News
We have been on Facebook for a while, but I haven't really publicized it. I have been using our Facebook page as a sort of mini-blog. Pages on the God and Science website are updated on a constant basis, whenever new studies are published. Most of these updates don't make the newsletter, but I have been including them on our Facebook page for those who might be interested in the latest research that impacts articles previously published on the website. So, take a look and become a "fan" of the ministry:

Logos software has a free JavaScript tool (RefTagger) that automatically finds verse citations and creates a popup link that displays the verse in your favorite translation (go to the Help Page to change the default translation version). It is very cool. If you have your own website or blog, it is a great addition to your site.
My wife Carole has just finished her fifth round of chemotherapy for a brain tumor that had begun to grow again. An MRI yesterday showed that the tumor is still dormant. Thank you for your prayers.

Mandie and the Secret Tunnel
Mandie and the Secret Tunnel
is set in North Carolina in the early 1900s. The character of Mandie is a
curious young girl with qualities of Laura Ingalls, Nancy Drew, and
Cinderella, all in one. Mandie feels alone without 'real' family after her
father passes away. More...

The Widow's Might
On October 1, 2009
The Widow’s Might was released on DVD. It has something for the whole family –
comedy, adventure, drama, action, western, and musical all in one film. It
has very strong Christian values. This movie is awarded the Dove "Family-
Approved" Seal for all ages. The
story of the movie is heartwarming and the story of the filmmakers is
surprising. More...

Answers for Atheists
Cain's wife
The Bible indicates that Adam and Eve's first son, Cain, slew his younger brother Abel because of jealousy over the acceptance of his brother's offering over his own. Immediately after being banished to the east in the land of Nod, Cain's wife gave birth and raised a family and Cain founded a "city" called Enoch. If Cain was the firstborn of Adam and Abel the second, then how could Cain have found a wife and built a city? More...

Just war
Gerald Draayer (Gman from the Discussion Board) has written an article on what the Bible says about war, based upon his research and some of the discussions that took place on the topic on the board. Most people would probably agree that war is evil. It's a destroyer of life, families, and in many cases the innocent. War does not just cause physical torment, but much emotional torment, as well.

Natural evil & God
As
a member of the
Paradoxes Sunday School class at my church, I do occasional teaching
when Dr. Hugh Ross is out of town. On October 18, I gave a talk on the
subject of natural evil and the existence of God. Al, the resident atheist
of the class was asking his usual critical questions until about halfway
through the talk when he became very quiet. By that point is was becoming
increasingly apparent that the atheists' argument against God's existence
from the presence of natural evil was spurious, since natural evil is a rare
consequence of the laws of physics and the design of the earth that make the
existence of spiritual beings possible at all. The presentation (available
as Flash or
PowerPoint) consists of dozens of animations and graphics that
make the information easy to understand. The
audio recording is also
available as an MP3 file that can be played as you watch the slides. More...

Babies who die
Do all babies who die go to heaven? Or has God predestined some for heaven, while the rest go to hell? The Bible says God will judge all people, so this must include babies and young children. How does God judge between one baby and another? Does He judge by how much they cry or spit up? Since God is omniscient (all knowing), does He judge on the basis of what they would have done had they lived an entire life? More...

Sex with robots?
I have been wanting to do an article on the subject of Christians and pornography for a while, but had never gotten around to it. However, in thinking about where pornography might take us in the future, I wrote an article that includes a possible scenario that I find utterly frightening - a world in which humans prefer the company of machines over each other to meet their needs. A recent study found the widespread acceptance of pornography among today's young adults as "an acceptable way to express one's sexuality." Couple this acceptance with a high tech android capable of fulfilling any sexual desire and there is a realistic expectation for human disaster in the near future. More...
