Who are the most powerful people in the world today? If I had asked that question twenty years ago, you would not be wrong to list the leaders of the major superpowers like the United States, Russia, etc. In that context, power was broadly defined as both economic and military might.

There was a time once where writing (or typing) was the preferred medium of communication. It allowed for complete thoughts to be articulately drafted, meticulously checked, and then carefully crafted into its final form.

Some say that the first casualty of war is truth. Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding. — Isaac Newton

In our culture, faith is frowned on as mere imagination — the hopes and wishes of the common man. Evidence is what matters, we are told — and not just any form of evidence.

Calling all “Flat Earth Society” members! Don’t throw away your historical credentials! It now turns out that your perceptions may have been even more extensive than previously suspected! Not only the Earth, but the entire universe may be “flat.”

The lines between reality and imagination are blurring. The incredible advancement in technology is changing our mindsets and belief systems on a massive scale!

Why do we care about privacy anyway? If we have “nothing to hide,” why worry? We live in a world where almost everything is recorded in one way or another. Computers, cameras, and relentless recordkeeping turn our lives into a living novel that can be read by anyone—without even a search warrant in many cases.

As computing power has grown exponentially, so has the need for data storage. And the next leap is to DNA.

Epigenetics is one of the fastest-growing areas of biological research worldwide. It is upending long-held views about people, society and life.

Advances in technology have confirmed the growing suspicions that the linkage between DNA and what you see in the cell is not a one-to-one relationship: what you see in the DNA is not fully what you get in the creature.

Are we actually living in a holographic universe? Are the distant galaxies only a virtual illusion? In a hologram, distances are synthetic! How does this impact our concepts of time and space?

In coming years, soldiers who duck for cover—one of the oldest ploys in combat—will no longer be offered the sanctuary it has given in centuries past.

The remarkable possibility of widespread domestic use of 3D technology has tremendous potential to change the way in which goods are obtained, designed, and innovated.

Military analysts have often stated that the next war would be in space. In that regard, they were half right. Recent events are proving that the next war will actually be held in cyberspace.

The stakes have been raised in the ethical question: “Does it take a life to save a life?” The choice is ours—especially when one of those lives has no choice.

The concept of GMO is not new. The process of genetically modifying an organism (GMO) was formalized when Herbert Boyer founded the first company, Genentech.

In recent years, astonishing technological developments have pushed the frontiers of humanity toward far-reaching morphological transformation that promises in the very near future to redefine what it means to be human. What science has already done with genetically modifying plants and animals will soon apply to Homo sapiens.

In his 1922 science fiction novel, The Chess Men of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs describes a Mars whose inhabitants are so advanced that they prize contemplation above all and exist simply as heads. They have no need for oxygen or food and move using the bodies of headless creatures.

U.S. environmental groups are calling for a cessation of licensing agreements for nuclear power plants, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel ordered a halt to new reactor construction and the closing of some existing ones in the wake of the apparent meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima power plant.

God is the author of all life. It was He who created every kind of thing, living and non-living. He designed every living thing, using the building blocks of DNA. This begs the question, “Is it right for Man to be modifying God’s design with Genetic Engineering (GE)?”

Misuse of standard antibiotics has led to the rise of drug-resistant “super” bacteria. If antibiotics don’t quite kill off all the bacteria in their host, the most drug-resistant ones are left to reproduce after their kind, producing virulent strains that refuse to die through normal treatment. Typical drugs also kill the beneficial bacteria that bodies need to function well.

There is a groundswell movement within the scientific community to use science and technology as a means to reach the final frontier: escaping the hand of God, the sinful human condition, and even the final human arbiter, death. Impossible, you say? Yes, but such is the nature of deception, trading reality for fantasy.

We all have seen articles on the “missing matter” of the universe, and there continue to be substantial efforts to identify—or explain—this “dark matter,” or “dark energy” that has eluded astronomers attempting to understand the reality in which we find ourselves.

Previously, we explored the domain of the Macrocosm: the universe and the things that are larger than man. This month we will explore the Microcosm: the frontier of “smallness” known as Quantum Physics. How do you look at something smaller than a wavelength of light?

This is the first of a series on “the Boundaries of Our Reality”: an exploration of some of the most relevant discoveries of modern science and how they impact our Biblical perspectives, as we continue on our adventure within this interval between the miracle of our origin and the mystery of our destiny.

Contrary to media reports, intelligent design is not a religious-based idea, but instead an evidence-based scientific theory about life’s origins—one that challenges strictly materialistic views of evolution.

For the past seven years, a German experiment just south of Hanover—the GEO600—has been searching for gravitational waves: ripples in space-time thrown off by super-dense astronomical objects such as neutron stars and black holes. GEO600 has not detected any gravitational waves so far, but it might have inadvertently made the most important discovery in physics for half a century.

It’s possible that our energy policies have been founded on a myth.
