Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with mathematician, author, and theologian Dr. John Lennox. They discuss the axioms and dangerous aims of transhumanism, the interplay between ethical faith, reason, and the empirical world that makes up the scientific endeavour, and the line between Luciferian intellectual presumption and wise courageous exploration. Dr. John Carson Lennox is a Northern Irish mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian apologist. Dr Lennox has been one of the most important apologists for me. I take every opportunity to listen to him. He has written books that will expand your Biblical knowledge and faith. He was a professor at Oxford and Green Templeton College (now retired) where he specialized in group theory. Lennox appeared in numerous debates with questions ranging from “Is God Good” to “Is There a God,” and faced off with academic titans such as Richard Dawkins, Michael Shermer, and Christopher Hitchens, among others. Lennox speaks four languages – English, German, French, and Russian, has written 70 peer-reviewed articles on mathematics, co-authored two Oxford Mathematical Monographs, and was noted for his role in translating Russian mathematics while working as a professor. I have also enjoyed listening to Jordan Peterson and seeing the positive impact he has had on male university students and watching his coming to faith after both his daughter and wife came to faith.

KEEPING THE FAITH BUT FAITH IN WHAT?
Columbia University professor ( an adjunct professor in the Writing Program at School of the Arts) Brenda Wineapple’s goal in writing Keeping the Faith (faith in evolution) appears to be to present William Jennings Bryan (and creationists in general) in the worst possible light. Consistent with this, she also strives to present evolutionists (in this case, the atheist/agnostic Clarence Darrow in the best possible light. The author succeeds marvellously in achieving both. The author undertook an enormous amount of research, as evidenced by the 58 pages of references in her bibliography section. Sadly, her book is also widely successful, being rated number nine in its category on Amazon and earning 386 ratings, 92% of which are very positive and 22 reviews as at 14 July 2025. On Goodreads, the book has 710 ratings, 85% of which are very positive and 120 reviews as at 14 July 2025. It is in 721 libraries.
With so many people in the USA wedded to evolution including many who believe they are Christians, and the fact we are in the Biblical prophesied last days before Jesus returns when persecution of Christians escalates a Christian revival is unlikely. However, there is no doubt that God has given the USA a reprieve with the election of Donald Trump and the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk has seen a significant turning to God by university students and Gen Z.
Wineapple has cherry-picked thousands of pages to present William Jennings Bryan as a white supremacist—a position Bryan openly condemned in writing. She mentions Bryan in conjunction with the KKK fully 39 times, such as the claim that “Bryan from the pulpit preaches the domination of Christ; in politics, he practices Ku Kluxism and white domination, the bulwarks of which are lynching, murder, rape, arson, theft, and concubinage.” As one reviewer of Keeping the Faith stated: “Bryan gets a lot more attention [than Darrow] and it is mostly to denigrate him as a racist Christian fundamentalist … . She spends way too much time on the Ku Klux Klan when they do not figure at all in the Scopes Trial. They seem to be in the book because [she claimed] they align significantly with Bryan’s views, but Bryan was not in the KKK … . In fact, Bryan’s beliefs were over half a century ahead of the civil rights movement. In the magazine he edited, The Commoner, Bryan frequently wrote about his strong support for black civil rights. None of Bryan’s support for civil rights for blacks made it into Wineapple’s book!
Neither does she ever mention that all of the evidence the scientists submitted in support of evolution (which was included in the transcript of the trial) has been fully refuted. Piltdown Man has been exposed as a forgery. Java Man consisted of only a skull cap, a portion of femur and two teeth, not all of them closely associated with each other. The femur portion is indistinguishable from that of a gracile (‘modern’) human, or a robust human such as Homo erectus. The skull cap was more than once thought to be that of an extinct ape, but is now generally acknowledged to be that of a robust human, i.e., H. erectus, consistent with the teeth found.
ronically, Wineapple acknowledges that evolution is based on instances of damage to the DNA code, called ‘mutations’. Evolution teaches that humans are the result of billions of such genetic mistakes. However, most mutations are either deleterious or near-neutral. They do not add viable information, which is what evolution requires. Instead, many of those mutations that are not repaired (99.9% are repaired) cause diseases, including cancer. They do not take you from GOO to YOU.
