Is There Intelligent Design in Nature?

bacterial-flagellumGerard M. Verschuuren, scientist, writer, speaker, and consultant, working at the interface of science, philosophy, and religion, explains the difference between intelligent design as a metaphysical concept and ‘ID’ as a scientific theory. He endorses the first, calling is ‘cosmic design’ and attributing it to God, the author of natural laws and creator of the world that is being investigated by natural sciences. He refutes ‘ID’ as a scientific theory which would lead to a ‘god of the gaps’. Nature, biological evolution includes, does not need the supernatural interventions to bring about complex structures. The metaphysical designer and his laws of nature, including natural selection, suffice.

Can science eliminate God?

0 comments

GodIn a new 10 minutes video of his ‘Word on Fire’ apostolate, Fr. Robert Barron addresses the question of ‘Who God Is and Who God Is Not’. Where atheists present God often as a being among other beings, God is the subsistent act of being, according to christian philosophy. There is some reality who’s very nature is to be. That infinite source of reality which grounds and gives rise to the whole nexus of things, the non-conditioned and non-contingent ground of contingency. Sciences can not even begin with addressing the question of God. God is in no way a being within nature, the realm of science.

Answering Atheism: how make the case for God with logic and charity

0 comments

answeringatheismToday’s popular champions of atheism are often called New Atheists, because they don’t just deny God’s existence (as the old atheists did) — they consider it their duty to scorn and ridicule religious belief. But there’s nothing really “new” about their arguments. They’re the same basic objections to belief in God that mankind has wrestled with for centuries. We don’t need new answers for this aggressive modern strain of unbelief: We need a new approach. In Answering Atheism, Trent Horn responds to that need with a fresh and useful resource for the God debate, combining a thorough refutation of atheist claims with a skillfully constructed case for God based on reason and common sense. Just as important, he advocates a charitable approach that respects atheists’ sincerity and good will — making this book suitable not just for believers but for skeptics and seekers too.
