The Christian Atheist
TRUTH is our guiding light, and as God’s Word, in both the Incarnate and written form, is Truth, the LORD Jesus and the Bible are our foundations. We use philosophy, psychology, the hard sciences, theology, history, literature and the humanities focused through the lens of God’s word in pursuit of meaning and understanding. Christ is the Way, but we will not shy away from the hard questions of faith; here, like Jacob, we wrestle with God. We embrace beauty, wisdom, enchantment and FUN. God’s Wisdom reflects through the WORDS of our past: philosophers, poets, saints, scientists and heroes, Einstein’s relativity, the Quantum revolution, American patriots and Greek orators speak to our present. We love the written word, the truth and beauty revealed in it, and the search for meaning. Atheists and Christians, agnostics and postmoderns ... ALL are welcome here, and ALL will be challenged! ”For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts,” says the LORD.

Following our 3-part "parenthetical" on idolatry, we return to our primary series on the Hebrew word, malaki (in distinction from the book that bears this name).
In episode 1 we encountered the very first instance of Malaki, My Angel, in the Bible. It was on Mount Sinai after God had delivered the law, proclaime...
We pause our series on "malaki" to present the important context of Israel's idolatry at the foot of Sinai in the incident of the golden calf. As Jenny and I studied this issue over the past several months we began to understand something important that has ramifications for both the Old and New Testament scripture, and all of Christian history and practice ever since.

Dr. Sean McDowell’s YouTube interview of William Lane Craig (October 18th) followed ours on October 15th. I was completely unaware of what Dr. Craig has been doing since I first became of aware of him in his 2011 debate with New Atheist Christopher Hitchens.
The discussion on the historicity of Adam stunned and deeply disappointed us.
Here is our response. It was a long time coming, and was perhaps the most difficult episode...

We will resume our series on THE CONTENT OF A SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION in future episodes, but we could not restrain our excitement over God's revelation of Himself in His word to us!
This new series on Malachi will make most sense if you first listen to our initial Malachi series, episodes #136-146.

We begin a personal history of the revolution in my thinking from evolution to special creation spurred by the evidence of microbiology. Vital to this history is a text by geologist Allan G. Krill, FIXISTS VS. MOBILISTS IN THE GEOLOGY CONTEST OF THE CENTURY, 1844-1969. In this delightful book, Dr. Krill recounts the history of Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift,...
This week, we address evolutionary faith through celebrated evolutionary biologist Dr. Eugene Koonin's book THE LOGIC OF CHANCE: THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION. It is available here:
