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.

A Genetic Switch Matures Immune Cells

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?

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”

Once again in the popular science press, the data are modest, but the headlines are pure evolutionary imagination.

Darwin Stubs His T.O.E.

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

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?

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.

What Does It Mean to “See” an Electron?

Absolute limits do not signal defeat. They define the field within which understanding is possible.

Genome Shows Design in 4 Dimensions

If Origin of Life is a one-dimensional impossibility from below, the genome now stands as a four-dimensional impossibility from above.

Gumby Clocks Keep Darwin Time

Rapid evolution does not solve the problem of complexity. It intensifies it.

A Central Computer in our Cells

Rather than functioning as a simple on-off switch, TORC1 behaves as a highly integrated regulatory system.

Pterosaurs Fly “In a Flash”

The narrative takes flight, even as the evidence remains on the ground.

Surprising Data? Just Add a Billion Years!

Evolution shows itself as a self-correcting story, not a self-correcting science.

A New Window into the Living Cell

Technological progress does not shrink biological wonder. It expands it.

The Cosmos as Sacred Text

Materialism cannot account for mind without borrowing the very idealism it rejects.
