Creation Questions
The Irreducibility of Life
In his paper “Life Transcending Physics and Chemistry,” Michael Polanyi examines biological machines in a way that illuminates the explanatory failures of materialism. The prevailing materialist paradigm that life can be fully explained by the laws of…

Human Eyes – Optimized Design
Is the human eye poorly designed? Or is it optimal? If you ask most proponents of modern evolutionary theory, you will often hear that the eye is a pinnacle of unfortunate evolutionary history and dysteleology. There are…

Mutation is not Creation
Evolution is certainly a tricky word. For a creationist, it’s clear as day why. There are two equivocal definitions being used which blur the lines and convolute any attempt at productive dialogue. “Change in allele frequencies in…

Jesus Is The Logos
Based on a cross-sectional analysis of Revelation, John, Hebrews, Colossians, and 1 Timothy, the conclusion that the Logos is a pre-existent, divine person, Jesus Christ, is not merely suggested, but is textually inescapable. Let me explain: The…

Specious Extrapolations in Origin of Species
In The Origin of Species, Darwin outlines evidence against the contemporary notion of species fixity, i.e., the idea that species represent immovable boundaries. He first uses the concepts of variations alongside his introduced mechanism of natural selection…

The Five Major Challenges To Hume’s Skepticism
In David Hume’s book A Treatise of Human Nature, he constructs what he calls the science of man. One cannot rightly understand any other species of science before this foundational science. The most radical and paradigm-shifting realization,…

The Agnostic Nature of Phylogenetic Trees and Nested Hierarchies
The evidence typically presented as definitive proof for the theory of common descent, the nested hierarchy of life and genetic/trait similarities, is fundamentally agnostic. This is because evolutionary theory, in its broad explanatory power, can be adapted…

Evidence for an Active Alternative Promoter in the Human DDX11L2 Gene
Abstract The human genome contains numerous regulatory elements that control gene expression, including canonical and alternative promoters. While DDX11L2 is annotated as a pseudogene, its functional relevance in gene regulation has been a subject of interest. This…

J. Budziszewski’s Natural Theology of Sex: A Pathway to Biblical Understanding
J. Budziszewski, in his insightful work On the Meaning of Sex, presents a compelling natural theological framework that grounds sexual ethics in the inherent design and purpose of human beings. This approach, by meticulously analyzing the given…

The Pagan Can Be Saved?
Wesley Coleman In Søren Kierkegaard’s Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments, Johannes Climacus breaks down notions, based on objective and speculative interpretations, of Christianity, arguing instead that authentic religious truth is fundamentally subjective. As exemplified in his…

The Nature of Society: Where We Stand as Individuals
From my perspective, society isn’t some grand, top-down invention or a purely artificial construct. Instead, it’s a natural outgrowth of human interaction, an organic creation. This organic origin gives society a fascinating, dualistic nature: it’s both a…

The Incoherence of Naturalism
Introduction Naturalism—the philosophical position that reality consists entirely of natural entities governed by natural laws—presents itself as the most rational and empirically grounded worldview. Yet despite its scientific veneer, naturalism suffers from foundational incoherence that undermines its…

An Argument for Agent Causation in the Origin of DNA’s Information
NOTE: This is a design argument inspired by Stephen Meyer’s design argument from DNA. Importantly, specified complexity is changed for semiotic code (which I feel is more precise) and intelligent design is changed to agent causation (which is…

Chromosome 2 Fusion: Evidence Out Of Thin Air?
The story is captivating and frequently told in biology textbooks and popular science: humans possess 46 chromosomes while our alleged closest relatives, chimpanzees and other great apes, have 48. The difference, evolutionists claim, is due to a…

Examining Claims of Macroevolution and Irreducible Complexity:
A Creationist Perspective The debate surrounding the origin and diversification of life continues, with proponents of neo-Darwinian evolution often citing observed instances of speciation and adaptations as evidence for macroevolution and the gradual development of complex biological…

The Creation, the Fall, and the Problem of Suffering
The problem of evil, death, and suffering has plagued humanity for millennia. How can a loving, all-powerful God allow such things? Many Christians have proposed scenarios suggesting that suffering helps us truly value goodness, or that our…

Tiny Water Fleas, Big Questions About Evolution
Scientists recently spent a decade tracking the genetics of a tiny water creature called Daphnia pulex, a type of water flea. What they found is stirring up a lot of questions about how evolution really works. …

Ologies,ologies, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink…
So, you’re telling me that every field of study, from the submicroscopic quarks of quantum physics to the grand cosmic spirals of astrophysics, can’t help but stumble over the God question? Metaphysics? Yes. Phenomenology? Check. Cosmology? Double-check.…

Presuppositionalism: A Tool for Christian Apologetics?
In the landscape of Christian apologetics, presuppositional apologetics presents a distinctive approach to understanding knowledge, reality, and belief. This philosophical method, pioneered by thinkers like Cornelius Van Til in the 1920s, challenges fundamental assumptions about epistemology and…

How Created Heterozygosity Explains Genetic Variation
A Conceptual Introduction: The study of genetics reveals a stunning tapestry of diversity within the living world. While evolutionary theory traditionally attributes this variation to random mutations accumulated over vast stretches of time, a creationist perspective offers…
