The Distinction Between Methodological Naturalism and Metaphysical Naturalism Shows that Science and Faith are Not Mutually Exclusive
To say that science and faith are not mutually exclusive based on historical examples of the myriad scientists who were also theists is not sufficient in determining whether or not science and faith are mutually exclusive. Attempting to do so is argumentum ad hominem—just because there are examples of people did something or held to a particular view does not mean that they were rational, logical, or otherwise justified in what they advocated. They may have been, but the fact that they held a position does not in itself justify the position held.

Understanding Daniel’s 70 “Weeks” Prophecy (Part 5)
We continue our look at the great prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27. Read the rest of the series.
This prophecy wraps up here, in the last bit of Daniel 9:27. It is the antichrist will make a covenant. He is the one to whom Titus Vespasianus—the conqueror and destroyed of Jerusalem in A.D. 70—pointed in Daniel 9:26 (“the people of the prince who is to come”). With whom will antichrist make this covenant and for how long? How does this prophecy end, in light of other scripture passages?
