In the passages below, notice that the destruction of earthly powers is expressed through the figurative language of a collapsing universe: The sky rolling up and the sun, moon, and stars being darkened or falling. Another way to describe this discourse is the language of “de-creation.”

In tracing the fluid storyline of the Bible, Dr. Keller has first focused on the early chapters of Genesis, emphasizing both the ordained purpose of creation and the great Fall of humanity. The latter addresses the pressing question: what is wrong with the world?

In early Homo came a hominin with a larger, rounder cranium and evidence of clear stone tool production.

My transition from aligning myself with the Intelligent Design Movement to accepting evolution was rather sudden. Looking back on this transition, I realized that a few factors had helped.

I think that one of the questions that arises when thinking about faith and science is whether theology is being forcibly changed simply to accommodate to scientific development.

The language of a collapsing universe is related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God’s “new world order.”

During the late 19th century when critical views of Scripture came to prevail in American universities, Warfield was responsible for refurbishing the conviction that the Bible communicates revelation from God entirely without error. Yet while he defended biblical inerrancy, Warfield was also a cautious, discriminating, but entirely candid proponent of the possibility of evolution.

The partialness of our knowledge ought to remind us that even incomplete recoveries of the past ought be regarded as gifts.

In order to understand the very nature of humanity, one needs a firm grasp on the doctrine of original Sin.

I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It’s as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.

I intended to start my research by reading Behe’s then-new book Edge of Evolution. I poured myself a cup of coffee, closed my office door, readied notepad and paper, and settled in.

The complex sounds in the piece are created by only five human voices over a foundation of a single cello—the entirety of the Toby Twining Music ensemble.

In his sermon “The Great Invitation”, Kevin Kim raises a question that all Christians should address: what’s so great about the gospel anyway?

I had heard quite a bit of anti-ID rhetoric at the conference, and I remember thinking it best to look at the case for ID first, before looking at the case for evolution. It would turn out to be a fateful choice.

If the tape was rewound and evolution started over from scratch, Conway Morris says, the evolutionary details would be different, but the end result would be similar: a species characterized by intelligence and complex civilization.

All science can say is that there was never a time when only two people existed on the earth: it is silent on whether or not God began a special relationship with a historical couple at some point in the past. This subtle but extremely important point was missed entirely in the NPR story.

Naming Jesus as both the Alpha and Omega is not just to say he was “there” at the beginning and has now run on ahead to the end, but to say that He subsumes both, because past and future are known relative to Him in communion with the Father and Spirit.

On July 27, 2011, renowned evangelical John Stott passed away at the age of 90. His work was an influential voice in conservative evangelicalism. In honor of Stott’s work in promoting “balanced and thinking biblical faith”, we feature an audio excerpt from Stott’s address “Genesis 1: Called to Full Humanity”.

It was not long after my (now embarrassing to me) actions that I was first introduced to the ID movement through the work of Michael Behe. Ironically enough, I was introduced to ID by a vocally pro-evolution professor.

The problem is that in America, the Deism of people like Thomas Jefferson had split off God from the world for political reasons, because once God is out of the picture, then we are free to develop whatever sort of empire we want. Sadly, the church colluded with this...

Being in Christ means that our lives can be re-written and re-ordered to conform to the good, life-full narrative of Genesis 2.

Genesis 2 is about as well known as any Bible story ever told – the wondrous story of the creation of Adam and Eve.
