About This Site
The intent of this website is to glorify and honor the Lord God Almighty through viewing everything from a distinctly Christian perspective. Since it is only in God’s light that we see light (Psalm 36:9), we must view every area of life through the lens of the infallible, inerrant Word of God, the Bible. This site will feature news, commentary, and articles about the truth of the Christian faith and its application. Since the editor of this site, Dustin Crider, has a background in science, much of the content will focus on Biblically based science and related topics.
This site is ultimately dedicated to the praise and adoration of the Triune God for the universe He has made and the redemption of His people through the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. When we see the wonders of the creation, our response should be one of wonder, awe, and love towards the great God who made all things out of nothing.
Please send in your thoughts and comments on the site, the podcast, or just Christian worldview topics in general to takingeverythoughtcaptive@gmail.com.
About Science
The Bible and science are not opposed to each other. Science can only be properly understood in the light of Scripture and the uncreated Creator who is the author of that Scripture. Much of modern scientific thought has excluded God from it entirely. And in doing so, they have excluded the Creator of the universe who upholds all things by the power of his word (Hebrews 1:3; also confer Colossians 1:17).

About the Two Circle Logo
Cornelius Van Til was a 20th century Christian apologist who drew this diagram while teaching classes in seminary. Below is an explanation of this diagram by one of his students.
“Van Til . . . always taught that a Christian worldview should be represented by two circles (for Creator and creature), clearly distinct from one another, with the larger one (representing God) on top. One circle alone referred to the non-Christian worldview, in which man and God (if he exists) are on the same level, part of one reality.” John Frame, Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thought, (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing, 1995), p. 27.
