Ravi Zacharias

There is much truth in this parable, listen and take heed!

Dr. William Lane Craig

Who designed the Designer? This is a question that is often leveled at Theists. In this short video Dr. Craig explains why this objection fails

Fossil Flap

AP-------Remember Ida, the fossil discovery announced last May with its own book and TV documentary? A publicity blitz called it "the link" that would reveal the earliest evolutionary roots of monkeys, apes and humans.

Experts protested that Ida wasn't even a close relative. And now a new analysis supports their reaction.

In fact, Ida is as far removed from the monkey-ape-human ancestry as a primate could be, says Erik Seiffert of Stony Brook University in New York."

Problem Of Evil

Several philosophers attempt to answer the question

Dr. William Lane Craig

In this clip they go over some of Aquinas arguments from Gods existence

Dr. William Lane Craig

Dr. Craig exposes Richard Dawkins silly arguments, and challenges the outspoken atheist to debate him

Dr. Geisler vs Dr. Kurtz

Funny how the Atheist always claims to follow where the scientific evidence leads, until it works against them and then they retreat unto the great unknown

Dr. Frank Turek

I think Dr. Turek did an excellent job dealing with this skeptic. I recommend His and Dr. Geislers book, "I don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist"

Problem Of Evil

The Existence and the Persistence of Evil is used as a argument against God's existence, but is this a sound argument?

In order to say something is evil, one must first know what is good, for there must be standard that separates good from evil. However, if Naturalism is true, then how do you make the distinction between good and evil if there is no objective transcendent anchor? The difference between subjectivity and objectivity is that if something is objective, then it is valid and binding regardless of one's opinion and subjectivity is rooted in personal preference or taste. If there is not an objective standard, then nothing is objectively evil, but rather everyone determines right from wrong based upon their personal opinion.

However, if this is so, then how can we say child abuse is objectively wrong or that The Holocaust was objectively evil? Only if there is a objective transcendent standard, which separates good from evil, can we make objective moral judgements. This of course is not to say that atheists can't be moral. Many are, but they must borrow from the Theist's worldview in order to make moral judgements of what is "good" and "evil".

I will write more on this in the coming weeks, but the next time that an atheist wants to use the Problem of Evil as an argument against the God of the Bible, remind him that he is borrowing capital from the Theist's worldview in order to do so!

Intelligent Design

I will be teaching on Intelligent Design for the next 3 adult Sunday school lessons at CFC, all are welcome to come, we start at 9:30

Ethics

Atheists confuse whether someone must have belief in God to be good, and God being the ground in order for objective moral values to exist

The Greatest Show on Earth??

Richard Dawkins on the "Colbert Report" talking about his new book

Sufficiency Of Scripture

How did we get the books in the New Testament? How do we know the right books were canonized? For more on this I would recommend Dr. Norman Geisler and William Nix book "From God To Us". If you would like a more comprehensive work, get their book " From God To Us"

ST. Thomas Aquinas

VERY COOL!!

Bill O'Reilly vs. 'Atheist' Richard Dawkins

O'Reilly is not a trained theologian or is he an apologist, but the interview was interesting

A Moral Monster?

http://www.elfpodcast.com/ELF/podcast/mp3/1013pod.mp3
CLICK HERE Audio taken from http://www.elfpodcast.com/

Is the God of the OT a moral monster? Many skeptics claim the God of the Old Testament is cruel and murderous, while the God of the NT is very different. Is the God of the OT really a tyrant?

Listen to this audio by philosopher and NT scholar Dr. Peter S. Williams

The scientific community has again declared their latest find will completely rewrite what we know about human evolution. Much wiser to put your faith in the unchanging immutable God who can not lie then man who is sinful and rebellious.

Dr. Geisler gives this talk "5 Reasons I am not a 5 point Calvinist"

There are great scholars on both sides of the issue. While I am not a Calvinist, I certainly thank God for their contributions to the faith and for my favorite teacher- Dr. John Macarthur!
