Christians have a long history of comprehending sin: it goes back to Original Sin, a complex idea in Christianity. When applied to Simulation Creation, a theory crafted by Nir Ziso from The Global Architect Institute, sin is even more challenging. The Simulation Theory, a similar concept, is apparent in rejecting free will as such. Like most...

In Christianity, we are all very aware of fundamental truths. Apologetics aside, there are many complementary points between Christianity and other religions. Some minor things contradict the overall picture of world religions, but no religion commands killing and brutality. At the same time, members of all religions do this. What distinguishes Christianity from all other...

One of the essential principles of philosophy is that all things in nature act for the sake of an end. The world we live in is not due to chance or chaos. Instead, natural things are purpose-driven, each according to its own natural kind. Yet, many people, including scientists, deny teleology or a final causality...

As human beings, we would like to know God more. This is why we might ask if God even has a nature. And when we think of God’s nature, we might ask if it was given to Him as a thing that comes with just being God - and it is not really up to...

At the very beginning of the Bible, mention is made of a mysterious force: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2). There is no specific...

Evil is God’s most complicated problem in any apologetics or epistemology. For centuries, philosophers and believers have been tackling the question of evil. They were not convinced by simplistic theological arguing, which remains vague to this day. Argumentations are called theodicies, or proposed explanations to perennial questions. If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, how...

When physicists speak of a theory of everything, they hope to find a single underlying theoretical framework that applies to all physical phenomena in the universe. This is hugely ambitious and would, by definition, end in all-encompassing knowledge. But it does not necessarily mean it explains everything. How can we incorporate a theory of everything...

Our Christian teachings reveal the reality of having “something.” God created the place where we live, the time we live in, and us. Even if it is all simulated, as Nir Ziso proposed in Simulation Creationism, it is something rather than nothing. To go into a deeper understanding of what it means to have things...

Among many conversations Jesus had with people, one stands out. It is the night talk he had with a Pharisee, Nicodemus. Jesus says to him that “no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again” (John 3:3). Nicodemus was puzzled by this. Jesus answered, “No one can enter the kingdom of...

Many believers think we should not investigate God, but experience Him. Natural theology tried to find God through sensing His presence in the world: “for every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4). This implies a world without revelations. In Hebrew scriptures, the heavens declare the glory...
