Is This
Really A Material World?
The Bible says that God is self-evident, which
would mean that in order to see him or hear him all
one would have to do would be to look and listen.
For example, everywhere scientists look in nature
they discover rational, creative explanations.
These explanations are completely distinct from the
existence of rational, creative creatures, so it is
not possible to declare that these explanations
belong to us. Who then is the rational, creative
author of it all.

Irrational
Faith -- What Science Cannot Explain, by Matt
Tang: The author proposes that the only other
alternative to a faith in a rational creator is an
unspoken acknowledgment of the current state of
affairs. It requires a blind acceptance of a
rational universe, a tenuous recognition of free
will, and a bleak acquiescence that life is nothing
more than a mysterious, but meaningless,
phenomenon.
Infinity,
by Robert Haraway III: This article explores
the importance of the mathematical concept of
infinity. The calculus we used to put men on the
moon was just as crucial and "real" a part of the
mission as the rocket ship that took them there.
Yet it is undeniably immaterial.
A
Matter of the Mind, by Keren Zhou: This article
makes the very simple argument that if there were
immaterial phenomenon in the universe (such as the
concept of infinity), then there is no way that the
brain could "know" it. It could not use the five
senses to perceive something which is
intangible.
The
Image of the Creator, by Matt Connally: This
article looks first at the immaterial nature of
information and then at the mystery of man's
ability to perceive, translate, and author it. And
all the science will support the Bible's claim that
man is made in the image of the Author of life.
