Days before Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) expected landfall, local radio stations had extensive information dissemination in some of their programs. Print, local and regional television had their constant advisories for the preparation.

The relationship between science and religion has typically been characterized as one of conflict, especially on the issue of origins (creationism vs. evolution).

Science and religion are both important facets of modern life, and many of the questions in this series deal with issues that are at the intersection of science and religion. The purpose of thi...
Theodicy has to do with the justification of God in the midst of human suffering. At the heart of theodicy is the problem of evil. It is a problem because of the issues that the prevalence of evil raises for anyone that wants to account for divine attributes of sovereignty, control, love and goodness of God. In Christian theological circles, as Louw (2000) puts it, “the problem is whether or not one can hold simultaneously that God is omnipotent, omni-benevolent and evil is real, without co...

Nigeria is the most populous black nation, filled with different tribes and ethnic groups. Although there is a general perspective that the country is practicing democracy, the reverse is the case if we take a critical look at the system.
