There is hope for renewal in a flanking movement against materialism — the spiritually charged philosophy of nature in the poetry of William Wordsworth.
Why there is something rather than nothing is the question posed in our video, "Proof of God in 3 Minutes," about the law of conservation of matter and energy.
Speaking of Amazon, we follow the reviews there, and it’s always welcome to see what readers have to say. I’ll share the top review of each book respectively.
You can’t be good at everything. There are trade-offs. For example, a race car has advantages in the environment of a racetrack, but a jeep has advantages in the environment of a muddy, rocky road. Just as a car can be designed for speed on a racetrack or for off-roading, there are design trade-offs in biology. Understanding these trade-offs and their optimization for populations is key to understanding examples, often reported by science media, of “evolution happening before our eyes.” Key Connections between Trade-Offs and Optimality Trade-offs are necessary in multi-objective optimality. In other words, a system must be optimized over multiple variables, entailing trade-offs between separate objectives. Trade-offs are fundamentally connected to optimality because they …
What can science tell us about the existence of God? A lot more than you may think! Since the 16th century, a scientific worldview has been brewing called materialism that sought to explain all of life and the universe through unguided chance processes, and in doing so, ridding humanity of any need for God. But the worldview of materialism is increasingly at odds with the latest scientific discoveries of the last hundred years. On today's episode, join host Andrew McDiarmid as he continues his conversation with engineer Michel Bollore, co-author with Olivier Bonnassies of the book God: The Science, The Evidence, now available in a new English translation. Published in French in 2021, the book is a #1 bestseller in France, Spain, and Italy and has sold over 400k copies. The book presents a wide-ranging case for the existence of God by drawing on discoveries across physics, cosmology, biology, and human consciousness. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Editor’s note: This interview is sponsored by Palomar Editions, publisher of God, the Science, the Evidence. However, Discovery Institute staff were responsible for the editorial content of this posting.
Does God exist…or not? It’s a simple, compelling question. What can science tell us that would help us get an answer? For the last 150 years, many have assumed science has ejected God from the picture, a quaint relic of a less enlightened past. But what if that view has become a relic itself? Scientific discoveries of the last hundred years suggest there is bountiful evidence of intelligent design in nature, from the simplest living cells to distant galaxies.
On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a conversation with computer engineer and businessman Michel-Yves Bolloré, who is co-author with Olivier Bonnassies of the book God: The Science, The Evidence.
In Part 1, Michel explains how this materialistic worldview developed and how it gave the illusion of challenging the foundations of belief in God. Michel also discusses the difference between evidence and proof, and discusses how his book builds a strong case for theistic belief by presenting numerous, converging, and independent lines of evidence.

What happens when a world-class mathematician and Christian thinker takes on one of the most hotly debated questions of our time—can the book of Genesis be reconciled with modern science? In this episode of ID the Future out of our vault, host Jay Richards welcomes Oxford University’s Dr. John Lennox to discuss his book Seven Days That Divide the World.
Lennox argues that science and faith are not enemies but allies in our quest for truth. He offers a careful reading of the Genesis creation account, showing that it need not be in conflict with what we learn from physics, cosmology, and biology. With wit, humility, and clarity, Lennox challenges both materialist skepticism and overly rigid interpretations of Scripture, urging listeners toward a view of reality that can honor Scripture as well as the findings of science.

In a universe of non-living space and matter, life is incredibly rare. To stay alive, all organisms have to overcome a myriad of engineering challenges.
I’m going to describe some of my personal encounters with Walter that are not in his biography. These I hope will bring to light the man in a fresh way.

At a dinner at my home, a guest launched into a lengthy explanation of why, as a religious person, neither he nor anyone should be bothered by “evolution.”
Fossils can be handled in the present, but how they are used by evolutionists in stories of history resembles the practices of overeager medieval churchmen.
He challenges Stephen Jay Gould’s idea that the difference between humans and chimps is merely one of degree but not kind, calling this “utterly ridiculous.”
The Darwinian account of the human race would be much easier to believe in good faith if scientists could point to a clearly inferior and clearly human being.
Whether we like it or not, Erasmus Darwin’s simple and predictable world is no more, and we now find ourselves subject to a profoundly mysterious cosmos.

“In this vast range, there’s only one…infinitesimally small band which has the right energy for photosynthesis,” a prerequisite for human life. Coincidence?
Scientists are still discovering how many systems, controls, and other aspects of planetary fine-tuning are in place to ensure that we have abundant life.
One thing that is likely to get some pushback is the study’s claim that modern-style plate tectonics on Earth did not commence until the Neoproterozoic.
Today we would of course brand both Faust and the Alchemist fantasists or “mad scientists” of the first order. Was Darwin prone to such wishful thinking?
This is a fantastic field trip opportunity for middle and high school students in homeschool and private school settings to interact directly with scientists.

First, the conversation delves into the site’s launch in December 2004, when the modern intelligent design movement and the Internet were both relatively new.
There seems to be little relationship between many science writers’ current concerns and the reasons that public trust in science has been steadily declining.
