Math is like magic. It always follows the formula and always gives consistent results. You watch it happen, and you know it works. But only the Magician knows why.
The Truth About Science
“Science holds that Earth is 4.6 billion years old, that all life evolved from microbes, and that modern humans first appeared 200,000 years ago—65 million years after dinosaurs died out”. [1] This quote from a 2015 periodical makes some confident-sounding claims. And why not? After all, who would be so naïve as to dispute the […]
God of the Gaps?
God is not a God of the gaps. He is not a God of the mysterious, invoked only to explain what we do not understand. God is the God of logic and order and precision, the God of stark simplicity and of irreducible complexity. He is the God of everything we know and the God […]
The Vault of the Sky
“And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. And God said, […]
Apples to Apples
Probably my favorite party game. It’s seemingly endless, laugh-out-loud fun. But when some friends and I stayed up way too late attempting to plow through the entire deck, it got me wondering how long the game could actually go. What amount of time would it take to use up every card combination possible? In the […]
Wave-Particle Duality and the Incarnation
Is light a particle or a wave? Trick question. It’s both. Strange, but very true. In fact, just a few months ago, some Swiss researchers were able to produce an image of light’s dual wave/particle nature. I’m so excited about this new intel that I stuck the picture right here in this post for you […]
You know you’re a nerd when…
Oh crap! Nosebleed! Nosebleed! Quick, someone get me a…hey, wait a minute… That’s right, I mounted it to a slide. I mean, why not? If you’re going to bleed out your nose, do something cool with it, right? So you see all those blue-grey blobs in the background. Those are red blood cells which have […]
Chasing Rainbows
I keep a little glass prism in my window. When the sun comes through (about 6 pm right now), I get lots of little rainbows all over my room. Yesterday, I decided to try taking a picture of one of these rainbows — not the image cast on the wall, but the light itself! After several minutes of […]
An Apologist and an Atheist Helping Each Other Out
I ran across an article which describes an unusual friendship between two people of different faiths. While they certainly do not agree about everything, these friends have chosen to hear each other out and allow their thinking to be challenged. I won’t give away the article, but it is refreshing to see people realizing that […]
A Brainless Brain Teaser…Bet You Can’t Stop Looking At This!
I LOVE optical illusions. They make me realize how limited my senses (along with my brain) really are. Kind of scary, actually, but a ton of fun anyway. Try this one on for size. It works because, when you stare at the negative image, the inverse colors (which are the image’s true colors) get temporarily “burned” […]
