From Dr. Tom Woodward:Pascal, the French genius who invented adding machines, pioneered calculus, proved the existence of a vacuum, and helped poor people in Paris by creating something called a “bus”, was also the first great modern Christian apologist? “Pensees” (“paw-say”) is his ultra-rich buffet of 993 notes for his planned book he never wrote. Savor these: The Apostles were either deceived…

Did you know that the brilliant French scientist and mathematician, Blaise Pascal, had a jolting conversion in 1654, and soon began writing out a defense of Christ-faith for skeptics? In his collection of notes for the book he intended to write, published under the name “Pensees,” we see gems like this one: “The hypothesis that the Apostles were knaves is quite absurd. Follow it out to the end, and…

From Dr. Tom Woodward:  Did you know that C. S. Lewis says that, as an atheist teacher at Oxford, he was drawn into a chess match with God, who steadily maneuvered him into “checkmate”? Lewis reveals this in his autobiography “Surprised by Joy,” and God’s chess game has a bizarre turning point for Lewis’s atheism in the chapter “Checkmate.” Here’s the shock: God used another atheist teacher at Oxford…

Did you know that our planet is: 1. Crafted for life to flourish, 2. Ideally positioned in the Milky Way to observe the universe, and 3. Fine-tuned for space travel! This third shocking discovery was recently published by the same astronomer, Guillermo Gonzalez, who brought out points one and two (and many other aspects of the fine-tuned cosmos) in the book and film titled “The Privileged Planet.” From…

From Dr. Tom Woodward: Did you know that a new 20-minute digital documentary, “The Information Enigma,” unlocks the mystery of the origin and destiny of the universe? Through its dazzling visuals and interviews with top scientists, it shows that the ultimate source of the natural wonders of our world is found to be digital code... a kind of stubbornly specified complexity that experts compare to computer…

From Dr. Tom Woodward: Did you know that a fascinating parallel can be drawn between the Narnia adventure by C. S. Lewis, “The Silver Chair,” and the current debate over origins as it intersects with the worldview of materialism. Enjoy this spectacular parallel drawn by author Jonathan Witt in an article by Evolution News. Be sure to read Lewis’s amazing book if you have not had a chance yet! https://zcu.io/yi1T

From Dr. Tom Woodward:   Many atheists are outspoken in unbelief, citing key reasons for rejecting a supernatural Creator. I can relate! After entering Princeton as an atheist, I argued for the “fact of evolution” with Christian students who questioned Darwinism. Later, seeing abundant evidence for Christianity, I embraced the faith I sought to topple. But did you know that skeptics can speak out…

Last week we introduced modern scientific skeptics of Darwin’s theory: David Gelernter, a Yale computer genius, and Thomas Nagel, the top atheist philosopher of consciousness. Did you know that the scientist who lit the match of science-based anti-Darwinism in 1985 was also unconnected to Christianity or biblical creation teachings? Meet Michael Denton, one of the great Gamaliels of all time. He…

From Dr. Tom Woodward: Did you know there are modern-day Gamaliels? Who is Gamaliel? He's the Jewish rabbi in Acts 5 who, though not a Christ-follower, urged Jewish leaders to control their rage at the apostles' teaching that Jesus, the crucified Messiah, was alive. Gamaliel said the disciples might be telling the truth, adding, "If this is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may…

From Dr. Tom Woodward:   Did you know that human DNA not only stores the blueprints for constructing thousands of proteins necessary for life, but that our 46 chromosomes are fitted together precisely for cross-talk? It is clear that their 3D arrangement sets up chemical conversations between sections of DNA in two chromosomes that are snuggled up next to each other. This adds another layer of information…
