A Matter of Days Book

Hugh Ross (Author)

How long were the creation days of Genesis—hours or epochs? Does belief in an old earth equate to belief in evolution? Was there any kind of death before the Fall?

The length of the creation days in Genesis sparks a storm of controversy. At the core of the debate, where lightning strikes and thunder roars, lie key questions whose answers promise hope for resolution.

In A Matter of Days, author and astronomer Hugh Ross addresses these questions and explores how the creation-day controversy developed. History, theology, science, and Scripture reveal creation's big picture.

Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge Book

Michael J. Behe (Author)

The groundbreaking, "seminal work" (Time) on intelligent design that dares to ask, was Darwin wrong? In 1996, Darwin's Black Box helped to launch the intelligent design movement: the argument that nature exhibits evidence of design, beyond Darwinian randomness. It sparked a national debate on evolution, which continues to intensify across the country. From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key intelligent design text—the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it.

Fit for a Purpose: Does the Anthropic Principle include Biochemistry? Book

Fazale Rana (Author)

Nearly a half a century after the introduction of the idea that humanity lives in a universe at the just-right location, the just-right time, and with the just-right physical constants, the anthropic principle continues to gain acceptance among astronomers and astrophysicists. Few scientists question the fine-tuning of the numerical quantities that define the universe.

But what about the unexplored areas of chemistry and biochemistry? Do we witness an equal amount of evidence for fine-tuning?

In Fit for a Purpose, biochemist Fazale Rana, fearlessly pushes the boundaries of the anthropic principle beyond cosmology. In the process, Rana invites the reader to …

Gunning for God: Why the New Atheists are missing the target Book

John C Lennox (Author)

Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God. Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, "is dangerous", it "kills" or "poisons everything". And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: get rid of it. But are things really so straightforward? Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks.

Lights in the Sky & Little Green Men: A Rational Christian Look at UFOs and Extraterrestrials Book

Hugh Ross (Author) & Kenneth R. Samples (Author) & Mark T. Clark (Author)

Across the spectrum of humankind there are beliefs and theories about UFOs and extraterrestrial life as diverse and numerous as the stars in the sky. Primarily, a dichotomy exists between naturalists who deny the supernatural and insist upon scientific explanations for all accounts, and mystics who attribute every unusual sighting to paranormal activity.

People everywhere are looking for honest answers. As believers, we neither shy away from the supernatural because it is unsettling nor condemn scientific explanations for their lack of spirituality. Rather, we search for truth.

In Lights in the Sky and Little Green Men, the authors have initiated …

Navigating Genesis: A Scientist's Journey through Genesis 1-11 Book

Hugh Ross (Author)

Is constructive integration of Genesis 1-11 with the current scientific knowledge possible? Everyone knows the Bible teaches scientific nonsense that s the commonly held misconception. When pushed for examples, skeptics point to the early part of Genesis, with stories of creation, the flood, and 900-year life spans as proof. Examining recent scientific discoveries, astronomer and pastor Dr. Hugh Ross explores the opening chapters in Genesis and shows how they hold some of the strongest scientific evidence for the Bible s supernatural accuracy. Navigating Genesis expands upon Ross earlier book The Genesis Question (1998), integrating the message of both the Bible … Access details page

Origins of life Book

Fazale Rana (Author) & Hugh Ross (Author)

For years, naturalistic theories have monopolized academia as the only possible scientific explanation for the origin of life. But there's something many people don't know—the facts just don't support such theories.

In Origins of Life, biochemist Fazale Rana and astronomer Hugh Ross reveal a model that shows how perspectives on life's beginnings can be tested—as a creation event—with astounding results. Rana and Ross challenge the myth that scientific evidence supports naturalistic theories and show how research corroborates a transcendent Creator who formed and nurtured the initial life-forms, and more.

Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe Book

Stephen C. Meyer (Author)

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology.

Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief — that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and …

Seven Days That Divide the World, 10th Anniversary Edition: The Beginning According to Genesis and Science Book

John C Lennox (Author)

Now revised and updated - John Lennox's acclaimed method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. What did the writer of Genesis mean by "the first day?" Are the seven days in Genesis 1 a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old as cosmologists believe, am I denying the authority of Scripture? With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests … Access details page

Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design Book

Stephen C. Meyer (Author)

The foundations of scientific materialism are in the process of crumbling. In Signature in the Cell, philosopher of science Stephen C. Meyer shows how the digital code in DNA points powerfully to a designing intelligence behind the origin of life.

Unlike previous arguments for intelligent design, Signature in the Cell presents a radical and comprehensive new case, revealing the evidence not merely of individual features of biological complexity but rather of a fundamental constituent of the universe: information. That evidence has been mounting exponentially in recent years, known to scientists in specialized fields but largely hidden from public view.

In The Case for Faith, bestselling author, journalist, and former atheist Lee Strobel turns his investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief in God--the eight "heart barriers" to faith:

  • "Since evil and suffering exist, a loving God cannot"
  • "Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true"
  • "Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed"
  • "God isn't worthy of worship if he kills innocent children"
  • "It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God"
  • "A loving God would never torture people in hell"

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine Book

Alister McGrath (Author)

World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: "If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down." The volume has received wide coverage, fueled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion.

Alister McGrath, along with his wife Joanna, are ideal to evaluate Dawkins's ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different …

The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again Book

Justin Brierley (Author)

Could We Be Witnessing a Return of Belief in Our Generation?

Justin Brierley is convinced that in our time we are witnessing a growing wave of faith.

Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But is that the end of the story?

It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led Brierley to investigate whether a change was on the horizon. Speaking of the “Sea of Faith,” Murray remarked that tides come back in again and that a number of …

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 …

The Great Dr. John Lennox, Professor at Oxford University, joins Frank to offer answers by discussing his new book Cosmic Chemistry. They address questions such as:

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. …
