This lecture will offer a substantive analysis of the concept of truth. We will examine theories of truth and presuppositional apologetics.

Truth is not an opinion. It does not become true simply because someone believes it to be so.
Truth is objective. The very claim that it does not exist demands an assessment of its truthfulness.
Truth touches our lives. It is a reality that can affect us in very concrete ways.

In the modern world, truth is equated with opinion and treated as such. The quintessence of this mindset is the widespread view that "everyone has their own truth."

Sometimes the situation is even worse. Many people hold the conviction that truth—and objective truth in particular—does not exist at all. This reflects poorly on anyone who asserts such a view with genuine conviction rather than as a joke. If these individuals were to make even the slightest intellectual effort, they would have to realize that at least *this* claim of theirs must be true—and objectively so.

However, as we shall see, truth is not merely an opinion. Truth is a reality that deeply affects us —sometimes painfully so. Moreover, truth is a serious matter—at times literally a question of life and death—and that is precisely why it is so compelling.

Truth is not an opinion. Truth is reality—a serious matter, and sometimes a deadly serious one.

Another lecture offering an engineering perspective, dedicated to one of the fundamental problems regarding the origin of life it means the origin of biological information.

Complexity Organization of biological systems
Functionality Interaction of individual components
Information Instructions for construction and operation

In this lecture, the term "evolution" refers to the mechanisms postulated by modern evolutionary theory—mechanisms intended to explain the variability of organisms, their diversification, and the emergence of new life forms without the involvement of a conscious designer. The variability of living organisms itself is not in doubt; the question, however, is whether these mechanisms are sufficient to explain the emergence of new, functional, and increasingly complex biological information.

From an engineering perspective, it is particularly interesting that complex technical systems contain information governing their construction, functioning, and the interaction of their components. This information is not a random collection of changes but points to a purposeful origin. It possesses a specific structure and embodies specific functions. Can a similar perspective be applied to all biological systems?

The lecture presents the concept of Intelligent Design (ID) as a way of interpreting the complexity, functionality, and information observed in nature. The starting point is the question of whether certain features of organisms point to the action of intelligent (purposeful) causes—much like how we recognize the construction of human-designed systems based on specific characteristics.

issue of methodology

Can we infer causes from observed effects?
How do we distinguish between a data-based explanation and an interpretation stemming from preconceived assumptions?
is the a priori exclusion of a project truly the result of data and scientific research, or rather a methodological assumption?

The lecture proceeds from a simple question regarding the origin of information to a broader inquiry into the nature of the causes that may account for the emergence of complex biological systems. The concept of Intelligent Design (ID) proposes that the presence of specific features of biological organization and information be viewed as a possible trace of design, rather than solely as the result of undirected processes.

A lecture comparing evolutionary cosmology with the cosmology described in the Bible. For about 150 years, we have been led to believe that the Bible is unreliable on this matter and essentially no different from the myths and legends regarding the world's origin found in other religions.

How has our knowledge changed?

250 years ago The first theories regarding the origin of the Universe that are considered modern began to emerge.
150 years ago The view that the biblical account was a fairy tale began to take hold in society.
Today We possess a vast amount of data derived, among other sources, from observations made by space telescopes.

But is this actually the case?

The first theories regarding the origin of the Universe that are considered modern emerged nearly 250 years ago. A century later, the view that the Bible is merely a collection of fairy tales began to gain social acceptance. Few people realize that this view—now a century and a half old—originated at a time when, from our current perspective, information about the Universe was virtually non-existent.

It is hardly surprising that, under those conditions, atheist thought coalesced into precisely that worldview; it could not have been otherwise. What is surprising, however, is that this view remains so widely held today, despite astronomical discoveries—specifically those made possible by telescopes launched far beyond Earth's orbit—and the wealth of information we have gained from them.

This lecture is one of the few that brilliantly demonstrates how current scientific data—accepted by all, regardless of the scientists' own worldviews—align with the biblical account to resolve the paradoxes inherent in the prevailing cosmological paradigm.

