To review, the first scientific problem with the multiverse is that the science of our universe is based entirely on the natural laws of our universe. By definition, any other universe in a multiverse could have entirely different natural laws and would have different values for any familiar natural laws; the necessary consequence being that any observations of somewhere else in the multiverse would appear completely senseless to our science. The second scientific problem with the multiverse is that it isn’t scientific, meaning that, as science in our universe cannot be used to observe events outside, before or after our universe, the multiverse is scientifically undiscoverable. So the multiverse is necessarily a metaphysical (religious) belief derived from a materialist worldview. Read the rest of this post »

  True and False Facts About Truth, Part 2

 There Is Such a Thing as Truth  

Before presenting arguments for the truthfulness of the Bible, it is necessary to lay down a solid foundation on which to build the case by explaining the scope of the subject and defining terms. This series presents arguments for the Christian faith, called apologetics. The primary source material for this series are the writings of Ravi Zacharias and Josh McDowell, and the Areopagus Journal.

Rather that begin with the Bible itself, it seems better to begin with the philosophical arguments about truth and knowledge, to dispose of the claim that there is no such thing as truth. For if nothing is really true, how can the Bible be true?        Read the rest of this post »
