In our last article, we looked at archaeological finds that shed light on the kingdom of David.1Until fairly recently, critical scholars had assumed the historicity of the united monarchy and doubted only the earlier periods (the time of the judges, the settlement of the land, the exodus, the patriarchs, etc.). But as we noted, the united monarchy of David and Solomon has come under fire in recent decades.

When postmodern deconstructionism came to roost in biblical studies, the historicity of the united monarchy, once accepted as factual by nearly everyone, was now called into question. Thus the modern-day postmodern critic will claim that even though the biblical authors spoke of a David who ruled from such places as Hebron and Jerusalem, these stories are insufficient to provide us with reliable historical information and thus cause us to doubt their reliability.

There is hardly a more well-known story in the whole of Scripture than that of the spies, Rahab, and Joshua in and around the city of Jericho (Josh. 2; 6). Because of various details of Jericho found in the story (e.g., fortification walls, a gate, housing built into the city wall), finding and excavating Jericho has long been viewed as a way to correlate the text of Scripture with artifacts in the ground. Having said this, most critical scholars view Jericho as a hallmark example of how archaeology disproves the Bible. How might we respond to such an assertion?

Influential environmentalists tell us that nature is interconnected. What they mean is that an impact, good or bad, on one population in an ecosystem, will affect the whole array of organisms. There are, however, other ways in which organisms may be interconnected. One fascinating situation involves certain parasites or disease causing organisms. In several cases, a parasite passes through two entirely different kinds of host in or­der to continue its nasty parasitic existence.

Though many in our day claim that archaeology causes problems for believers, we have asked whether this is truly the case. Indeed, as we have seen thus far, archaeology creates problems only for those who presuppose that the biblical texts contain historical errors and that archaeology is a hard science that speaks more truthfully than the Bible.

In this next installment, we move forward in history to the time of Joseph, asking what archaeology can illuminate from his life and career. Afterwards, we consider the birth and education of Moses. Much like the previous article, archaeology will provide a context into which the stories of Joseph and Moses fit very naturally. Before we begin, we need to take note of the nature of the evidence archaeology provides for this time period.

Though Christians interpret history and archaeology via a biblical worldview, many archaeologists embrace a modern, evolutionary, and anti-supernatural worldview, interpreting archaeological finds in light of that. Thus, when critical scholars claim that a given archaeological find "disproves the Bible," we suggested that such claims reveal more about the worldview of the critical scholar than about archaeology itself.

While this period of history is exciting and well-known due to the dramatic events of Joshua and Judges, it is also one in which archaeologists and historians have more extant material remains to study which help to illustrate, provide context for, complement, or confirm the biblical text. In this article, we move forward in history and consider some of the archaeological finds relevant to this period.

Some wonders of the human body, we take almost for granted. Of the five senses that keep us in touch with the world, most of us are particularly aware of eyesight and hearing. Of course we are very thankful for these gifts. One sense that we tend to take for granted, however, is the sense of smell. This sense does not seem very compli­cated or amazing. Nevertheless a little re­search reveals that our sense of smell is not only exquisitely designed, but it is also poorly understood by biologists. Of all our senses, that of smell seems to be the most complicated.

This article is about faith and science.The serious study of nature follows from reading scripture, and takes seriously the scientific challenges in the light of scripture. Science seeks truth, based on creation.

This article discusses the basis for science, Christian science, the relation of science and faith, and the place of rationality in science.

This article focuses primarily on some of the most controversial areas of medical technology today, namely the biology of reproduction, human cloning and genetic engineering as well as the stem cell research that underlies these. We will also discuss the political situation as it has developed in Canada and the U.S.A.

Genesis 1-3 is foundational to our discussion of biotechnology because of its teaching concerning human beings as those who are created by God in his image. There are things we may do with respect to plants and animals that we may not do with respect to human beings, by virtue of the nature of human creation. Human beings are created in the image of God. In other ‘words, human nature is not something we fashion for ourselves, but something that we receive.

The subject of genetically modified foods is a controversial one. There are several, strongly argued sides to the debate about genetically modified foods. As a consequence, the consumer is left with conflicting information, unanswered questions and resulting confusion.