This talk explores the intricate design of the mammalian ear, particularly the human ear. Hearing involves an exquisitely precise sequence of tiny and highly detailed engineering mechanisms.

From Sound to a Signal in the Brain

Movement of acoustic waves through the air
Vibration of the three tiny bones of the middle ear
Movement of fluid within the cochlea
Separation of sound into its component frequencies
Movement of microscopic hair cells
Electrical signals transmitted to the brain

The process begins with the movement of acoustic waves through the air. The vibrations are then transmitted to three tiny bones in the middle ear, which in turn set the fluid in the inner ear—the cochlea—in motion. The next stage involves the movement of a specialised membrane that separates sound into its component frequencies, followed by the movement of microscopic hair cells. Finally, electrochemical processes generate electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain.

This is a phenomenal sequence of events, displaying remarkable engineering. Its precision has led even Richard Dawkins to write of the three bones of the middle ear:

“They constitute an exquisitely delicate bridge, to transport sound from the eardrum to the inner ear.”
Richard Dawkins, „The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution”, Black Swan, 2009, s. 293

However, rather than give glory to God, who clearly states in Proverbs 20:12, “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them,” evolutionists insist that these three tiny bones gradually changed their location as they moved from the jaw bones of reptiles. The logic of this is beyond comprehension when one understands the near-perfect acoustic transmission involved in this system.

Professor McIntosh draws on his background in acoustic engineering to show that the frequency analyser we all have in our ears is not only an example of brilliant engineering design, but also a tribute to the beauty of what the Lord has made in sound sensory mechanisms and to our ability to appreciate voice and music.

Psalm 139,14 “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”

Romans 1:19–20 “…that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”

This talk looks at the four vital truths concerning origins:

There was no death before the Fall.
Creation was by God’s spoken Word.
Adam was made from dust.
The Flood was global, not local.

This presentation is an important Bible based talk against Theistic Evolution. It also deals with days of Creation and shows that Bible history is to be taken literally.

The infallibility of Scripture, the timeline and true history is at stake, The Gospel is only understood properly when one grasps that the World and the Universe was made perfect with no death before the Fall. The NT teaching of redemption is lost if one accepts evolutionary philosophy since the Biblical theology of the Cross is only consistent with sin and death following the Fall.

With much talk in Western countries about true identity, the 3rd point above about Adam being made from dust (and Eve being made from the side of Adam) is very relevant to this issue. Our identity Biblically is bound up with being either born as XY (male) or female (XX).

The lecture title taps into our curiosity about dinosaurs—prehistoric, extinct land reptiles that, as historical records show, were previously known as dragons.

The word "dinosaur" only appeared in 1841, marking the transition from merely viewing and recounting tales about the chance discovery of extraordinary bones belonging to unknown animals to the scientific observation of those very specimens.

Today, we associate the word "dragons" with fairy tales, while "dinosaurs" are linked to scientific narratives. Historically, the term "dragon bones"—found in Chinese records—referred to the bones of large animals. Thus, while not all dragons were necessarily dinosaurs, all large dinosaurs were certainly classified as dragons.

The lecture focuses on how dinosaur-related discoveries are used to promote the concept of vast timescales spanning millions of years. In his work, Prof. Taylor specializes in mass spectrometry—specifically, determining the chemical and radioisotopic composition of various samples, ranging from rocks to organic remains, including those of dinosaurs.

Drawing on years of research, he presents an alternative perspective regarding the age of dinosaur-related finds. Dinosaurs did not necessarily—and likely did not—live tens or hundreds of millions of years ago. Prof. Taylor supports this position with findings from the fields of paleontology, genetics, and history.

It turns out that comprehensive modern research on dinosaurs supports the biblical account more strongly than the scientific theories of the late 19th and early 20th centuries—theories that predated the era of modern research techniques.
