In late November, many Canadian newspapers reported that police had solved two 39-year-old murder cases using new genetic technology. The technology led to a single suspect who was not initially a person of interest. Further genetic confirmation (using a court-issued DNA warrant) led to the arrest of the individual, who remains only a suspect until…
What does it mean to be made in the image of God? New research on human brain neurons implanted in rats forces us to ask this question. The cells of adult humans can be reprogrammed to act as stem cells, and stem cells can then become any of the different cell types found throughout our…
There is a labyrinth in the cathedral of Chartres in France. The centre of the labyrinth is reached by walking (or going on your knees) on a deceptively long path. Look up, and you will see a mirror copy in the great West Rose of stained glass above. The centre of the West Rose is…
“Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination.” This quote from Dr. Mae Jemison, the first Black woman astronaut in space, reminds me that we serve a God whose creativity and power reaches far beyond our imaginations. But I have often limited others, boxing them into my tiny vision of what was possible. In 2005,…
I recently replaced my old analog watch with a new digital one. It came with several nifty features such as a step counter, Bluetooth link, heart rate monitor and a video game, among other things. It didn’t take long for this watch to subtly shift some of my daily practices. Author and media critic Neil…
Three massive science instruments are poised to reveal more about God’s creation. The James Webb Space Telescope, successfully deployed one and a half million kilometres from Earth, is delivering amazing pictures of the scope and beauty of the cosmos. Near Geneva, Switzerland, the upgraded Large Hadron Collider, operated by CERN (from the French for European…
What follows is a conversation I had with Felicia Wu Song, Professor of Sociology at Westmont College about her recent book, Restless Devices. DCS: What motivated you to write Restless Devices? FWS: Over the past few years, more and more of us have felt overwhelmed and exhausted by the digital demands in our lives. And…
Physicists are excited about a tiny difference. It may not seem like much, but according to a recent experiment, the mass of a subatomic particle – the W boson – is 0.09 percent greater than predicted. Why all the excitement over such a small difference? The answer lies in what we don’t know. For 60…
What follows is taken from an interview I had with James Eglinton, a senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh and author of a new biography about Herman Bavinck. Derek: Who was Bavinck and why the renewed interest in him? James: Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) was a Dutch Reformed theologian. In the century since his death,…
A friend recently emailed me about how God had used a hard time in his life for good. When I responded with “I’m glad you are –” Gmail suggested “– doing well.” I paused, wondering if that phrase sounds lazy and superficial. If it hadn’t popped up, I might have written something like “I’m glad you’re seeing…
Young people who sign up to use Instagram, Tik Tok or similar social media sites are targeted with potentially harmful material within 24 hours. New research by the 5 Rights Foundation, an international initiative to promote online safety, shows that this is built into the design of the platforms; it is not just an unfortunate…
People appreciate contributions by Reformed thinkers on issues in contemporary culture, including technology. However, at a recent talk, I also heard a critique: the church does not figure very prominently in many of these Reformed writings. Digital technology is fraught with ethical, social and privacy issues, but what is the role of the church in…
