Chimpanzee Violence Is Not Human War
April 17, 2026
Humans may descend to animal-like behavior. But animals do not “ascend” to human war.
John Wise received his PhD in philosophy from the University of CA, Irvine in 2004. His dissertation was titled Sartre’s Phenomenological Ontology and the German Idealist Tradition. His area of specialization is 19th to early 20th century continental philosophy.He tells the story of his 25-year odyssey from atheism to Christianity in the book, Through the Looking Glass: The Imploding of an Atheist Professor’s Worldview (available on Amazon). Since his return to Christ, his research interests include developing a Christian (YEC) philosophy of science and the integration of all human knowledge with God’s word.
He has taught philosophy for the University of CA, Irvine, East Stroudsburg University of PA, Grand Canyon University, American Intercontinental University, and Ashford University. He currently teaches online for the University of Arizona, Global Campus, and is a member of the Heterodox Academy. He and his wife Jenny are known online as The Christian Atheist with a podcast of that name, in addition to a YouTube channel: John and Jenny Wise.

Evolutionary “Patchwork” or Poor Proofreading?
April 15, 2026
It used to be a requirement to check the status of your information when writing about science.
How a Cell Prepares for Division
April 7, 2026
At this scale, the cell does not appear to be reacting. It appears to be operating with a framework in which structure, timing, and function are tightly integrated.
Genes Tell Time with Help from ‘Junk’ DNA
April 2, 2026
We don't sense time as an external arrival. We inhabit it as an internal necessity.
Is Time a Figment or an Ordinance?
March 27, 2026
Science lives by discovery, and discovery requires a world that exists without our permission.
Does a Pluriverse Describe Reality or Destroy It?
March 21, 2026
We must choose between a science that discovers a world and a science that settles for a shared hallucination.
Drunken Monkey Hypothesis Looks Tipsy
March 17, 2026
Evolutionary interpretation, unlike the slightly fermented fruit of this study, is highly intoxicating.
Cells Use ‘Disordered’ Proteins to Control Access to the Nucleus
March 12, 2026
Scientists watching the nuclear pore in action discover that its moving protein filaments form a highly selective traffic control system.
A Genetic Switch Matures Immune Cells
March 9, 2026
If it looks like an engineered system, functions like an engineered system, and is mapped like an engineered system, perhaps it is time to stop pretending it’s a happy accident.
How Does a Cell Divide Evenly in Two?
March 2, 2026
If we find the cell “making sense” it is because there is sense woven into its very fabric.
Darwinists Trigger Carl Sagan’s Baloney Detector

Carl Sagan taught me to doubt the dragon. I never dreamed that one day, the dragon I’d uncover would be one of his own favored pets.
A Bonobo “Tea Party”
February 18, 2026
Once again in the popular science press, the data are modest, but the headlines are pure evolutionary imagination.
Darwin Stubs His T.O.E.
February 11, 2026
Either reality is given, spoken, and capable of correcting us, or it is an emergent consensus generated by process itself. There is no third alternative.
Claims of “New Life” Premature
February 5, 2026
The discovery of novel circular RNAs in microbial communities is worthy of further investigation, but the ontological leap from genetic novelty to a new domain of life is wholly unjustified by the current evidence.
Cancer Evolution: Can Death Reveal the Logic of Life?
February 4, 2026
When a theory of biology asks us to see death, breakdown, and negation as creative, it is no longer describing reality. It is inverting it.
