Algunas personas dicen que los milagros son solo coincidencias, otros dicen que son imposibles, pero Lee Strobel se ha propuesto determinar el caso de los milagros hoy, entrevistando a escépticos y creyentes a la vez, para determinar el rol de los milagros en nuestra fe cristiana.

¿Cómo diferenciar entre un milagro y una coincidencia?

Un científico escéptico calculó que la persona promedio puede esperar ¡un millón de coincidencias cada mes!

¿Cómo los cristianos responden a la insistencia de los nuevos ateos de que los milagros son imposibles? ¿La ciencia supera a lo sobrenatural?

Con su enfoque periodístico único, el exateo Lee Strobel entrevista a escépticos y creyentes sobre cada una de las facetas de los milagros. Viaja a China para investigar reportes de milagros asociados con la expansión del evangelio. Cuenta la historia de un famoso erudito evangélico cuya teología ha sido cuestionada por los aparentes milagros que no puede explicar.

Después de leer este libro, los lectores podrán

• Creer que los milagros son reales, y que no fueron relegados a tiempos bíblicos solamente.

• Entender la diferencia entre coincidencia, suerte y milagro.

• Ganar un mayor entendimiento de los milagros alrededor del mundo y el impacto que están teniendo en la expansión del evangelio.

Named one of the top books of 2009 by the Times Literary Supplement (London), this controversial and compelling audiobook from Dr. Stephen C. Meyer presents a convincing new case for intelligent design (ID), based on revolutionary discoveries in science and DNA. Along the way, Meyer argues that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution as expounded in The Origin of Species did not, in fact, refute ID. If you enjoyed Francis Collins’s The Language of God, you’ll find much to ponder–about evolution, DNA, and intelligent design–in Signature in the Cell.

Rigid adherence to scientism–as opposed to a healthy respect for science–is all too prevalent in our world today. Rather than leading to a deeper understanding of our universe, this worldview actually undermines real science and marginalizes morality and religion.

In this book, celebrated philosopher J. P. Moreland exposes the self-defeating nature of scientism and equips us to recognize scientism’s harmful presence in different aspects of culture, emboldening our witness to biblical Christianity and arming us with strategies for the integration of faith and science–the only feasible path to genuine knowledge.

C. S. Lewis is best known for his Narnia tales and Christian apologetics, works that have sold more than 100 million copies. But Lewis was also a trained philosopher and a professor at Cambridge and Oxford. An intellectual giant, he fiercely and extensively critiqued the fashionable dogma known as scientism–the idea that science is the only path to knowledge, and matter the fundamental reality.

Michael Aeschliman’s The Restoration of Man ably surveys Lewis’s eloquent case against this dogma and situates him among the many other notable thinkers who have entered the fray over this crucial issue. Aeschliman shows why Lewis’s case for the human person as more than matter–as a creature with inherent rationality and worth–is a precious resource for restoring and preserving our culture’s sanity, wisdom, and moral order.

One of the most compelling and authoritative rebuttals of evolution today, Evolution Impossible shows listeners

how fossils are evidence of extinction, not evolution;why mutations never produce new genetic information;how the lack of transitional fossils undermines secular timelines; andwhy living cells and new classes of organisms don’t form by chance.

Using recent discoveries in genetics, biochemistry, geology, radiometric dating, and other scientific disciplines, Dr. Ashton explains chapter by chapter in straightforward language twelve compelling reasons why Darwin’s theory of evolution is just a myth.

Taking the evidence refuting evolution to a new level with a wide-ranging analysis, this is a must-listen book for all students, Christian educators, scientists, and anyone eager to defend a biblical worldview.

Is evolution fact or fancy? Is natural selection an unsupported hypothesis or a confirmed mechanism of evolutionary change?

Darwin’s theory of evolution is accepted by most educated Americans as simple fact, but what if this idea is wrong? What if “evolution” is just a word that covers up scientific ignorance of how the wonders of the living world may have been created?

