What does it mean to be human, to live on planet Earth, in the universe as it is now understood? Best-selling author and mathematical cosmologist Brain Swimme takes us on a journey through the cosmos in search of the “new story” that is developing in answer to this age-old question.

How did science replace God and deceive the whole world? How did math replace God and deceive all of us? There’s an entire hidden history that reveals how science and math usurped God, but it’s a history that has never been told. Christians and pastors are generally unaware of this history. It's time to address this issue, because many have tried to eliminate God entirely from the discussion of creation, and expunge God as the cause of all that has been created in the heavens and on earth. The driving force of this new thrust to usurp God entirely from existence and from all possible ...

The invention of the printing press catalyzed Martin Luther’s reformation; radios and televisions delivered Billy Graham’s gospel proclamations to millions of households. Technological advancements have undoubtedly advanced kingdom work for centuries - but is the same true for the burgeoning technologies of today? As virtual reality becomes increasingly prominent throughout society, churches must assess how to respond thoughtfully and biblically.

Have you ever been wrong? What if the Christians are right about Eternity and you are on the wrong side. Will you spend eternity in Hell in a lake of fire? This is too important of a decision to ignore. Do you have children that you are responsible for?

Regarding your life and your brief existence on Earth, is that all there is? If you have ever felt that there is more here than an exclusively physical reality, you may be surprised to discover that scientific data from astronomy, quantum physics, biology, neuropsychology and cosmology actually confirms your intuition. With unusual clarity and humor, Dr. Shawn Adair Johnston reveals the utter failure of current science, based on an exclusively physical model of the universe, to account for the origin of the cosmos, human DNA, consciousness, free will or criminal behavior.

La science peut-elle tout expliquer ? Beaucoup de gens le pensent aujourd’hui. Il faut dire que les découvertes et les progrès technologiques ont été extrêmement nombreux ces dernières décennies. Néanmoins, faut-il aller jusqu’à estimer que la religion se voit de facto reléguée au rang des pensées archaïques ? Foi et raison sont-elles forcément irréconciliables ? À la fois scientifique de renom et fervent chrétien, le professeur John Lennox propose dans cet ouvrage une réflexion stimulante et accessible sur l’un des grands sujets de débat de notre époque.

Evolution and creation are in a spiritual battle. Evolution scientists ignore, dismiss, and unequivocally reject creation out of hand - "It is not science or fact as evolution is," they say. However, Nullifying God shows that random Darwinian evolution does not have the direct evidence required to support the claim. Not only that, but it provides contrary evidence that evolution is biologically impossible.

The question of teaching evolution in the public schools is a continuing and frequently heated political issue in America. From Tennessee's Scopes Trial in 1925 to recent battles that have erupted in Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and countless other localities, the critics and supporters of evolution have fought nonstop over the role of science and religion in American public life. In American Genesis, Jeffrey P. Moran explores the ways in which the evolution debate has reverberated beyond the confines of state legislatures and courthouses.

In 1811, when the self-schooled daughter of a carpenter pulled some strange-looking bones from Britain's southern shoreline, few people dared to question that the Bible told the accurate history of the world. But Mary Anning had discovered the 'first' dinosaur, and over the next seventy-five years - as the science of palaeontology developed, as Charles Darwin posited theories of evolutionary biology, and as religious scholars identified the internal inconsistencies of the Scriptures - everything changed.

The current controversy over teaching evolution in the public schools has grabbed front-page headlines and topped news broadcasts all across the United States. In the Beginning investigates the movement that has ignited debate in state legislatures and at school board meetings. Reaching back to the origins of antievolutionism in the 1920s, and continuing to the promotion of intelligent design today, Michael Lienesch skillfully analyzes one of the most formidable political movements of the 20th century.

Do scientists see conflict between science and faith? Which cultural factors shape the attitudes of scientists toward religion? Can scientists help show us a way to build collaboration between scientific and religious communities? To answer these questions and more, the authors of Secularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion completed the most comprehensive international study of scientists' attitudes toward religion ever undertaken, surveying more than 20,000 scientists and conducting in-depth interviews with over 600 of them.

Were Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler wrong? Does Earth orbit the Sun, or does the Sun orbit Earth? For centuries, everyone thought the science was settled, but today the accepted cosmology is being challenged by writers, speakers, and movie producers who insist that science took a wrong turn in the 17th century. These new geocentrists claim not only that Earth is the center of our planetary system but that Earth is motionless at the very center of the universe.

René Descartes (1596-1650) has been commonly known as the "father of modern philosophy" who was also a mathematician and a scientist as the Scientific Revolution was breaking out in Europe. Descartes--a lifelong Roman Catholic educated by the Jesuit order, which in 1548 began its prestigious educational mission in Europe (well before the founding of the Protestant seminary known as Harvard)--nevertheless sought to overturn the traditional Aristotelian science taught by the Jesuits and other Catholic educators. With an obsessive focus on pursuing knowledge marked by certainty, Descartes, a ...

This book demystifies the so-called God-Science debate. Driver takes on the big questions of our origin and existence while turning the assertion of the Bible’s incompatibility with science on its head, including an unprecedented scientific account of Genesis. Science is God’s witness as creator and affirms the Bible is the divine word of God.

This message is for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The scriptures and the prophets have given us warnings to prepare for the second coming. There is nothing new in my message, but I'm able to connect the dots better than others. I am able to see something that is just on the horizon. The events prior to the second coming are near, because the signs have been identified. There are patterns in the Book of Mormon for Jesus' second coming from his first visit to the Americas.
