual Gene Heroes are, by the very nature of the descriptive term, admired. Men and women who rush into certain or uncertain death, to rescue a friend or even a stranger, are universally hailed as heroes. But heroes don’t fit in to the theory of evolution. Here’s the conundrum. Atheistic Naturalists freely admit […]

What I Lack to Become an Atheist Have you had a “deconstruction” of your faith which led to a “crisis of faith”, because you tried and failed at rationalizing God? If so, then good. I’m glad you failed. But failure should not lead to “unfaith”, but to a greater awe of God, saying, “holy, holy, […]

Reading different versions spurs different thoughts due to the different wording. For example, Psalm 10:4: CSB – In all his scheming, the wicked person arrogantly thinks, “There’s no accountability, since there’s no God.” NASB – The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek [Him.] All his thoughts are, “There is no God.” […]

I find this quote both instructive and foreboding. Instructive in that allowing the possibility that we are wrong, allowing ourselves to see contradictions is the first step in seeing truth. This requires honesty. Foreboding in that human intelligence and wisdom can only progress so far. This requires humility. Whitehead is the father of “Process Theology” […]

How do we decide right and wrong? There are precepts and principles, but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand laws. I would like to suggest to you an image, a picture, but one set in time and reality, that can be used to help us see the meaning of ethics and morality – the […]
