Christ as Logos: A New Transcendental Argument

  Introduction “In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” — John 1:1 For centuries, philosophers and theologians have sought to explain why reality is intelligible, ordered, and discoverable — and what ultimate foundation accounts for this remarkable structure. Many traditional arguments for God’s existence appeal to contingency, design, morality, or causation. While these have their strengths, they often rely on probabilistic reasoning or features of the world that skeptics can contest as contingent or emergent. This project takes a different path. A New Approach: Starting with the Undeniable Rather than beginning with what is contingent, I begin with what is inescapable : the universal logical constraint of reality. Across every domain — physics, chemistry, biology, information — reality never violates the principles of logic. The laws of identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle are not mere mental constructs; they ...

The Great Faith Traditions — and a Recent Newcomer: Evolutionism

Across history and cultures, people have sought to answer the great questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? What happens next? In response, humanity has formed what we call the great faith traditions — enduring frameworks of trust and devotion that orient lives around what is ultimate. Faith is not the exclusive domain of temples or churches. It simply describes where we place our deepest trust. For many, that trust rests in a personal Creator, a divine order, or transcendent justice. For others, it rests in the creative sufficiency of nature itself — an idea that has emerged more explicitly in recent centuries. Crucially, each of these traditions is supported by its own philosophical grounding, and each ultimately depends on an Entity to explain and sustain reality: a God, a universal principle, a spiritual order, or a conceptual force. Interestingly, the history of Christianity itself illustrates how faith commitments are sometimes named and recognized first by outsiders....

ATGC Spells Designer: Code Implies a Coder

Biological life runs on digital code. Not metaphorically. Literally. DNA uses a four-letter alphabet (A, T, G, C) to encode instructions. It operates as a symbolic, context-sensitive language with syntax, semantics, data compression, error correction, and functional output. It's software running on carbon-based hardware. Where else do we see systems like this? Only where intelligence is behind them. You don’t get operating systems from sandstorms. You don’t get semantic information from chemistry alone. Molecules don’t arrange themselves into executable programs without input from a mind. Evolution tries to bridge this with blind processes: replication, mutation, and selection. But it only works if the system is already running. It can’t explain the origin of code. At some point, you need a compiler. The origin of DNA’s symbolic system is the naturalist’s unsolved problem. The design inference is not about gaps—it’s about positive, testable, causally sufficient explanation. Intelli...

The Power of Historical Particularity: Answering “Which God?”

The skeptic’s favorite gotcha question rolls off the tongue with practiced ease: “Which God?” It’s deployed like a conversational checkmate, meant to reduce religious conviction to arbitrary preference. After all, if there are thousands of deities across human history, what makes any one claim more valid than another? But this challenge, for all its apparent sophistication, rests on a flawed premise. It treats all religious claims as equivalent abstractions, ignoring both the concrete reality of historical impact and the deeper ontological transformation that underlies it. The most effective response isn’t to litigate theology or comparative religion—it’s to point to what actually happened to reality itself. The One That Gave Matter Meaning When someone asks “which God?” the answer can be startlingly simple: the one that divided history and gave matter meaning. That One. This isn’t primarily about historical influence, though that influence is undeniable. It’s about ontological t...
