A Christian Physicist's Response to National Scrutiny | Testable Faith

Dr. Eric Hedin is professor emeritus of physics and astronomy at Ball State University (BSU) in Indiana. His research interests focused on computational nanoelectronics and higher-dimensional physics. Hedin developed and taught the Boundaries of Science course for six years at BSU’s Honors College. In 2013, his course came under attack by a national atheist organization for allowing student discussions in class to consider evidence that nature is not all there is and that our lives have eternal meaning and value within a universe crafted with biocentric design. Based on Hedin’s experience with this course, he wrote the recently published book, Canceled Science: What Some Atheists Don’t Want You to See, highlighting scientific evidence that points to design.

What does the First Amendment have to do with it?
"Congress shall make no law" — not a university, not the state of Indiana.

Well done Professor Hedin. The story of the lives of those you taught is ongoing and the Spirit will use the seeds you planted.

“It is mine to avenge, I will repay, ” says the Lord. Yes, the battle is the Lords.

I believe in Jesus, but I'm not much of a churchgoer. Religion has left me with more questions than I ever had answers to, and all of them claim to have the truth. In my experience, there was more in fighting about who should be in charge and women were treated like 2nd class citizens. Still, I would rather sit through a class from someone who believes in God, because scripture teaches you to be a better human being, than the chaos that's out there today.
