Be sure to get your order in, of my book The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, before December 16th to make sure it arrives by Christmas!

In the book, I outline the dramatic fall of New Atheism and the birth of a new conversation on whether God makes sense of science, history, culture, and the search for meaning. People are returning to Christianity―but is the church prepared to welcome a new wave of faith? There’s a new conversation building. The tide is coming.

Dawkins' PhD Examiner: Selfish Gene DAMAGED Science! - Dr Denis Noble & Perry Marshall

Despite championing the scientific method, Prof Richard Dawkins’ most popular and famous book The Selfish Gene (which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026) may actually have slowed down and taken biology backwards - including inhibiting the search for cancer cures. That’s according to his doctoral examiner and physiologist Dr Denis Noble, and co-founder of the “Cancer and Evolution” research group Perry Marshall. Has Dawkins’ neo-Darwinian “gene-centric” interpretation of evolution been holding back scientific progress and medical advancements? What happens if we allow for a purposive dimension to biological organisms?

FAKE “Science vs Religion” History EXPOSED - David Hutchings & James Ungureanu

What do Stephen Fry, Bertrand Russell, and the US senator Arlen Specter all have in common? They were deceived by 19th century fake news about the “conflict” between science and religion - which alarmingly remains in wide circulation to this day! I spoke to two experts, physicist David Hutchings and historian James Ungureanu - authors of the book Of Popes And Unicorns - about how this widespread “Conflict Thesis” misinformation began (including a deep dive into understanding its authors, John William Draper & Andrew Dickson White), and how to counter it with a more accurate and nuanced historical approach.

My interview on Chasing Leviathan

On this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and I discussed my book The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, the evolution of atheism, the reconsideration of Christianity by secular thinkers, and the importance of community and repentance in modern faith. We also explored the challenge of objective morality in a materialistic worldview and the implications of determinism on morality.