Much information regarding the supreme value of academic freedom is covered by Wineapple, but she ignores the fact that, as a result of the Scopes Trial and its progenitive precedents, the American courts have ruled that it is illegal to present information against the evolutionary worldview and in favour of the creation worldview. Consequently, only information in favour of the evolutionary worldview and against the creation worldview can be taught without risking termination. This is not education, but indoctrination. Wineapple’s book serves to strongly support this one-sided brainwashing, which will significantly worsen the situation concerning the importance of academic freedom.
HOW DOES EVOLUTION MAKE “YOU FROM GOO”?
C.S. Lewis once put it, “Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator.” Christianity is a science-starter. God made us in His image to create as He creates.
The creation/evolution debate has continued unabated for a century. The US and, indeed, the world remain highly divided on the question of origins. The good news is that latest scientific discoveries like the electron microscope that revealed in even the simplest cells complex machinery and transport devices and then the discovery of DNA which is complex information that controls the complex machinery and transport devices in every cell. There is no way this could have evolved and the only source of complex information is intelligence of the highest order. The God who exists outside of the complex universe He created.
There is no mechanism to explain evolution, from “GOO to YOU”. Darwin’s natural selection won’t do it. It only selects from what is already there. The only other proposed mechanism – mutations, also won’t do it. Mutation loses information it does not add information. Moreover order does not come from chaos. God exists and even more important He loves us.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO DEAL WITH MILLIONS OF YEARS
Some things should make Christians angry. In this powerful presentation, Ken Ham challenges believers to reclaim righteous anger, stand firm on the authority of Scripture, and boldly confront the lies of modern culture. Genesis 1 to 11 provides the foundation of the true history of this world and answers to the most troubling questions humans can raise, such as why there is death and suffering in the world.
God has raised up two ministries to cope with Satan’s most successful strategy (evolution), so make sure you connect with and support Answers in Genesis, http://www.answersingenesis.org and Creation Ministries International, http://www.creation.com.
SOCIETIES BUILT ON THE PREMISE THAT LIFE IS AN ACCIDENT
Extreme cruelty, gross injustice, and disregard for the life of individuals characterise regimes that believe life is an accident. Examples include Hitler’s National Socialism, Stalin’s Soviet Socialism, and their nauseatingly numerous socialist offspring. Many socialists mistakenly believe that science can show that life evolved by accident.
Sadly, universities and schools teach our children that evolution is fact and that this cosmos came about by a Big Bang and random chance evolution. As a result, lavishly funded TV spectaculars portray the evolution of life as “scientific”, but it is not. It cannot be subjected to the scientific method as its assumed processes are not observable. Darwin insisted his theory could not explain the origin of life but claimed it did explain the lesser problem of how species could have become increasingly complex. Since Darwin’s time, however, the expected mass of transitions to more and more complex species has been absent from the fossil record. More importantly, Dr Michael Behe recently discovered organelles driving the flagellum of a bacterium that meet Darwin’s own criteria for falsifying his theory. Mainstream media has hardly mentioned this, and the educational establishment has ignored it because they will not consider the supernatural. Regardless of the evidence, if it is not natural/materialistic, it is not science.
Fake news also disparages those who accept the scientific evidence for intelligent design of life. Yet they include science luminary Sir Fred Hoyle and Dr Paul Davies who discovered the fine tuning of the universe, renowned microbiologist Dr Dean Kenyon who renounced his celebrated evolutionary work “Biochemical Predestination” to accept intelligent design, Dr Michael Behe who wrote the landmark work “Darwin’s Black Box”, notorious Oxford Professor Anthony Flew who renounced atheism in his book “There is a God”, the brilliant Oxford mathematician Professor John Lennox, mathematician Dr William Dembski who authored “The Design Inference”, and information scientists Dr Lee Spetner and Dr Michael Hasofar who were the first to publish quantified evidence against evolution of species in the world’s leading peer-reviewed “Journal of Theoretical Biology”.
