The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 9: Boltzmann Brain Matrix

The multiverse + anthropic principle blows itself up. It doesn’t give us the universe we see, because starting with randomness leads to Bolztmann brains, to a self-generated Matrix. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 8: Multiverse

The multiverse, though fodder for great speculative fiction stories, is based on a desire to explain wild improbabilities seen in the formation of the universe that should lead a person to realize there must be a Creator. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 7: The “Darks”

Dark matter, dark energy, and dark flow are three terms applied to unknown or mysterious elements of the cosmos. These “darks” reveal that scientists prefer explanations that fall in line with preconceived paradigms than explanations that don’t. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 6

Many people believe dark matter exists, though we’ve never directly detected it. Belief in God makes even more sense. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 5: How God Stopped Being the Creator

The history of science is supposed to show how the idea of God makes less and less sense. But it doesn’t. · Travis Perry

The Metaphysics of Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War

Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War isn’t preachy about any particular worldview, but still reflects a near-ubiquitous belief in a self-generating universe, a universe with no God in control. · Travis Perry

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 4: The Half-Hill of Particle Physics

Did the universe generate itself? Particle physics increasingly implies it didn’t–the particles that make up the universe seem quite “unnatural.” · 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 Death: One Christian’s Reaction

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

Annihilation: A Malignant Transcendence

The movie Annihilation shows a universe imagined to have generated itself without purpose or plan.

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 8: Why Should I Care?

Christians are ambassadors to a world that longs to find feelings of transcendence in the concept of aliens. · Travis Perry

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 7: Tamed Transcendence

When humans substitute meeting aliens for the transcendence of God, we create a tamed version of what we long for. · Travis Perry

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 6: Aliens as Substitute for Knowing God

Human beings may long for fellowship with intelligent aliens, yet truly need relationship with the transcendent God. · Travis Perry

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 5: The UFO Alien Phenomenon

Do aliens secretly visit Earth or ghosts haunt people? These stories likely have the same cause: dark spiritual forces. · Travis Perry

The Shape of Water and Its Use of ‘Image of God’

The Shape of Water functions as an artistic modern morality tale that appropriates the biblical “image of God” concept. · Travis Perry

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 4: ‘Ancient Aliens’ Fall Short

Aliens imagined to have visited us in the past are generally seen just like humans—nothing like the God of the Bible. · Travis Perry

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 3: In The Image of God, Darkly

The human race is made in God’s image. But unlike David and his creator from “Alien: Covenant,” that does not mean God looks like us physically. · Travis Perry

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 2: ‘Alien’ Aliens

If we think of God as somehow “alien,” does this help us understand his transcendent nature? · Travis Perry

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 1

Science fiction often shows aliens as an exaggerated form of human being, which can actually help us understand God. · Travis Perry

Do the Bible and Conscience Limit Christian Cosplay?

Your cosplay choices can be shaped by other Christians’ advice, but only God and Holy Scripture should guide you. · Travis Perry

On The Origin Of Mythic Orbits and Genre Short Stories

Short stories are often used to promote feature-length novels, but Travis Perry did something different in “Mythic Orbits.” · Travis Perry
