Think About IT: Is Science a Truth Seeker?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / August 26, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Is Science a Truth Seeker?

The dilemma for science is this. If science claims or presents itself to be the pursuer of truth, following the evidence wherever it may lead, then all plausible answers regarding questions and observations of the empirical data must be weighed and debated based upon their own merit and ability to explain a particular phenomenon or…

Think About IT: No Bias?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / July 23, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: No Bias?

Science claims to be the unbiased evaluation of the empirical facts, but anyone who looks at the facts, realizes that far too often, philosophical commitments drive them more than just the facts. For example, Nobel Prize winner Steven Weinberg said that the “steady state theory is philosophically the most attractive theory because it least resembles…

Think About IT: Naturalism is Extraordinarily Unnatural

By Ronnie W. Rogers / November 17, 2008 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Naturalism is Extraordinarily Unnatural

Some scientists claim that what one can experience with the five senses is all there is; hence there is nothing outside of the material universe. But wait a moment. If scientific naturalism is true, nature is all there is, religion is merely an expression of need, want, or a quest for power, and only what…

Think About IT: The Monkey Has Left His Cage

By Ronnie W. Rogers / September 18, 2008 / Comments Off on Think About IT: The Monkey Has Left His Cage

Those of you who know me, know that I am deeply concerned about the pervasiveness of viewing all of life through the lenses of evolution. Thus man is only different in degree from animals rather than created in the image of God and therefore categorically different. Lest you think I am overstating the case when…

A Day Is a Day Is a Day – Why of Course: Unless That Day Challenges Darwinism!

By Ronnie W. Rogers / August 14, 2008 /

Genesis has been a battleground for some time, and today is no different. This is particularly true of Genesis 1-3, which is the account of the creation and the fall. When I first began studying the Scripture, I recognized the importance of the first eleven chapters of Genesis, but in retrospect I did not fully…

See Chimpanzee: See Man

By Ronnie W. Rogers / December 11, 2007 / Comments Off on See Chimpanzee: See Man

So we have been told by the Evolutionary establishment for the last thirty years. They have taught us and our children that there is only a 1% difference in the genome of a chimpanzee and a human. Thus, the only sequacious inference to be drawn from such an incontrovertible scientific fact is that humans are…

Intelligent Design: Intellectually and Scientifically Solid

By Ronnie W. Rogers / November 20, 2007 / Comments Off on Intelligent Design: Intellectually and Scientifically Solid

Recently, we hosted Dr. William Dembski to speak on Intelligent Design (ID) at The University of Oklahoma. In preparation for his coming, some of our members produced a pamphlet that answered some of the most oft heard criticisms/objections to ID. The answers are clear and concise. For anyone wanting to better understand the ID position…

Does the Existence of God Undermine Science?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / December 16, 2006 / Comments Off on Does the Existence of God Undermine Science?

A friend of mine was in a position of bringing philosophers, theologians, and scientists together.  He heard arguments from evolutionary scientists arguing that the mere possible existence of God undermined science.  He wrote William Dembski and me for a response.