Evolution has been our enemy, Satan’s best strategy, but he realises that its time is over, and he already has his final strategy in place: Aliens. Richard Dawkins, one of the atheists’ most celebrated authors, when argued into a corner on intelligent design, blurted out, “Well, if it’s intelligent design, it must have come from outer space.” Demons are already representing themselves to gullible people as aliens, as good guys, come to save us. These stories are coming to us from people who have experience with UFOs. According to an ABC News poll conducted in 2000, “nearly half of all Americans and millions more globally believe we’re not alone […] 40 million Americans say they have seen or know someone who has seen an unidentified flying object, or UFO,
Look at the many movies and games that feature aliens. Young people are being set up to embrace demons when they manifest as good aliens.
In Gary Bates’s book on Aliens, he provides evidence that these creatures posing as aliens are, in fact, demons. Whenever a person commanded them to go in the name of Jesus, they immediately departed.
Are you ready for all that will proceed Jesus’s return to restore righteousness? The bible gives us a lot of information on the last seven years before Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist at the battle of Armageddon. If you are new to this blog, then you can go back over previous posts to find out where we are at in terms of Biblical end times prophecy.
WHY MOST PEOPLE WILL FACE THE SOON COMING WRATH OF GOD
A new survey has found that more than half of Americans do not believe God exists or that He “affects lives,” prompting one prominent researcher to highlight the need for “sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal.”
The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released the second installment of its American Worldview Inventory 2025 on Wednesday.
The research found that overall, 60% of Americans do not believe God exists or that He “affects lives.” Nearly half of self-identified Christians (47%) and a slightly smaller share of theologically identified born-again Christians (40%) said the same.
The Bible begins with the statement. ” In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth“. Genesis 1:1. God’s existence is assumed, self-evident. In Psalm 14:1 we are told, “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They acted corruptly; they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” Here we see that the Bible connects corrupt thoughts about God – especially about denying His very existence – with corrupt morals. And it is true that if there is no God, no Creator who sets the rules, then we are set adrift morally.
So few believe God exists because of the promotion of evolution. A Creator is not necessary. This is why God has raised Creation Ministries International (http://www.creation.com) and Answers in Genesis (http://www.answersingenesis.org), two of the main ministries God has raised up to defend the Bible as inerrant and its history accurate.
Among Americans who believe that God exists and “affects lives,” a plurality (38%) defined God as the “most important element” in their lives, while 23% described God as “extremely important” in their lives, and 18% characterized God as having a “very important” influence on their lives.
Fourteen percent of respondents who believe in God agreed that He was “somewhat important” in their lives, while 5% considered God either “not too” important or “not at all” important. The remaining 3% placed their views on God’s influence in their lives into the category of “it varies.”
Just 20% of “those who believe the God of the Bible exists and affects lives” told pollsters they had “an intimate and interactive spiritual relationship with Him, with constant two-way communication.” Another 45% classified their relationship with God as “close,” defined by frequent prayer and trust in Him to “do what is best and right.”
Eleven percent of those surveyed identified their relationship with God as “arms-length,” while 18% said, “He exists and is capable of all things, but do not have a personal, interactive ‘relationship’ with Him.”
The remaining 7% of respondents remained uncertain whether or not He interacts with people and did not “know how to describe their relationship with Him.” One-third (33%) of “those who believe the God of the Bible exists and affects lives” defined God as having a “total” influence over their lives and choices, while another third (33%) reported that He had “a lot” of influence on their lives, which “often” reflected His guidance.
This is undoubtedly the reason Jesus tells us that just before He returns, many will fall away when tribulation comes.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:9-12
WHY THE BIBLE’S HISTORY IS SO IMPORTANT?
Because the history in Genesis 1–11 is the foundation for everything, and it has a totally different account of origins than what young people hear at schools, universities, and nearly everywhere else, they have questions about the Bible’s history that need answers. They need to know that the Bible’s history is trustworthy. Evolution has been one of Satan’s best strategies to destroy belief in God’s word. We need the basic answers for the history in Genesis 1–11 because the devil wants to cause people to doubt and not believe this history because it is foundational to the Gospel message. In fact, Biblical history is foundational to all doctrine, to marriage, to gender, the origin of sin, pain and death and how to deal with racism, abortion, and the environment, just as it is foundational to the saving gospel message.
