Is the Bible really full of contradictions as some claim?  Or are there reasonable explanations for these textual difficulties that can maintain the Bible’s credibility and authority? Let’s take a look.

In the beginning, ancient aliens visited planet Earth, significantly influenced human history, and possibly even engineered human life to evolve. Furthermore, as a result of ancient alien visitations, history is replete with clues regarding these alien astronauts. Flying saucers and little green men may seem the stuff of 1950s B-movies, yet ideas like the ones just described are gaining momentum not only in popular culture but also in some scientific circles.

The controversy between creationism and evolution is not a disagreement between science and religion. Rather, it is a dispute between advocates of opposing religions: scientists who believe the Bible versus scientists who believe in humanism.  As Roger Oakland says, what one believes about creation and evolution determines what they will believe about morality and a Savior.

What is this evolution doctrine that inspires so much faith in its disciples? How has it turned great scientists into dogmatic opponents of any other viewpoint? Many evolutionary scientists have united their professional influence to forbid any classroom instruction contrary to their own views. Does the theory of evolution merit this kind of fanatical support, which would silence all opposing ideas?

Non-Christians sometimes assert that God is portrayed in the Old Testament as a cruel and ruthless deity that indiscriminately orders the execution of seemingly innocent men, women, and children, or directly carries out their deaths by various means. Such a God, the argument goes, in no way represents the loving Creator or Father figure that the New Testament offers and should in no way be worshipped or venerated.

Is there evidence of God’s existence inherent in the universe, solar system, earth and the human body? Are there marks of intelligent design all around us? Let’s look at the incredible complexity and precision that exists and see if it demonstrates the work of blind chance (evolution) or intelligent design.

When we speak of God’s attributes, we are talking about those characteristics that helps us to understand who He truly is. That which follows is a thorough, yet incomplete list and summary of His attributes.

Christians frequently run into the argument that “The Bible can’t be trusted because it has miracles, and they are clearly not possible because science doesn’t accept the miraculous.” How should believers respond?

After all, if we believe in God, then we have solid grounds to believe in our own value. Sometimes it’s hard, but it’s logical: we know we are worth so much to God, loved so enormously, that the Father sent His own Son to die for us. But now we have learned that all that is myth, and we are products and guests only of a blind, arbitrary process. For millions of years it has bubbled away, and now, for a few short years, we have our spell in the sunlight. What does that say about us? French philosopher Sartre: ‘All kinds of materialism lead one to treat every man as an object… in no way different from the patterns… which constitute a table or a chair or a stone.’ It happens that we can walk and talk, but fundamentally that does not alter what we are: chance objects of no inherent value in a chance universe..

The philosophers saw it coming first: the contemporary crisis of pointlessness, of directionlessness, after the loss of God. ‘The passing days, the wasted sensibility’: to what extent is that our contemporary experience? One of the greatest British novelists, Joseph Conrad, described our destiny bleakly in Heart of Darkness as a ‘mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose’. What is worth doing? What am I living for?
