The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an “enigma”, is one of great interest to biologists.

Overall, if one accepts that nature is created and sustained by Jesus Christ, the author explains, then one must conclude that looking at nature is, in fact, the best way to learn about nature.

This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

Noll identifies 16 reasons why White’s notion of warfare is mistaken.

In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is. scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.]]> Mon, 25 Apr 11 18:14:01 -0700 Ian Hutchinson http://biologos.org/essays/adventist-origins-of-young-earth-creationism?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication http://biologos.org/essays/adventist-origins-of-young-earth-creationism?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians.

The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
