- How To Tackle The ACLU and Win: Is The "Intelligent Design" Program "Religion"?
The futile, but never-ending debate over which account of human origins may or may not be taught in public schools, drones on yet again. Most American Christians continue to fight the less-than-good fight, oblivious to the fairly obvious point that the

- Big Bang Was Followed By Chaos
Seven years ago Northwestern University physicist Adilson E. Motter conjectured that the expansion of the universe at the time of the big bang was highly chaotic. Now he and a colleague have proven it using rigorous mathematical arguments.The study, published by the journal Communications in Mathematical Physics, reports not only that chaos is absolute but also the mathematical tools that can be ...
- Rev. Steven McKeown's paper defending use of state money to help restore Bald Knob Cross
Citing North American history dating to Christopher Columbus' 1492 venture to the New World, Bald Knob Cross board president Rev. Steven McKeown released a paper documenting his belief that state funds used in the monument's renovation don't violate church-state separation statutes. Click to read the full writing.
- Blog - Why Spacetime On The Tiniest Scale May Be 2-Dimensional
The latest thinking about quantum gravity suggests that spacetime is 2-dimensional on the smallest scale. And there may be a way to prove it In 1973, George Ellis and Stephen Hawking published a book called The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime. Their aim, they said, was to understand spacetime on the scale ranging from 10^(-13)cm to 10^28cm or, in other words, from the size of elementary ...
- Variations in fine-structure constant suggest laws of physics not the same everywhere
(PhysOrg.com) -- One of the most controversial questions in cosmology is why the fundamental constants of nature seem fine-tuned for life. One of these fundamental constants is the fine-structure constant, or alpha, which is the coupling constant for the electromagnetic force and equal to about 1/137.0359. If alpha were just 4% bigger or smaller than it is, stars wouldn't be able to make carbon ...
- Review of 'The Grand Design,' by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow.
"The Grand Design" gets into the deepest questions of modern cosmology without a single equation. The reader will be able to get through it without bogging down in a lot of technical detail and will, I hope, have his or her appetite whetted for books with a deeper technical content. Leonard Mlodinow - Grand Design - Stephen Hawking - God - Physics
- Tractor beams come to life
Tractor beams, energy rays that can move objects, are a science fiction mainstay. But now they are becoming a reality -- at least for moving very tiny objects.
- Christian Living Resources, Bible Study Tools, Jesus Christ
By any measure, Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous and influential figures in modern science. For thirty years, he served as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and his career before and after his decades in that post is the stuff of scientific legend.
- 'City Thinks' focus on 'Final Frontier'
In January 2004 NASA's twin robots, the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, landed on the surface of Mars. The mission's primary goal was to examine a wide range of rocks and soils that hold clues to past water activity on the planet.
- Big bang was followed by chaos, mathematical analysis shows
Seven years ago, a physicist conjectured that the expansion of the universe at the time of the big bang was highly chaotic. Now he and a colleague have proven it using rigorous mathematical arguments. Their study reports not only that chaos is absolute but also the mathematical tools that can be used to detect it. Applied to the most accepted model for the universe's evolution, these tools ...
- Universe Chaotic From Very Beginning
by Staff Writers Evanston IL (SPX) Sep 08, 2010 Seven years ago Northwestern University physicist Adilson E. Motter conjectured that the expansion of the universe at the time of the big bang was highly chaotic. Now he and a colleague have proven it using rigorous mathematical arguments.