Christianity encouraged the study of science. This article gives four things that fuelled scientific studies from a Christian worldview. It argues that with the disappearance of Christianity, there will also be a disappearance of scientific studies.

After defining what science is, this article shows that most claims made in the theory of evolution and historical geology are false science. It shows how pseudoscience is dangerous for the church, the individual, and society.

This article is about the variety, richness, and complexity of God's creation and nature. 

This article examines Scripture as the foundation of and motivation for science.

This article is about the scientific method and the purpose of secular science.

This article is on how the Reformation helped science, and the relation of science and Scripture.

Why should Christians study science and the creation of God? This article looks at eight reasons.

This article is about Scripture and science. Scripture is not a science textbook, but what does this mean for how we see creation and special revelation? The laws of nature and the limitations of science is also discussed.

Are you turned off from exploring the topic of DNA because of all the scientific jargon used? This article shows that the topic is of great interest, and is understandable once the jargon has been "de-coded." The author explains what a chromosome is, and introduces you to some of your own chromosomes. The detail and sophistication of a single human cell is so amazing that it incites us to praise the Creator of everything.

Most people would agree that a basic understanding of the workings of the human body, or disease organisms, of weather patterns, of plant biology, local ecology, of electricity, etc. are essential to anyone's functioning successfully in modern society. Despite the relevance of these topics, many people are uninterested or afraid of studying science. This article studies some aspects of science as it relates to faith.

Has science proved that God does not existence? The question of God’s existence is not that of science by that of worldviews. Secular scientists start with some form of assumptions which direct their expectations. 

Is religion outdated and God an irrelevant myth? Has science removed God? This article tests the answers that science gives to the questions of life, such as the origin of life and purpose of life. It asks the reader to make the judgment as to whether these answers are satisfying.

What is the connection between reason and faith, the spiritual world and physical world? This article shows that they are all connected by the lordship of Christ.

Are the laws of physics contradicting the possibility of creation? Laws do not create, they can only describe what happens under certain conditions. So the claim that science contradicts creation is not true.

Biotechnology has put on the table the question of what is man. This article looks at the challenges posed by biotechnology and how Christians can respond to them by affirming the biblical view of man.

Do you know the difference between science and science fiction? Science acknowledges the reality of intelligent design; science fiction does not. The article explains in more detail.

Countering the claims of many atheistfs, this article shows that the claims of science discredit evolution not creation.

This article shows that science is unable to answer the question of origins. The knowledge of origins can only be known by faith, and this is what the story of creation reveals.

What can we learn from polystratic trees with regards to the age of the earth?

Is the universe billions of years old? This article provides evidence from radioactive crystals for a young earth.

This article considers more recent research into dating the earth. It discusses especially the matter of C14 (carbon fourteen dating).

True science and Christian faith have often been allies in history instead of at odds with one another. This article shows how scientists in history were motivated by faith in God and aimed to understand his creation for his glory.

This article looks at the relationship between world pictures (world view) and how we view science and the theory of evolution.

Have you ever stopped to consider the beauty of functional proteins in the cells of your body? This article offers some considerations on these molecular machines that keep the component cells of our bodies healthy, noting also their God-given beauty.

Why is it that some Christians see science as contradicting Scripture? In thinking about the relationship between faith and science, this article shows that most Christians think that way because they fall into one of the four traps.

This article is about a collection of soft-bodied fossils from the Burgess Shale in British Columbia, and likened such fossils to an explosion; hence the name, "Cambrian Explosion." The article considers how such an explosion may have happened. It also considers the discovery of other soft-bodied fossils in the world, and how these complex animals leave evolutionits scratching their heads. It concludes by suggesting these animals were pre-flood, and suddenly buried when the flood came.

This article is about the way we have to look at scientific knowledge, especially in our arguments against evolution. We have to realize the limitations of human reasoning and that no specific method is without assumptions or fully objective. All scientific theories have an subjective side to it.

This article is about scientic learning and scientific knowledge. It also looks at the subjective element of knowledge, faith and science, natural theology, and the Argument from Design.

This article gives Augustine’s view of creation and interpretation of Genesis 1-2. It shows how his view of God’s act of creation and providence can aid in engaging Darwinism.

This article is about the chaos theory in contrast with God's providence and the order of God's creation.
