On Christian Views of Creationism–Part V (Continued: Young Earth Creationism)

Some commentators read my general overviews, and they assume that I don’t know the basic cosmological views, such as the cosmological view of the starlight and time problem. However, I have been reading about cosmology for the last 16 years or so, and I am quite acquainted with how the views on cosmology “have [...]

On Christian Views of Creationism–Part IV (Continued: Young Earth Creationism)

In Part II, I laid out an overview of Young Earth Creationism (YEC), and in Part III, I began addressing some of the controversy with YEC. I will continue addressing the controversy and potential problems with YEC in this post.

On Christian Views of Creationism–Part II (Young Earth Creationism)

After fifty eight years of living, I have come to a major conclusion about people: if there’s one thing, in [...]

On Christian Views of Creationism–Part I (Old Earth Creationism)

The scope of intelligent design is limited. It either assumes that a designer kicked things off in the beginning with the a plan that things would unfold as they did, or that a designer was involved at some point in the design of life forms. Christian creationism differs from this in some ways [...]

A Naturalistic Fairy Tale–Part II

And then did gravity clump matter together.  Albeit, faster than should have been possible.  With particles flying outward at faster than the speed of light, which today is impossible, but then not so miraculous.  And then, did we notice that every galaxy is moving away from us by the redshift of light.  Originally we had [...]

Intelligent Design, Naturalistic Evolution, and Philosophical Underpinnings

It often seems to me that scientists lose track of the fact that their research methods and interpretation of results are based on philosophical assumptions.  Now, to be fair, sometimes I have seen this awareness, but oftentimes it is absent.
There is no such thing as philosophy-free science; there is only science whose philosophical baggage is [...]
