Biblical Worldview - Part 14 - The Pale Blue Dot
The “Pale Blue Dot.” Have you seen the picture? A truly beautiful photograph… It’s amazing to realize how tiny the earth is in comparison with the vastness of our solar system — not to mention the universe! To Dr. Carl Sagan this photograph revealed that humanity, the earth, and life itself are all insignificant given the scale of the cosmos. We’re just a tiny blip on the canvas of nature. So he suggested we find meaning and purpose by exploring space, searching for extraterrestrial lifeforms, and colonizing remote planets. Of course this begs the question: how can space exploration (a hopelessly too large task) give meaning?
Is Cultural Marxism Compatible with Christianity?

Biblical Worldview - Part 4 - Are Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 Reliable?
Many people find it difficult to believe the teaching of the first two chapters of Genesis. It is
easy to ask, “Are we sure that account is reliable?” or “Isn’t that just a general picture? It’s not meant to be taken literally, right?”
If we have a question about the Bible, the best place to find the answer is the Bible. As Major
Ian Thomas was fond of saying, “The best commentary on the Bible is the Bible!” So what does
the rest of Scripture teach us about Genesis Chapters 1 and 2?
Biblical Worldview - Part 3 - What is the Origin and Nature of the Universe?
“Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?” From ordinary people to famous philosophers, everyone has wrestled with questions of origin. In fact, every culture, every religion, and every worldview has attempted to answer questions of origin.
