@NancyRPearcey @AleMartnezR1 Science is a gift from God. The more Science learns, the closer to God it / we get. Christians have nothing to fear, embrace it.

The more science advances, the greater the evidence for an intelligent Designer. --that the universe had a beginning --the the universe is fine-tuned for life --that information is at the core of life (DNA) --that information is needed for each new body plan --that consciousness transcends its material substrate The case for a Mind behind the universe is not based on ignorance, on what we do not know. It is based on what we do about the structure of life and the universe.

I'm a scientist. I saw the evidence for God and I accepted it. Will that convince skeptics? Unlikely. What Piers says is entirely rational and not a God of the gaps argument. That argument only covers things within the universe that science might conceivably explain. NdGT is wrong here, because ultimately, we don't know how it all started, and we will never know scientifically. I'm as disappointed as anyone that we can't extend science right to the beginning and beyond, but we just can't. Now, I can't absolutely rule out that we might someday determine how the universe went from non-life to life (though I'm extremely skeptical). But if we want to go all the way back to the beginning of everything, that's where we run into the most unforgiving brick wall. Our own scientific theories strongly hint at this with what's called the Planck scale – this is the smallest scale in terms of fundamental units that our physical theories can describe without imploding. We can push our physical theories back, back, back, all the way back to a tiny fraction of a second after the beginning of the universe: 10 to the power of -43 seconds. It's a mind-bogglingly minuscule amount of time. But it's not to t=0 and it's not beyond t=0. Scientists exploring quantum gravity explanations are trying to get around this so we can get ever closer to t=0, but so far have not been able to come up with a coherent theory. If that's a strong hint, then here comes the sledgehammer. Every successful physical theory only describes what happens after the universe comes into being. Science cannot, by definition, describe what caused it; it cannot go beyond t=0. Why? Because the cause is outside the universe. Observation and experimentation are key parts of the scientific method, but how would science ever be able to study something beyond the universe? What method would you use? What instruments? It's not lack of imagination, it's literally impossible. The best we can do is make logical inferences about the cause based on what we do know scientifically and philosophically, which is what Piers did. It's what I do. It's what anyone who invokes the multiverse does. It's what a lot of theologians, philosophers, and scientists do. I don't dislike NdGT. I actually kind of like him, and I appreciate that he distances himself from the atheist label. But, ironically, he's the irrational one in this conversation if he thinks science will close the gap about the origin of the universe. That's not just faith, that's blind faith.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has joined Pope Leo XIV in calling for peace. In a statement issued today, the Archbishop says 'I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart, and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable. It is the calling of every Christian – and of all people of faith and goodwill – to work and pray for peace.' The statement also notes: 'Time spent with Anglican Primates from across the Communion at my installation in Canterbury was a reminder of how many conflicts continue beyond the front pages of our news, yet demand no less our concern and prayer.'

It was God the Father who raised Jesus from the dead (Rom. 8:11), and by that act God declared that Christ’s atoning sacrifice had been accepted. The penalty for our sins was paid in full. The resurrection was God’s declaration that He had cancelled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands (Col. 2:14). –Jerry Bridges

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

For years, Canada sent 70 cents of every defence dollar straight to the United States. Mark Carney just told Parliament that stops now. The room gave him a standing ovation. It is a striking thing to get a standing ovation for announcing that your country will stop subsidising someone else’s arms industry. But that is where Canada is in 2025. Carney’s case is blunt: the United States is “beginning to monetize its hegemony, charging for access to its markets and reducing its relative contributions to collective security.”   And MAGA is celebrating. Winning. Always winning. USA, USA. Somewhere a man in a red hat is pumping his fist. Let me explain what is actually happening, because clearly no one has bothered. In ten months, the United States has torched eighty years of alliance architecture that its own soldiers, diplomats and taxpayers built from the rubble of the Second World War. Eighty years. Gone. Detonated, with a smile, by people who genuinely believe this is genius. Canada is not drifting away. Canada is leaving. Europe is not hedging. Europe is building a defence industry specifically designed to cut Washington out. Allies are not quietly grumbling over dinner. They are signing contracts with other people. And the MAGA faithful are cheering every single step of it, because someone told them this is what dominance looks like. It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Kingdom Come@thykingdom_come·
Thy Kingdom Come 2026 returns this May, and from Ascension to Pentecost, more than a million Christians across the world will unite in prayer for more people to come to know the hope and love of Jesus. In this inspiring message, @ArchbishopSarah points us to the heart of this year’s theme, God With Us, reminding us that God is present in joy and in sorrow, in companionship and in solitude, often known through the quiet work of His Spirit and through the love and care of others. Watch the video and let us begin to prepare our heart for the 11 days of prayer ahead. 🙏

Tonight I’m reminded that after 49 years, Voyager 1 as it heads away from us at speeds far in excess of Artemis 2, is still less than one light *day* away from us. As we approach Easter, let’s recall Isaiah 40:12 that tells us that God measures the cosmos in the width of his hand
