CHRISTIAN FACULTY FORUM at UCSB
For over 30 years, Christian faculty at UCSB have been meeting regularly for discussion and prayer. For decades over 50 faculty members have published an annual Resurrection Proclamation in the Daily Nexus simply declaring their faith and trust that "He is Risen."
This year, rather than publishing the traditional Resurrection Proclamation, they will publicize the availability of valuable online resources on what is arguably the most important event in human history: the resurrection of Jesus.
RESOURCES ON THE RESURRECTION
"The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection that Even Skeptics Believe"
Gary Habermas
"Beyond the Passion: Did the Resurrection Really Happen?"

"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. (Jesus in Matthew 6:31-34).

His extensive list of publications and debates provides a thorough account of the current state of the issue. Christian believers as well as unbelievers may find within the contents of this site a strong argument for the philosophical possibility of miracles and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, as well as the theological and practical implications of this event. Many of his talks and debates are available on this site and at the Veritas Media Library.
In the context of the Big Bang and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, evolution is just another pointer back to the origin of all physical reality in the finite past. No matter how you look at it, creation preceded evolution.
Quotes from prominent scientists and philosophers point to the creation of the universe including the diversity and disparity of life on Earth.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to probe the big questions of life. Where did you come from? Why are you here? How did it all begin? Where are we going?
