Refuting Atheist Rachel Oates on Life from Non-Life

by

In my apologetics on this blog, the main thing that I deal with is Islam.  I deal with a few other topics as well such as cultural issues, abortion, church politics, etc.  I’ve tended to stay away from Creation vs. Evolution debate because that’s not a main focus of mine.  This doesn’t mean that I’m unfamiliar with the debate.  A lot of people I know who do apologetics specialize in this area so its a debate that I’m around, even if I’m not directly involved.  I’m actually quite well read on this topic and have studied it for quite a while.  In fact I’ve probably read more of Charles Darwin than 99.9% of atheists, including biology majors.

Debating Evolution With an 18 Year Old Atheist

If you’re going to sell your soul to the devil, make sure you have a good lawyer to write up the contract.

– Dr. E. Michael Jones

Many years ago, I tried to get through The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.  I couldn’t get through it because it was such a bad book.  In fact, it was one of the worst books that I had ever read.  I normally finish books that I start but I didn’t finish that one.  Many people on both sides of the God debate didn’t like this book and essentially said that Dawkins was leaving his field of expertise.  The man was a biologist after all.

Exposing Liberal Lies About Education

by

Recently I was reading a website run by an ex-Evangelical turned atheist.  He left his faith because of reading critical scholarship about the Scriptures.  Anyways, he’s big on education.  That’s his thing, the more education that you have, the less you’ll believe.  I’ve actually thought about this for years.  If you have more education, will you be more secular?  If so, is this a black eye for religiosity?

Richard Dawkins isn’t Racist – He’s a Fraud

by

I never did like The God Delusion, in fact I didn’t finish because it was such a bad book, and I finish the vast majority of books that I start.  It’s sitting on one of my bookshelves collecting dust.  I keep telling myself that I’ll finish it one day but it’s getting less and less likely.

What David Wood and Christopher Hitchens Have In Common

by

Last week was my birthday.  I had some people over for a party at my house and the topic of Islamicize Me came up.  Of course Islamicize Me is the mockumentary about Islam and the teachings of Muhammad produced by apologist David Wood.  I recently wrote a post on this series and my thoughts on it so I won’t go over that again.

Peter Kreeft Dabbles in Modernism

by

Catholic Philosopher Peter Kreeft

I recently listened to a podcast from Catholic Answers where Peter Kreeft was a guest.  For those who don’t know, Peter Kreeft is a Catholic convert from Calvinism and one of the greatest Philosophers of our day.  Both Catholics and Protestants read his works and make good use of them.  He is also heavily involved in the pro-life movement and has written books like The Unaborted Socrates.  In other words, we have a lot to thank him for.

Did Peter know Greek?

Refuting Bart Ehrman

by

Forged…Boo

Bart Ehrman has really been helping the enemies of God. He has quite a corpus of material against Christian orthodoxy. Atheists and Muslims are more than eager to purchase his books and accept his conclusions; often uncritically. Sadly, there is nothing that we can do about this except to learn to respond to these criticisms.

Philosophy and Scholasticism

St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas Aquinas – The Angelic Doctor

If you’ve ever talked to a recent graduate from High School, you’ll realize how intellectually bankrupt our society has become. Our education is completely shot. Pretty much everything that I’ve learned, has come from reading after University. The enemies of God are having a tremendous amount of success promoting evil since the current generation doesn’t know how to think critically.

On A Mission: Lessons From St. Francis de Sales

On A Mission: Lessons From St. Francis de Sales

In being an effective debater you need two things. You need proper debating tactics and you need information. Information comes with time and reading but if you never master the proper debating tactics, it’s almost uselss. The key to debating is not to defeat your opponent but to let your opponent defeat himself. This is done by asking the right questions.
