Richard Dawkins: Embarrassingly Bad Thinker, Incredibly Ignorant



Dr. Craig does a great job showing how foolish Richard Dawkins is. Dawkins is an outspoken Atheist who has written several books on Gods existence and criticizing those for believing God exists. He especially hates Christianity and spews his venom when ever he gets the chance unless a apologist who can answer his questions is within ear shot. Then he takes off like a scalded dog and is such a coward he refuses to debate!

Theology Matters



Join Devin and Melissa Pellew each week at they discuss topics related to biblical theology, Christian apologetics and worldview issues. This week our special guest was apologist, philosoper, author and professor, Dr. Paul Copan, Professor and Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University and President of the Evangelical Philosophical Society (EPS). Dr. Copan will be discussing how to answer some common objections to Christianity as discussed in his book, When God Goes To Starbucks, a wonderful guide on doing conversational apologetics. We will also discuss his book, Is God A Moral Monster, and how to make sense of what appears to be a contradition in the character of God from the Old to the New Testaments. We will discuss a number of topics that will help to strengthen your faith as well as provide answers to questions that you may have regarding the Christian Faith. You don't want to miss this exciting and informative show!

10 Really Bad Youtube Objections to the Kalam Cosmological Argument



These are the top 10 really bad youtube objections to the Kalam Cosmological Argument*:

# 10 - "A God is not needed to create the universe, the universe created itself."

# 9 -- "KCA is nothing more than a 'God of the Gaps' argument."

Bad Refutation #8 comes in five parts because they all speak on the identity of the First Cause.

# 8a -- "How do you know God caused the universe? We don't know what caused the universe but it sure as hell ain't God."


#8b -- "It doesn't make sense to describe something in negative terms."


# 8c -- "Ha! Ha! You just made an argument for the Flying Spaghetti Monster as the cause of the universe! Who knows, I can say it's an invisible unicorn that caused the universe. You really don't know if God had anything to do with it!"


#8d -- "You don't know if this God is the God of Christianity, Islam, or Judaism. What good is this argument?"


#8e - "The KCA doesn't argue that this God answers prayers, forgives sins, reads our thoughts, etc."

# 7 - "The Kalam Cosmological Argument commits the fallacy of composition."

# 6 -- "If the actual infinite cannot exist then how can God exist if he's infinite?"

# 5 -- "The KCA engages in circular reasoning and begs the question."

# 4 -- "The Kalam Cosmological Argument is guilty of equivocation."

#3 - "The First Law of Thermodynamics (the conservation of energy) refutes the first premise of the Kalam Cosmological Argument that whatever begins to exist has a cause."

#4 and #3 again -- "KCA, The First Law of Thermodynamics, and Equivocation."

# 2 -- "Quantum Mechanics proves something can come from literally nothing."

# 1 -- "Since everything needed a cause, what caused God?"




All responses made by William Lane Craig.

William Lane Craig Interviewed on PBS





Uploaded by drcraigvideos on May 16, 2011


PBS' "Closer to Truth" conducted the best interview Dr. William Lane Craig ever had. Host and scientist Robert Lawrence Kuhn asks all the right questions about philosophy, religion, and science with him. You will get a nutshell of Dr. Craig's thoughts in this interview (although his views on the resurrection of Jesus is absent from this interview). Hopefully, it will lead you to pursue more research on the topics. Dr. Craig is quite simply a philosopher's philosopher.

Excellent eye



For more details visit: http://creation.com/creation-magazine-live-episode-63

The eye can detect a single photon of light, the faintest light possible. Despite some evolutionists claiming that the eye is badly designed, it is impossible to improve on this sensitivity! Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith explain why the eye is still a great example of design.

God Of Wonders




(Psalm 19 ESV)


The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Refuting Compromise-(Dr. Jonathan Sarfati, Ph.D.



"A six day, young earth understanding of Genesis is the only one that comes from the text itself, which is why the rest of Scripture interprets it that way. Long-age views are a modern aberration that comes from imposing outside ideas of uniformitarian "science" upon the text. See how compromising views render the Bible meaningless to a dying world. You'll be encouraged and energized to hear there is no need for compromise and that there are answers. The evidence for Creation and the Bible's account of history is all around us if only we know how to look for it, and Jonathan will show you how to do just that!"

Six Days of Creation, Ken Ham



Dr. Ham does an excellent job in defending the young earth view of creation. I believe this issue is an important one that we as believers need to be educated on and equip ourselves with.

Evolutionists Get Owned By Creationists on BBC TV Show


There are many, many, very able creationist debaters and speakers about who WANT to debate atheists and evolutionists. Unfortunately, not many are given the opportunity on TV. This show was unusual as it did allow 2 creationists a platform. Even though they were interupted they showed that creationists are more than able to deal with the 'faith' of evolution quite easily

Fine Tuning Argument



Dr. William Lane Craig lays out the argument from the fine tuning of the universe. This is one of the most powerful arguments for the existence of a designer there is. For more on this buy the books " I dont Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist" by Frank Turek and 'On Gaurd" by Dr. William Lane Craig.
