It was an exciting year for the theory of intelligent design. The Access Research Network has once again published its top ten stories of the year for 2008. It is well worth your time to scan these stories to see the progress the theory has made.

A common criticism of ID is that its proponents are not interested in the scientific method and, in fact, are setting out to hinder science and the scientific method by answering “God” whenever a tough scientific problem surfaces. This criticism, however, is false. Read this brief article written by an ID proponent to see that [...]

All truth is relative! You can’t know the truth! That’s true for you but not for me! These are some of the most popular statements that float around our modern society.

This is a very important question to consider. How repentance works in the life of an individual is determined by what they believe repentance to be. Depending on it’s definition and application, it can either free one from bondage or be a legalistic tool which enslaves. The LDS Church defines “True Repentance” as a step by step process which ends [...]

I think many people toy with some form of atheism at some point in their lives. They wonder if all they were taught growing up is really true. They don’t see God, they don’t hear from him, and they don’t touch him or smell him, so maybe he doesn’t really exist. Wondering whether God exists, [...]

Intelligent Design Theistic science calls for Christians to search for signs of God’s intervention in the history of the cosmos, but how? The scientific program of intelligent design (ID) answers this question. In reality, ID is not a creation hypothesis, but a scientific method used to discover signs of intelligence in the natural [...]

One of the common conversations that Mormons will have with Christians surrounds the concept of being saved by grace through faith alone. You will find that, depending on the LDS Member you are speaking with, you will get many different viewpoints on this subject. One of the viewpoints that puzzles me the most are the [...]
