What are the Scope and Limits of Science?
How much can science discover? Are there boundaries to science? Are there truths, real truths, beyond science?
Arguing God from Natural Theology?
From biblical times to Darwin, natural theology tried to detect and discern God by seeing and sensing His presence in the world-the world alone, without revelation. But after Darwin’s theory of evolution, natural theology was rejected, even ridiculed. Why, now, its surprising revival?
Wondering About God
The God debate is not a game. Is there a God? If so, what are God’s essences and traits? What are all the ways that God could be? Or could not be? We discover different beliefs of different kinds of Gods.
Arguing God from Being
I’m obsessed by raw existence, which science can never explain. Does this mean that there is a God? I wish it were that simple. Yet some claim that a ‘Most Perfect Being’ must exist.
What is the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe?
Galaxies and clusters of galaxies, untold billions of them, adorn the cosmos. How did such large-scale structure of the universe come about?
What is the Far Far Future of the Universe?
When we speak about the future of the universe, we mean when the sun burns out, when galaxies collide, when everything flies apart and ultimately evaporates.

Some say that science and theology together reveal deep reality. Others say that only science makes sense; theology is myth. Which is it? Science alone? Or science and theology combined?
Does ESP Reveal Spirit Existence?
Parapsychologists are sure ESP is real. Skeptics are sure it is not. But if ESP is real, would ESP need to go beyond physical laws, reaching into unknown non-physical realms?
Solutions to the Mind-Body Problem?
Are human beings purely physical? Evolved at random and destined to die, extinguished forever? Or are we something more? A spirit or a soul, with existence beyond? What’s the relationship between our brains and our consciousness, between the stuff in our skulls and the essence in our minds?
What’s Wrong with Immortal Souls?
Do human beings have immortal souls? Science dismisses anything nonphysical, and even some theologians reject immortal souls. But if no immortal souls, what happens to eternal life?
What is the Mind-Body Problem?
How is it possible that mushy masses of brain cells, passing chemicals and shooting sparks, literally are mental sensations and subjective feelings? They seem so radically different.
Do Persons have Souls?
Is the “Real You” a special substance that is both nonphysical and immortal? Most people think “Certainly”. Most scientists think “Certainly Not”. What some theologians think may trouble you.
