Image of GodGod as the Source of Knowledge
By Krista Kay Bontrager Does the Bible indicate where knowledge comes from? How Humans Differ from Animals
by Kenneth Richard Samples For many people the distinction between human beings and animals has become increasingly blurred. Exposure to the secular, naturalistic worldview--especially in academia--can leave one wondering whether the differences are simply a matter of degree. In this view, mankind leaped to the top of the evolutionary heap by chance events. Just Another Animal?
by Kenneth Richard Samples Blame it on TV. After all, beginning at a very young age, children watch countless videos and cartoons where animal characters speak and display other human characteristics. So Easy a Caveman Could Do It? Part 1 (of 2)
Editor's note: this week we present an article by guest scholar Dr. Stan Lennard. The slogan of the popular Geico commercials is now familiar to most television viewing people. It shows the frustration, resentment, and anger of cavemen toward certain twenty-first century corporate executives who portray their company’s product as being so easy to use that these mere cavemen can do it. It is a marvelously successful ad campaign. So Easy a Caveman Could Do It? Part 2 (of 2)
Editor's note: this week we present part 2 of an article by guest scholar Dr. Stan Lennard. Last week we explored one aspect of human nature—language—that sets humans apart from animals and we proposed the neural synapse as a mechanism by which a Creator could communicate with humans. In the second part of this article we will consider mind and matter interaction documented by the clinical studies of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The Physics of Sin

When British zoologists announced Dolly the sheep, the first mammal successfully cloned from an adult cell, my phone became extra busy. Secular media spokesmen wanted my comments on this development, which they assumed Christians would view as evil, perhaps on a par with abortion and euthanasia. They made clear their expectation that I, as an evangelical scientist, would oppose any and all cloning experiments. Uniqueness of Human Capacity to Express Malice
Hugh Ross, Ph.D. One of the cornerstone doctrines of the Christian faith is that humans alone among all life-forms on Earth are sinners. According to the Bible, all humans and only humans are born with the propensity to commit evil acts. That being the case, it should not be difficult for scientists to develop tests to confirm or deny this essential teaching of the Christian faith. Uniqueness of Social Cognition in Humans
by Hugh Ross, Ph.D. One of the cornerstone doctrines of the Christian faith is that humans alone among all life-forms on Earth are created in the image of God.
