A New Educational Club

[email protected] is a new educational Club headquartered in SaddleBrooke, Arizona with a worldwide web audience dedicated to exploring the “Big Questions of Life.”

Online video podcasts and live presentations will stimulate our “thinking deeply” in the spirit of Socrates who famously challenged us to “Know thyself – the unexamined life is not worth living.”

Overview Go To Videocasts

Where did I come from?

Am I the result of impersonal unguided forces of nature, or a special creation of God?

Where Am I Going?

When I die does my life end at the grave, or do I have a soul that goes on to eternal life?

Why Am I Here?

Is the meaning of my life only what I can make out of it, or do I have a God-ordained purpose?

Socrates

Athens, Greece. 5th century B.C.

Socrates is considered by many to be the father of Western philosophy and legal reasoning. He sought wisdom by humbly questioning everything and logically following the path of inquiry wherever it led. If evidence wasn’t there, or wasn’t strong enough to reach a conclusion, he remained skeptical.

About Us

The School of Athens fresco in the Vatican by Raphael, 1509 A.D. The fresco represents the greatest philosophers and scientists from classical antiquity gathered together sharing their ideas and learning from each other. These figures all lived at different times, but here they are gathered together under one roof.

Did the Judeo-Christian Worldview Give Birth
to Modern Science?

The Apostle Paul, the inspired author of the majority of the New Testament, lectures to the Greek philosophers in Athens on Mars Hill (1st century A.D.), revealing to them that there is a Supreme Creator God – “in Him we live and move and have our being … for we are His offspring” (Acts 17:28).

Whereas the School of Athens represents that truth is discovered through human reasoning, Paul represents that truth is given by God through revelation. Reason and revelation (natural and special) can work well together. They are not inherently adversarial. Western civilization and modern science are products of the agreements and inevitable tensions between the two.

Historians acknowledge that Aristotle was the first to give us a scientific methodology, but it was the Christian worldview that gave birth to modern science in the 17th century. With the invention of the telescope Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Newton, among many others, studied the heavens motivated by their conviction that God created the heavens and the earth.
