Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 60058 This is a thoughtful question that touches on biology, theology, and the nature of the created order. If organic life depends on decomposition for nutrients, and decomposition presupposes death, then does life itself require death to function? And if so, what does that mean for the biblical claim that death entered the world…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 60105 When an earthquake kills tens of thousands, when a tsunami sweeps away everything a family has built, when a community watches a wildfire consume their homes and livelihoods — the question that rises instinctively is directed at God. Why? If He is all-powerful and entirely good, why does He not stop it? The…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 60106 Of all the questions people bring to God, this one carries the heaviest weight.
