Why does God not show His face?
“I would believe in your God, if only He would show His face.” I remember speaking to an atheist friend of mine who, to put it lightly, is obviously and outspokenly skeptical that any deity exists at all. As far as he is concerned, there is no evidence that speaks in God’s favor and…

Contemplating the Cosmos: The Fantastical Alien Worlds
“All my life I have wondered about the possibility of life elsewhere. What would it be like? Of what would it be made?”[1] It is easy to wonder, sitting on this cosmic shoreline and looking up into the universe, if there is any life out there whose intelligence might be similar to our own,…

Contemplating the Cosmos: Standing on the Shoreline

It Seems To Me
It seems to me that secular society has no reason to deny God as it does. After all, a tradition given to us by the philosophers of old, namely David Hume, suggests that things are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. We judge the world today according to laws and phenomena that have always been,…

No One is Capable of Understanding
Some time ago I very facetiously wrote a brief “philosophy of philosophy”[1] and, in the presented argument, suggested that doing philosophy meant nothing without God. My younger brother, Nolan, replied to my ‘argument’ and, I must say, he replied very well.[2] He came to the same conclusion, only changing the…
