Spring 2010 Frequency Magazine

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:45 MST

While the scientific community and Christianity often disagree, you may be surprised to hear that many scientists and Scripture are not at odds. The latest edition of Frequency Magazine challenges us to consider, "Evolution…really?" We'll take a look at the teleological argument for the existence of God in Skip Heitzig's article, "The Design and the Designer," and hear some surprising quotes in "A Few Things Darwin Wishes Weren't Published," by Chip Lusko. The publication of the KNKT (107.1) and M88 (88.3) also includes a look at "The Real-Time Web" and a profile of John MacArthur. You'll also appreciate the updated KNKT Program Guide, a look at the top 8 bands on M88, and more!

Be sure to pick up your free copy of the Spring 2010 Frequency Magazine this weekend in the East Foyer, or throughout the week in the Connection Communications building located adjoining the HUB. You may also download or view the magazine online.

March Connection Resource

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00 MST

Today, much of the scientific world rejects the idea that the universe was designed by an intelligent Creator. The Connection has put together resources that will help you understand the battle for truth and establish a Biblical view concerning the origin of the universe. In the controversial film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," writer/actor Ben Stein seeks to end suppression of thinking outside of the evolutionary box, and asks the question "Why is no intelligence allowed in today's classrooms?"

Also included in this month's offer is "In the Beginning," by Skip Heitzig. In this new Life Style booklet, Skip examines the Genesis account of creation, and contrasts it with the teaching of evolution which denies the existence of God.
