A Santa Claus Non-Believer Discovers Tolkien’s Father Christmas Letters

Life coming from non-life on its own is a staple of science fiction. But is so unlikely in the real world that even recent advances in science are a long way from explaining it. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 3: The Post-Big Bang Entropy Mountain

Even if you grant that the universe generated matter and the laws of physics from nothing, there are still mountains of massive improbabilities to climb. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 2: Wheels That Turn Themselves

Do the metaphorical wheels of the universe turn themselves? If the universe runs “downhill,” they could. But steep hills require a motor. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 1

Comparing the universe to a car can help us understand how the creation points back to the existence and work of the Creator. · Travis Perry

Are Theists Dumber Than Atheists, or More Intuitive?

Several recent studies attempt to explain why atheists are “smarter” than theists. But when it comes to intelligence, IQ is not the only thing that matters. · Travis Perry

Stephen Hawking’s public atheism grew during his lifetime, but we can hope he knew the God he often wrote about. · Travis Perry