Berkeley law professor Phillip Johnson looks at the case for evolution with a lawyer’s cold, dispassionate eye for logic and proof. What he finds is that scientists have put the cart before the horse: they have prematurely accepted Darwin’s theory and have since been scrambling to back it up, mostly unsuccessfully. As the difficulties piled up, scientists have clung to the theory out of fear of encouraging religious fundamentalism, but in the process, they have turned Darwinism into a religion of its own.

Johnson’srelentless pursuit to follow the evidence wherever it leads remains as relevant today as it has ever been.

Drawing on a wealth of new evidence, pioneering research psychologist David DeSteno shows why religious practices and rituals are so beneficial to those who follow them–and to anyone, regardless of their faith (or lack thereof).

Scientists are beginning to discover what believers have known for a long time: the rewards that a religious life can provide. For millennia, people have turned to priests, rabbis, imams, shamans, and others to help them deal with issues of grief and loss, birth and death, morality and meaning. In this absorbing work, DeSteno reveals how numerous religious practices from around the world improve emotional and physical well-being.

With empathy and rigor, DeSteno chronicles religious rites and traditions from cradle to grave. He explains how the Japanese rituals surrounding childbirth help strengthen parental bonds with children. He describes how the Apache Sunrise Ceremony makes teenage girls better able to face the rigors of womanhood. He shows how Buddhist meditation reduces hostility and increases compassion. He demonstrates how the Jewish practice of sitting shiva comforts the bereaved. And much more.

DeSteno details how belief itself enhances physical and mental health. But you don’t need to be religious to benefit from the trove of wisdom that religion has to offer. Many items in religion’s “toolbox” can help the body and mind whether or not one believes. How God Works offers advice on how to incorporate many of these practices to help all of us live more meaningful, successful, and satisfying lives.

An instant bestseller from Templeton Prize–winning author Francis S. Collins, The Language of God provides the best argument for the integration of faith and logic since C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity.

It has long been believed that science and faith cannot mingle. Faith rejects the rational, while science restricts us to a life with no meaning beyond the physical. It is an irreconcilable war between two polar-opposite ways of thinking and living. Written for believers, agnostics, and atheists alike, The Language of God provides a testament to the power of faith in the midst of suffering without faltering from its logical stride. Readers will be inspired by Collin’s personal story of struggling with doubt, as well as the many revelations of the wonder of God’s creation that will forever shape the way they view the world around them.

A leading theologian presents a hopeful account of the universe after Einstein, exploring it as a meaningful drama of awakening.

Before the early twentieth century, scientists and theologians knew almost nothing about time’s enormity and the corresponding immensity of space. But after Einstein, cosmology offers theology a whole new way of looking at the ageless questions about matter, time, God, cosmic purpose, and the significance of our lives. The universe need no longer be thought of simply as an endless reshuffling of lifeless and mindless atoms in a pointless series of moments. Rather, the universe is a temporal drama of awakening whose meaning can be revealed only gradually by looking, in a spirit of anticipation and hope, toward the horizon of the cosmic future.

In conversation with Einstein’s ideas and opinions, John F. Haught develops here a new cosmological understanding of the meaning of God, time, eternity, mystery, life, thought, freedom, and faith. In doing so he offers readers a new way of understanding the relationship of science to theology.

From one of America’s best-known biologists, a revolutionary new way of thinking about evolution that shows “why, in light of our origins, humans are still special” (Edward J. Larson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Evolution).

Once we had a special place in the hierarchy of life on Earth–a place confirmed by the literature and traditions of every human tribe. But then the theory of evolution arrived to shake the tree of human understanding to its roots. To many of the most passionate advocates for Darwin’s theory, we are just one species among multitudes, no more significant than any other. Even our minds are not our own, they tell us, but living machines programmed for nothing but survival and reproduction.

In The Human Instinct, Brown University biologist Kenneth R. Miller “confronts both lay and professional misconceptions about evolution” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), showing that while evolution explains how our bodies and brains were shaped, that heritage does not limit or predetermine human behavior. In fact, Miller argues in this “highly recommended” (Forbes) work that it is only thanks to evolution that we have the power to shape our destiny.

Equal parts natural science and philosophy, The Human Instinct makes an “absorbing, lucid, and engaging…case that it was evolution that gave us our humanity” (Ursula Goodenough, professor of biology at Washington University in St. Louis).

