I've often heard that science is capable of proving anything. Is this really true? Does science have no limits to it's deductive abilities? Sadly, there are some limits to what science and the scientific method can do. Let's take a look at a few of them.

Answersingenesis.org just released a new, cutting edge, web 2.0 look.

This past weekend the Creation Museum opened it's doors in Petersburg Kentucky (just outside of Cincinnati).

Is abortion terrorism? The Catholic Archbishop Angelo Amato, secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said on Monday,

The Vatican's second-highest ranking doctrinal official on Monday forcefully branded homosexual marriage an evil and denounced abortion and euthanasia as forms of "terrorism with a human face." . . . . . . . . . .

After denouncing "abominable terrorism" such as that carried out by suicide bombers, he condemned what he called "terrorism with a human face," and accused the media of manipulating language "to hide the tragic reality of the facts."

"For example, abortion is called 'voluntary interruption of pregnancy' and not the killing of a defenseless human being, an abortion clinic is given a harmless, even attractive, name: 'centre for reproductive health' and euthanasia is blandly called 'death with dignity'," he said in his address.

Growing up like many other Christians in America I learned about creation at Church and the "Big Bang" at school. Since these two ideals are mutually exclusive and I was a nice boy I never wanted to dig into what they both said because my faith might get torn down. A few years ago I decided that I needed to dig into what they both really said, what that meant, how they played out, and who were the people supporting each side. What I found surprised me. When it came to the "Big Bang" I learned that I don't sign up for what it actually says. So, it's not a matter of creation over the "Big Bang" but that I don't agree with the "Big Bang". Let me try to explain...

When it comes to greenhouse gases the conversation usually turns to cars and the whole automotive industry. But, what if I were to tell you that the average US home is responsible for twice the greenhouse gas production as the average car. Why is this? Electricity production. Over half of our electricity is from coal.

Now, we can call for energy companies to come up with and use cleaner methods to create our electricity. But, this leaves me wondering what we all can do as individuals. Enter 18seconds.org with something we can do.

Yesterday James Camerons The Lost Tomb aired. For those who don't know James Camerons video tries show that we have the tomb of Jesus Christ. I'm not talking about the empty tomb from the bible but the final resting place of Jesus.

Now, this is something that archaeologists won't sign up for and a tomb that has been known about for 27 years.

I won't go into details on proving this wrong. I'll leave that up to experts Dr. Paul Maier and Dr. Jeffery Kloha. You can read their responses here and here respectively.

After writing about why "Christians Shouldn't Care About Global Warming" I wanted to continue with what Christians should care about.

Ah, the environment. Caring about the environment often gets people labeled as Hippies. Choosing to use cloth diapers rather than disposable gets people looked at as weird. Buying that super environmentally friendly car will have people saying they should move to California where all the other environmental wackos live. And, a lot of the people saying these things are those bible thumping Christians.

But, what does the bible say Christians should do when it comes to the environment? The first thing I can find in the bible is all the way back in Genesis 2. Genesis 2 tackles that 6th day of creation and zooms in on the creation of man. In Genesis 2:15 it says, "The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and care for it." Right after God made man he gave him a job to care for His creation.

That's right. You did just read that. Christians shouldn't care about global warming. Before I get any hate comments, hate emails, or a "friendly visit" at my home let my try to explain.

Let's start with the qualifier I put at the front of that very non-PC statement. This is for Christians. If your not a Christian, this doesn't apply. You can go about your regularly scheduled business. If you think I've gone off the deep end or are thinking this is another reason to not like Christianity or Christians keep reading.

This morning I stepped outside and proceeded to freeze. I knew it was cold but had no idea how cold. On the drive into work I listened to the school closings. Virtually every school in Metro Detroit is closed. Then, on the radio, they read the temperature. -4 degrees with the wind chill into the negative twenties.

According to weather.com today we had a record low for February 5th. The weather reports expect a high temperature in the low teens. It's cold outside.
