Unoffendable: How Just One Change Can Make All of Life Better Book

Brant Hansen (Author)
Unoffendable, now revised and updated with two new chapters, gives you a concrete, practical way to live life with less stress. In our easily offended, cancel-culture society, learn how to replace perpetual frustration and anger with refreshing humility and gratitude. It turns out giving up your "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies … Access details page

Who Was Adam? A Creation Model Approach to the Origin of Humanity Book

Hugh Ross (Author) & Fazale Rana (Author)

Who was Adam? Was he the result of still ongoing natural processes or a unique creation?

Ten years ago, in the first edition of Who Was Adam?, biochemist Fazale Rana and astronomer Hugh Ross proposed a ground-breaking new approach to probe questions about human origins. This approach, which they have called the “testable creation model,” advanced the radical idea that the traditional biblical view of Adam and Eve has scientific credibility.

The first half of this updated edition has left the original manuscript in tact. The second half then reflects on how the model has fared in light of a …

Why I'm Still a Christian: After Two Decades of Conversations with Skeptics and Atheists--The Reason I Believe

Why I'm Still a Christian: After Two Decades of Conversations with Skeptics and Atheists--The Reason I Believe Book

Justin Brierley (Author) & Alister McGrath (Foreword)

A compelling and intriguing discussion of why believing in God makes the most sense of human existence and our purpose on earth by one of the most respected Christian thinkers of our time.

“Highly readable survey of the reasons for Christian faith. Not just an academic exercise, Justin has respectfully engaged many thoughtful atheists and sceptics over years, which is always a test for a believer.

A humanized NOVA1 splicing factor alters mouse vocal communications

A humanized NOVA1 splicing factor alters mouse vocal communications Publication

Nature Communications (Publisher)
Publication that may very well be understood as further evidence of human exceptionalism.
Abstract: NOVA1, a neuronal RNA-binding protein expressed in the central nervous system, is essential for survival in mice and normal development in humans. A single amino acid change (I197V) in NOVA1’s second RNA binding domain is unique to modern humans. To study its physiological effects, we generated mice carrying the human-specific I197V variant (Nova1hu/hu) and analyzed the molecular and behavioral consequences. While the I197V substitution had minimal impact on NOVA1’s RNA binding capacity, it led to specific effects on alternative splicing, and CLIP revealed multiple binding peaks …

A reassessment of the “hard-steps” model for the evolution of intelligent life

A reassessment of the “hard-steps” model for the evolution of intelligent life Publication

Science Advances (Publisher)
Publication highlighting the exceptionalism of human existence.
Abstract: According to the “hard-steps” model, the origin of humanity required “successful passage through a number of intermediate steps” (so-called “hard steps”) that were intrinsically improbable in the time available for biological evolution on Earth. This model similarly predicts that technological life analogous to human life on Earth is “exceedingly rare” in the Universe. Here, we critically reevaluate core assumptions of the hard-steps model through the lens of historical geobiology. Specifically, we propose an alternative model where there are no hard steps, and evolutionary singularities required for human origins can be explained via …

Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Proximal Intercessory Prayer (STEPP) on Auditory and Visual Impairments in Rural Mozambique

Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Proximal Intercessory Prayer (STEPP) on Auditory and Visual Impairments in Rural Mozambique Publication

Southern Medical Association (Publisher)

This study by the Southern Medical Association investigated the potential therapeutic effects of proximal intercessory prayer (PIP) on hearing and vision impairments in rural Mozambique. PIP differs from distant intercessory prayer (DIP) in that the prayers are offered in the physical presence of the recipient. The researchers measured the hearing and vision of 24 participants (19 males, 5 females) before and after receiving PIP interventions.

The study found statistically significant improvements in both auditory and visual function following PIP. Hearing thresholds, measured at 3 kHz, showed significant improvement across the entire group. Similarly, binocular visual acuity increased significantly as well. …
