It sounds more like a theme park for techies than an art museum. Dataland, the world’s first museum devoted to AI arts, is scheduled to open in Los Angeles this spring. For those wishing to address the vexing question, “Is AI art really art?” I direct you to online forums […]

Christmas Apologetics: How to Think About Facts
Recently, I saw an ad with a family stringing cranberries to make a garland and I thought of an analogy by the 20th century apologist, Cornelius Van Til. Van Til uses an analogy of beads on a string to explain how Christians makes sense of facts. I’ll explain his analogy, […]
The Aesthetics of Charlie Kirk
It’s been one week since the assassination of Charlie Kirk and it’s still hard to believe. The rippling effects of his martyrdom are unfathomable. Following the initial flood of tears comes the flooding of the internet with articles and videos about Kirk, his family, and his organization, Turning Point USA. […]

It is a paradox; people speak of spiritual values, while holding on to belief systems which cannot justify them. […]
Atheist Perspective in Chocolate
Many atheists claim the universe and all life arose from natural processes. On a much simpler scale, this view can be compared to the belief that this detailed chocolate figure arose from the warm, melted chocolate as it cooled. It’s unbelievable on a simple scale and vastly more unbelievable when […]
Apologetics and Chocolate: Augustine on Time
It’s Christmas Time! But…what is time? The Christian theologian, Augustine of Hippo (354-430), explored the mysterious concept of time in Chapter XI of Confessions. He surmised that since the past no longer exists, the future does not yet exist, and the present is always slipping into the past, time is […]
The Magical Mix of Atheism
The Christian philosopher, Greg Bahnsen, once compared the atheist’s view of human origins to a cake-mix. Atheists speculate that a mysterious mixture of matter, energy, and time, combined with a dash of who-knows-what, produced life. They claim this magical event happened once and has never happened again. Of course, Dr. […]
