Re: Presup Apologetics
I agree, but they can still use the fork correctly. I think the same applies to knowledge and reason. To me, the things Danny and jlay are saying about the Atheists flawed worldview because of not being able to account for reason is equivalent to if a person didn't know where the fork came from, wa...

Re: I don't understand all of the Matt D/Slick debate
This is a fallacy of equivocation. Two things of separate value are equated to be the same thing. The page on Wikipedia uses the word 'light' as an example: A feather is light. What is light cannot be dark. Therefore, a feather cannot be dark. There are actually two separate aspects of logical abso...

Re: Bart Ehrman vs. Reginald Finley
I think this goes back about a year or so. It's on youtube but this is the full version Listen to this burk (Finley) tie himself in all sorts of knots while scratching around for an argument. I know we hold no real love towards Ehrman, but this is just funny how he reduces Finley to a stumbling mes...

Re: Christianity and secular music
I think secular music is better instrumentally but Christian music is good too. It's pretty awesome to see Christian artists deal with secular problems every now and then, like Hawk Nelson, and get away from the praise and worship songs that get a bit redundant in some Christian songs. If you want a...

Atheists are hard to convert
Out of all the people in the world, it seems like atheists are the hardest to convert. Especially the ones that are hardcore into not believing in God. The ones who look up information each night and have so many counter arguments to things like presupp apologetics, kalam cosmological argument, cert...

Re: Dealing with doubt
I have been studying apologetics for roughly 5 years now. Engaging in debate on website, through email, and in person. The common trend I have seen through debate and discussing the existence of not only God but the Christian God, is both sides will come up with extremely convincing arguments. I do...

Re: Dealing with doubt
I think the lives changed by the exodus program is evidence that homosexuality is a choice. Homosexuality is not a snap of the finger choice, it is a choice of how we react to certain events or aspects of our lives, and making the choice to react to an opportunity to change your ways can cure you. ...

Re: Sumerian accounts?
In some cases I think similarity between multiple accounts can lend some veracity to an actual historical incident. Take the Flood and Noah with his Ark. Including of course the Epic of Gligamesh, there have been many different accounts in different cultures of such an event. More conservative Chri...

Re: I don't understand all of the Matt D/Slick debate
This site, iron chariots, is ran by Matt Dillahunty; here's his reply to TAG Is there any errors in his critique of TAG? My friend says there is. He says Matt's version assumes that something would still be the same, regardless if minds existed, but Matt D is actually the one equivocating the laws o...

Re: I don't understand all of the Matt D/Slick debate
This one kid responded back to a comment i made on that youtube video and here's what he said A still equals A only in the mind as a logic syllogism of "A". Do you see "A's" physically in the world? You see rocks, but A in itself is a concept. But its application is not. This is ...

Re: Presup Apologetics
Oh boy... Hate to say it, and I've voiced this before, but it's complete circular logic. Even though I believe Christianity is true, presuppositional apologetics is not a valid way to prove it. If Christianity were completely false hypothetically, under presuppositional apologetics the arguements w...

Presup Apologetics
How many of you are fans of this? I'm getting into it. In fact, i'm watching "Collision of lives," a debate between Christopher Hitchens/Doug Wilson. (search for it on youtube); it's really interesting. Both are completely different people and I like to watch Hitchens debate, even though I...

Sumerian accounts?
So i've always wondered about the Sumerian accounts when compared to the Christian Bible. The land of Sumer literally just came about, that, and their language popped up out of nowhere and their writing form, cuneiform, was the first written language ever. The Sumerians would write about their land ...

Similarities between Krishna/Jesus
What was up 2000+ years ago? Why is it, I read up on different religions and I see that Shiva is similar to the Jewish God of the Bible, for being a wrathful God? Krishna came to earth as a son of God, and his Greek name translates to Christos, just like Jesus, both were visited by wise men (guided ...
