Ex Nihilo Nihil: Nothing, Creation, and the God Who Makes All Things New

ByThomas Sommer

Introduction The ancient axiom ex nihilo nihil fit—”from nothing, nothing comes”—stands as one of the most enduring principles in the history of Western thought. First articulated by Parmenides and later refined by Lucretius, Aristotle, and countless others, this principle asserts that being cannot emerge from non-being, that every effect requires a cause, that the universe…

Walking in the Spirit and Not in the Flesh: A Reflection in Light of Modern Science

ByThomas Sommer

In the pages of Scripture, the Apostle Paul presents a profound contrast between two ways of living: “walking in the Spirit” and “walking in the flesh” (Galatians 5:16–26; Romans 8:1–14). While these concepts were penned almost two millennia ago, they resonate deeply even in our modern, science-driven age. As we explore these timeless truths, we…

From Matter to Spirit: Are They Completely Separated or Entangled Like in Quantum Physics?

ByDeep Researcher

In the quest to understand reality, humanity has often drawn a line between the material and the spiritual. Matter is seen as physical, measurable, and governed by the laws of nature. Spirit, on the other hand, is often considered immaterial, invisible, and elusive to scientific investigation. But is this dualism justified? Or might there be…

Quantum Entanglement and the Christian Faith: Insights from the Deep Structure of Reality

ByDeep Researcher

In the early 20th century, quantum physics revolutionized our understanding of the universe, revealing a world that behaves in ways radically different from classical expectations. One of the most astonishing phenomena discovered is quantum entanglement—a mysterious connection between particles that allows them to affect one another instantaneously, even across vast distances. Einstein famously called it…

The Beginning of the Universe and the Christian Faith: A Dialogue Between Science and Belief

ByDeep Researcher

The question of how the universe began has captivated scientists, philosophers, and theologians for centuries. Modern cosmology, through the Big Bang theory, presents a scientific model suggesting that the universe had a definite beginning around 13.8 billion years ago, from a singularity—a point of infinite density and temperature. This concept, though grounded in mathematical physics,…

A Comparison of Goethe’s Worldview and the Christian Worldview in John 14:6

ByThomas Sommer

The contrast between Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s worldview and the Christian worldview, particularly as expressed in John 14:6, highlights two fundamentally different perspectives on truth, human purpose, and the nature of salvation. Goethe, the German poet, scientist, and philosopher of the Enlightenment and Romantic era, developed a humanistic and nature-centered view of life. In contrast,…

Redemption and Salvation Without God’s Power: A Fallacy

ByThomas Sommer

The idea that humanity can achieve redemption and salvation apart from the power of God is a dangerous and deceptive fallacy. While human efforts toward moral reform, justice, and societal progress may seem noble, they fall drastically short of addressing the root problem of the human condition: sin. According to the Christian worldview, and as…

The Gap Between Modern Science And Christian Theology

ByThomas Sommer

The gap between modern science and Christian theology has long been a subject of both conflict and dialogue. This divide often stems from differing methodologies, worldviews, and sources of authority. However, rather than being irreconcilable, science and theology can be understood as complementary approaches to truth, each offering unique insights into the nature of reality….
