Review by Arthur G. Schwarz of the book “The DNA Question: Where Does the Information Come From?"

How are beaches originated? How long do they take to form?

At the time of the writing of this article the earth remains the only place in the universe where humans have been able to empirically detect life and its signatures. Why is it so? Is the earth special?

Laboratory abiogenesis is one of the ultimate goals of experimental biology. The most formidable barrier to create living matter in the laboratory is not the complexity of the cell, rather the absolute requirement for non-equilibrium steady state for all chemical reactions. Current synthetic biology technologies cannot yet produce cells, which harbor chemical systems in non-equilibrium steady-states.

Do science and theology undermine each other or support each other?

One often hears of conflict between religion and science or that creationists are anti-science. This article rejects such mindsets and presents another perspective about looking for the good even in people we may disagree with.

What should a Christian’s view of natural selection be? Is it an invention? Is it nature’s great creative force? Is it good? Is it natural?

Historic moments in the conversation about beginnings

Why am I conscious of my purpose?

Why creation care matters for Bible believers

Nature and history acquire a grander perspective from the vantage point of the Bible, and Scripture becomes more colorful and alive with the help of natural revelation. Published on volume 26/2 of the Perspective Digest.

Science is most powerful when its limitations in understanding the complexity of nature are recognized. Newtonian physics has been a powerful tool for understanding nature for hundreds of years and is still an essential part of any physics class, but it has its limitations in understanding complex systems, so more is needed.

How do we deal with persons who don’t believe that Genesis is right about creation and the flood?

Fossils and the rocks in which they are contained are an excellent platform for discussing origins from a biblical perspective, especially in relation to the design and complexity of ancient life and the worldwide destruction caused by Noah’s Flood.

An understanding of both the strengths and the limits of science can enable us to relate to it more realistically. Published on Volume 26/1 of the Perspective Digest

New study of neuronal diversification reveals the complexity of the gut's brain

It is not the level of detail that makes a science book scientific, but simply whether or not the level of detail given in the book is scientifically correct

Climatic effects of the impact and volcanism scenarios for the extinction of dinosaurs are investigated in a modelling paper.
