📢 Save The Date! Oct 10-11, 2025: Think Biblically! Conference 🔗 ➡️ Dr. Tai-Danae Bradley, a Research Mathematician at SandboxAQ, Visiting Research Professor of Mathematics at TMU, and Director of the Math3ma Institute, explores artificial intelligence, mathematics, and science through a biblical lens, emphasizing God’s sovereignty. Here are key highlights: A.I. relies on Cartesian coordinates to numerically represent real-world data like words, molecules, or images. Historical figures like Descartes, Pascal, Leibniz, and Turing shaped AI’s philosophical and mathematical foundations. Descartes and Pascal viewed machines as distinct from human thought, while Leibniz saw thought as symbolic manipulation. Turing redefined intelligence as problem-solving, influencing modern AI’s focus on practical outcomes. God’s sovereignty is reflected in the intelligible mathematical structure of creation, accessible to all (Romans 2:4). Large language models like ChatGPT use attention mechanisms to ass

📢 Save The Date! Oct 10-11, 2025: Think Biblically! Conference 🔗 As Christians, we’re quick to point out that humans have more worth than animals because we alone are made in the image of God. But if we’re made in God’s image, why do we have so many features in common with animals? Join Dr. McLain in discovering how to think biblically about the similarity between man and beast. ➡️ Dr. McLain explores human distinctiveness from a biblical perspective, emphasizing that humans, created in God’s image (Genesis 1), are distinct from animals, with dominion and no suitable animal counterpart for Adam. He contrasts this with secular views based on biological similarities, tracing historical perspectives from Aristotle’s hierarchy to Linnaeus’ mammal classification and modern genetics. McLain proposed a “common design paradigm” to explain similarities through a shared designer, ancestry, blueprint, events, or function, rejecting evolutionary explanations. McLain encourages Christians to engage

Conference 🔗 ➡️ In this session at the February 2025 conference, Prof. Green explores how the ultimate Creator, as revealed in Scripture, is a recurring theme in films across all genres, reflecting humanity’s inherent design as image-bearers of God. Prof. Green examines how media, particularly film, shapes cultural consciousness and worldviews. Grounded in a biblical perspective, he explains that humans uniquely create art as God’s image-bearers (Genesis 1:26-27), but fallen worldviews can distort its messages. Here are key insights: Media shapes cultural consciousness by creating shared perceptions of normalcy, morality, and truth. Humans, made in God’s image, are distinct from animals due to self-awareness, moral discernment, and the capacity to worship and create. Creativity reflects God’s nature (Genesis 1:1), but fallen humanity imbues art with worldviews that may not align with biblical truth. Every film carries a worldview—exis

📢 Save The Date! Oct 10-11, 2025: Think Biblically! Conference 🔗 The Incommensurable Among the Pagans: Divine Sovereignty over Classical Antiquity ➡️ Dr. Grant Horner, Professor of English, Renaissance, and Reformation. Founder & Director of the Master’s University in Italy. Director, Classical Liberal Arts Program. Alcuin Fellow in the Society for Classical Learning, John P. Stead School of Humanities ➡️ Classical pagan antiquity is often viewed as a spiritually fallen culture, yet a closer look reveals God’s presence woven throughout its literature, art, and philosophy. Though unaware, writers like Plato, Pliny, Lucretius, and Cicero reflect a suppressed knowledge of God that persists in later works, from Renaissance art to modern films. Scripture teaches that God’s order in nature points to Him (Romans 1:18-20), and human culture, as an extension of this order, does the same. Dr. Horner explores how God’s sovereignty shines through even in pagan contexts despite humanity’s rejection

📢 Save The Date! Oct 10-11, 2025: Think Biblically! Conference 🔗 Not Exhaustive But Comprehensive: How Scripture Frames Everything ➡️ Abner Chou is the President of The Master's University & Seminary and the John F. MacArthur Endowed Fellow. He is a Professor of Bible Exposition and Languages. ➡️ Dr. Chou explains how the Bible, as God’s comprehensive and authoritative Word, frames all aspects of life and human thought, rejecting the sacred-secular divide. While it does not address every technical detail, it provides the foundational context, truth, and wisdom necessary to understand and approach any discipline or subject matter. Only by thinking biblically can we gain the proper perspective, purpose, and effectiveness of our vocations, aligning our work with God’s eternal plan for His glory. Here are key points: Comprehensive Framework: The Bible doesn’t need to address every detail to be relevant; it frames all disciplines by providing context and foundational truth. Sacred-Secular D
