Design in Astronomy:
If God created the world with purpose, then we would expect to see evidence of design in the world around us. I will share some interesting aspects of design found in astronomy.
Things that Go Bump in the Dark:
Many creationists have doubts about black holes, dark matter, and dark energy. However, there are good reasons to believe that these things may be real.
What About UFOs and ETs?:
Are flying saucers real? Has the earth been visited by alien astronauts? We will explore the evidence and seek biblical answers to these important questions.
What Was the Christmas Star?
Was there really a star that led the Magi to Bethlehem? We will explore the possibilities.
Big Problems with the Big Bang:
For more than a half century, the big bang model has been the dominant theory of the origin of the universe, so many Christians have embraced the big bang as God’s method of creating the universe. But is the big bang model well established science, and does it conform to what the Bible teaches?
What Cosmology Does the Bible Teach?:
Does the creation account of Genesis 1 include a cosmology? We will examine the text to see.
Is the Earth Flat?:
The modern flat-earth movement appeared a decade ago and has caught up many Christians. We will examine some of the physical and biblical claims flat-earthers make.
Revealing God’s Glory Through Astrophotography:
Psalm 19:1 declares that the heavens declare God’s glory. I will share photographs of the sky that I have taken to demonstrate some of wonder of God’s creation.
Philosophy of Science: What is Science, and How is Science Done?
Science can be a God-honoring practice, but exactly what is science, and how does one go about doing science?
Foundation of Quantum Mechanics:
Many Christians have doubts about Quantum mechanics, our best understanding of the physics of very small systems, such as atoms. I will describe a little bit about this fascinating area of physics.
Foundation of Relativity Theory:
Many Christians have doubts about modern relativity theory, both the special theory and the general theory of relativity. However, there are good physical reasons for accepting both modern theories of relativity.
Thermodynamics:
Creationists often use thermodynamics in arguing against evolution. What is thermodynamics, and how is it relevant to this discussion?
The Myth of “The Scientific Method”:
Primary and secondary school curricula teach “The Scientific Method.” However, this grossly oversimplified approach to science leaves out many other ways of doing science and thus misleads many people in how science is done. We can and must do better in educating students about science.
