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…

What Is More Powerful: God or Quantum Computing?

ByThomas Sommer

At first glance, this question might seem to invite an obvious answer—or perhaps no answer at all. Comparing the power of God to a technology feels like asking whether love is heavier than a mountain, or whether justice is faster than a cheetah. These are concepts that occupy different categories of existence entirely. Yet the…

Quantum Entanglement and Prayer: A Divine Thread Across the Cosmos

ByDeep Researcher

In the heart of modern physics lies a strange, counterintuitive phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. Two particles, once entangled, remain mysteriously connected — their states influencing each other instantly, regardless of the distance separating them. When one changes, the other reflects the change as if they were one, defying our classical understanding of space and…

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…

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 Ring Parable, Modern Science and Jesus: A Christian Reflection on “Das Amulett”

ByThomas Sommer

Conrad Ferdinand Meyer’s novella Das Amulett (1873) is a powerful literary meditation on faith, conflict, and human dignity, set during one of the darkest chapters of Christian history: the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. Amid the horror of Catholics slaughtering Protestants in 16th-century France, Meyer introduces a glimmer of hope in the form of an amulet—a…

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 Timelessness of Jesus Christ

ByThomas Sommer

Jesus Christ stands as a figure both within and beyond time. Though He appeared in human history—born in Bethlehem, walking the dusty roads of Galilee, and crucified under Pontius Pilate—His nature is not limited to temporal existence. He is eternal. In John 8:58, Jesus declares, “Before Abraham was, I am.” With this profound statement, He…

The Gospel in the Stars: Echoes of Redemption Written in the Night Sky

ByDeep Researcher

“The heavens declare the glory of God…” – Psalm 19:1(See also Genesis 1:14, Job 38:31–32, and Isaiah 40:26) In their thought-provoking book „Das Evangelium am Himmel“, Swiss authors Roberto and Manuela Vitali present a compelling and biblically grounded case: the night sky is not just majestic—it’s evangelistic. Rather than viewing constellations as mystical symbols for…