Creation in seven days is fundamental to how we need to live. God made it clear in His commandments:
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it, you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” Exodus 20:8-11
The Fall: a once-perfect world is cursed by God, and sin and death enter the world because Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command. They were deceived by a fallen angel, Satan, who is now the prince of this world and with his minions. other fallen angels continue to deceive the world.
Nephilim: Genesis 6:1–4 tells us that the Nephilim, which means “fallen ones,” were the product of copulation between divine beings (i.e., sons of God) and human women (i.e., daughters of Adam). The “sons of God” as referring to angels seems to be the most consistent interpretation of this phrase. The expression sons of God is employed in antithesis to daughters of men; it is clear that the former pertains to beings outside the human sphere. The Nephilim are known as great warriors and Biblical giants (see Ezekiel 32:27 and Numbers 13:33). This is the main reason why God had to destroy all human and hybrid angel/human life on Earth.
Noah’s Flood was a worldwide flood that destroyed all but the eight humans and the animals, insects, and birds that were on the Ark. The apostle Peter tells us that before Jesus returns, people will deny Biblical history about creation and the worldwide flood of Noah’s day. Biblical prophecy is once again being confirmed.
“For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of the water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these, the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.“ 2 Peter 3:5-7
God created the nations by confusing their language because the people were disobedient to His command to multiply and cover all the Earth. The world has not been able to come up with a reasonable explanation for the nations and their languages, yet they totally reject God as the miraculous source.
“Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there… Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth… And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do… Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city (Babel). ” Genesis 11:7-8
God created a nation, Israel, to fulfil His purposes on Earth. Much of the Old Testament is about God’s interaction with His nation and the prophets that God appointed. These prophets are all told that a Messiah would arise to lead and save the nation. Even before Israel went into the Promised Land, Moses told them their entire history, including their being cast out of the land and scattered throughout the world.
“And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and He will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.“ Deuteronomy 30:1-3
“And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.” Deuteronomy 30:5-6
The Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7) is the promise that God made to David that David’s heir would sit on the throne of Israel. Jesus is that heir, but He has yet to take His physical, political birthright.
The New Covenant: It outlines the promise that Israel as a nation will return to God and worship their Messiah. These covenants will be fulfilled during the 1000-year reign.
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke… For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Jeremiah 31:31-33
All of the O.T. is about this coming Messiah, JESUS. Biblical end-time prophecies are playing out in our day, so we know Jesus’ return to Earth is not too far off. Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom.
FAILED PREDICTIONS OF EVOLUTION
Evolutionists often claim that they have made many successful predictions that show evolution is true. However, the many failed predictions prove the theory is without valid functionality. Random chance will not produce complex functioning organisms.
In this video, Dr. Don Batten covers five major failed predictions across cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
Eminent scientists like Dr. Dean Kenyon (former Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University and the author of two evolutionary biochemistry textbooks) said the discovery of DNA (complex information) and the electron microscope that revealed complex machines inside every living cell rang the “death knell” of evolution. You can hear his incredible testimony on Youtube: https://youtu.be/jrXf8KCJLMg.
PARADIGMS OF ORIGINS
The design of the DNA of a simple cell is much more complex than we see in the development of the latest supercomputers. How do we explain that simple fact with the evolution paradigm? It is impossible. The Genesis paradigm is the only one that can explain the evidence.
Philosopher of Science, Paul Nelson compares the way a supercomputer works, compared to a bacterial cell, and then explores the countless things any paradigm of origins must necessarily explain. After Dr. Paul Nelson received his BA in philosophy with a minor in evolutionary biology from the University of Pittsburgh, he entered the University of Chicago, where he received his PhD (1998) in the philosophy of biology and evolutionary theory. He is a philosopher of biology who has been involved in the intelligent design debate internationally for over two decades.
MUTATIONS ARE KILLING US NOT CREATING US!
Dr Don Batten of Creation Ministries is well qualified to discuss this subject, and he clearly demonstrates that mutations are a loss of information. Mutations do not add information to the genome, so they cannot create “you from goo.” The video is not long, so make sure you use it to challenge your evolutionary-minded family members and friends.
All of the evidence of DNA (complex information) and the genome point to an intelligent designer. Random chance is not a reasonable explanation for the complexity and design evident in human life. There is a God and He reveals Himself to us in many ways but the most revealing way was through His Son Jesus Christ.
““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
