Who we are

The purpose of this blog is to discuss truth and values in science and society in a respectful manner. Science is often driven by ideology, especially that of naturalism with its secularist agenda. This includes aspects of Darwinism that have become ideological or religious in character, and upholding such naturalistic dogma is often more important than truth in science. Darwinism has a huge impact on society and what it means to be human and this is often overlooked. Other topics will include environmental and social challenges, such as the need to consider human needs in light of risks associated with climate change. The world faces so many environmental and social challenges that there is a need for clarity, truth and sound judgement in society. Topics will include intelligent design, care for creation and the environment, social issues and ethics and third world development, all discussed within a context of God's love, wisdom and power in creation.
