I'm a Bible-believing, weightlifting, cancer-surviving, PhD astrophysicist. I'm currently writing an astronomy-themed devotional, available December 2026.

I didn't expect the correct answer to win, and it didn't. Most of you probably used sound reasoning to arrive at 'stellar nebula' as the term we use for the remnant of a dead low-mass star, but that is incorrect. The answer is planetary nebula. Why planetary nebula? Because when…
POP QUIZ! What do astronomers call the blown-off remnant of a dying small-to-medium star like the Sun? If you don't know, just guess. Answer given tomorrow.

Joel said something that's making the rounds, and I wanted to quote-post it, but he's blocked me. I checked past interactions to see if I'd said anything directly to him – I hadn't. He replied to something I posted in 2022, but I never noticed, likely because he blocked me…
Our creativity in designing worlds will never match God's. I watch a lot of sci-fi like Star Wars and Star Trek, and all the imaginative places we see in these shows are like, "It's a desert world!" "It's a forest world!" "It's an ice world!" These single-biome planets are…
Someone sent me this recently from Facebook. I love that my testimony continues to inspire people. This is from Lee Strobel's book, Is God Real?: Exploring the Ultimate Question of Life. If you'd like to read my testimony, go to the link in my profile and click on the About tab.
I first read Gerald Schroeder's book, The Science of God, a year or two after becoming a theist. I then spent the next few years studying Genesis 1 – including the original Hebrew, medieval commentaries, and the math and science of Schroeder's claims – and became convinced it's…
Christians, Do you believe Genesis chapter 1 is literal history or metaphorical?
While Einstein is most famous for relativity – his general theory of relativity was his crowning achievement and what made him an overnight sensation – he actually got the Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect. Einstein showed that light does sometimes act like a particle…

Saturn and its moon, Titan, as imaged in true color by the Cassini spacecraft. If we lived in a proper world, this would be a prog rock album cover. As a kid in the 80s who loved prog rock, I couldn't have imagined such a view. But I can now imagine how the Cassini mission…
The greatest anti-truth is that God doesn't exist. Anti-truth is a great term for this, because so much - personally, politically, culturally, physically, and emotionally - that flows from it is devastating to human beings.
I don't know if it's a real word but I use the term 'anti-truth' to describe things that aren't merely lies, but the opposite of the truth.
It's hard to fathom that our nearest major galactic neighbor is 2.5 million light-years away. This is the tip of the distance iceberg. The scale of the observable universe is staggering. And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who…
