BMS - The Science Issue

BMS World Mission has recently published an edition of their magazine 'Mission Catalyst' focusing on science and Christianity and equipping Christians for it as a mission field. Very nice little articles and very encouraging to see such a pro-science stand taken by the organisation.

Summer 2012 Issue of God and Nature

The latest edition of God and Nature magazine is now available here.

My article this time round is titled "Humanity 2.0?" and is a discussion about the area of human enhancement. I sketch out (hopefully) a reasonable and productive attitude that Christians can legitimately take towards such ideas.

R.C. Sproul on the Age of The Universe

A five minute clip well worth listening to, especially if you have a gripe about what scientists are saying conflicting with your understanding of Scripture. (Originally found on I Think I Believe.)

Science, Scripture, and the Age of the Universe from Ligonier on Vimeo.

He makes a really good point about the revelation of Scripture and Nature having the same author yet Christians only finding the revelation of Scripture to be infallible and freely dismissing the revelation from Nature. The only thing I wish Sproul been more understanding about is that it is not just non-believing scientists who advocate an ancient universe based on the physical evidence (what he calls the revelation from nature), but most Christian scientists as well.
