Continuing with our discussion about design we discuss: water – lots of it , the earths magnetic field, operational science and worldview.
Our Habitable Earth
Our Habitable Earth
We’re going to spend a few posts on our planet earth. It looks remarkably well designed and purposely habitable. Secular scientists claim it all originated by chance and chaos. What do you think?
The Fine-tuned Universe
Our fine-tuned universe.
The topic of design in creation is a hotly contested area, as you could imagine. A pile of books have been written and hundreds of papers published. Not only that, the areas of science are so specialized that mere mortals can barely decipher the language, let alone join in the conversation. We can, however, point out some of the arguments that show that design as evidence for God is hard to escape.
Design Arguments
The design argument
We are currently examining various arguments for the existence of God. Our second discussion, called the “teleological” argument takes various forms, but is an argument from design. It was neatly illustrated in the 17th century by William Paley and was summarized by a sort of story about a watch.
The Road Ahead
Isn’t any talk about evidences for Christianity reserved for areas of faith alone? Is there even such a thing as discussing actual evidence for it? Yes, there is. Christianity is not threatened by scientific or philosophical challenges, and is considered a “reasonable faith”, in that our faith is backed up by abundant evidence.
Evidence, Reason, Faith
A good place to start
There is a 1,000 year old argument, called Kalam’s argument,which has been given support by modern science. A scientific fact discovered in the last 100 years and not broadly discussed among peasants like us, is that the universe – you know, everything that we know of – used to not exist. It had a distinct beginning. Not only that, there used to be nothing.