In nearly all aspects of life, humans are crossing lines of no return.

Modern science is leading us into vast uncharted territory–far beyond the invention of nuclear weapons or taking us to the moon. Today, in labs all over the world, scientists are performing experiments that threaten to fundamentally alter the practical character and ethical color of our everyday lives.

In The End of Life as We Know It, bestselling author Michael Guillen takes a penetrating look at how the scientific community is pushing the boundaries of morality, including

scientists who detached the head of a Russian man from his crippled, diseased body, and stitching it onto a healthy new donated body; fertility experiments aimed at allowing designer babies to be conceived with the DNA from three or more biological parents; the unprecedented politicization of science–for example, in the global discussion about climate change that is pitting “deniers” against “alarmists” and inspiring Draconian legislation, censorship, and legal prosecutions; and the integration of Artificial Intelligence into communications and the economy.

The End of Life as We Know It takes us into laboratories and boardrooms where these troubling advances are taking place and asks the question no scientists seem to be asking: What does this mean for the future of humanity?

“The Light of Man” is a globally transformational story about God’s Relationship with Man and Man’s Relationship with God.

Over 90% of the world believes in God or a “higher power,” and yet we remain divided by traditional religious beliefs that keep us divided.

Nobody has ever met “God,” but after Moses “spoke” with God from the burning bush, he was filled with “Light.”

Science has spent years trying to disprove widely held religious beliefs and the existence of God or a “higher power” and yet with each attempt at disproving God’s existence, they only reinforce the existence of God or a “higher power.” On December 22, 2021, NASA launched one of the most expensive and advanced pieces of equipment into space, the James Webb Telescope with the intent of looking back into time, all the way back to the “Big Bang” or, as CBS’ 60 Minutes Columnist Scott Pelley stated, the “let there be light moment!” Simultaneously, the US Government is also spending billions of dollars on another ion collider, in order to conduct further research into the makeup of matter or the “Higgs Boson,” which is also known as “The God Particle.”

The “smartest” man known to mankind, Albert Einstein, famously said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” However, he has many quotes about Science and God. Such as, “When the solution is simple. God is answering.” And, “The more I study science, the more I believe in God.”

Did Einstein’s scientific journey bring him closer to God and a divine answer? Science, energy and light go hand in hand. What if the “Holy Spirit” as a part of the Holy Trinity is actually a tangible element of every living thing? What if the Muslim belief that Allah is in all living things is accurate?

What if mankind’s search for God or a higher power came to an end?

What if the answer has been right in front of us all along?

What if “God” is not a “he” or a “she,” but the actual “light of energy” that is the foundation of string theory and the unified field of all consciousness?

“The Light of Man” brings science, religion, history, spirituality, quantum physics, metaphysics and belief systems all together to create a pivot, a transformational moment in the world’s history and what people believe God or a “higher power” is!

One Day University presents a series of audio lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice. When we look at how the brain works, it looks like the brain is able to very easily engage in religious and spiritual practices, ideas, and experiences. All the brain scan studies that we’ve done show that there are multiple parts of the brain that seem to get involved. The brain is easily capable of having these experiences. Now exactly how that ability got into the brain is not only a much more complex question, both a philosophical and scientific one as well. Scientists might say it was through millions of years of evolution, and that because being religious or spiritual was an adaptive process, it got incorporated into the biological mechanisms of the brain. Religious individuals might say that if there is a God, that we would have a brain that’s capable of communicating to God, praying to God, doing the things that God needs us to do. In this talk, Professor Newberg will discuss how it does look like the brain, no matter how it got there, does have this profound ability to engage in religious and spiritual experiences. This is part of why we’ve seen religion and spirituality be a part of human history since the very dawn of civilization. This audio lecture includes a supplemental PDF.

This easy-to-understand book describes what happened to planet earth during and after the 371 days that Noah and seven others remained secure inside the ark. They left behind a one-continent world and landed in a newly-shattered world, the one great land mass having been ripped apart into the continents we know today. Stones and bones tell the story.
