Directly or indirectly, the policies enacted by the elected officials of local, state, and federal governments affect every aspect of our earthly lives, and the lives of our neighbors. Thus, elections provide believers significant, God-given opportunities to love their neighbors on a large scale. Who, then, is our neighbor? Our neighbor works hard to provide […]
Baggage, Responsibility, and the Display of God’s Excellence
We all bear the weight of a boatload of baggage, things of our past that haunt us today. Perhaps you were born into a difficult family, neighborhood, or financial situation. Maybe you have faced severe disappointments or losses, the death of a son, daughter, mother, father, or friend. Perhaps you have been cheated or mistreated, […]
Hey Creationist, Prove It!
Have you ever been asked by an evolutionist to prove your belief in Creationism? Have you ever been frustrated by the challenge? In a recent response to one of our videos someone confidently proclaimed that Creationism is refuted by two simple words: “prove it.” Done, slam dunk, end of argument. Should we tremble? Do we […]
The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 25): Doctrinal Disproofs: Do Miracles Disprove God? (Part B)
Last time we critiqued three claims that miracles do not imply God as their source. We turn now to a fourth and counter-intuitive argument, namely, miracles, or “permanently inexplicable” violations of “natural law,” not only do not imply God as their agent, but give positive evidence that the Christian God does not exist. Asserting what […]
The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 24): Doctrinal Disproofs: Do Miracles Disprove God? (Part A)
We continue our look at “doctrinal disproofs” of God with an analysis of a few interesting and unusual claims involving miracles. [1] Before presenting her own unique argument, the author briefly presents three claims that miracles do not necessarily imply God as their source. Viewing these as insufficient, she goes a step further and asserts […]
The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 23): Some Review
Before we review a few key principles of the series thus far, allow me a brief mea culpa. Two weeks ago (in Part 21), I made the comment, “no one is without excuse” in speaking of the unbeliever’s accountability before God. Oops. It should have read, “all are without excuse.” A single word can make […]
The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 22): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part F)
As we continue our look at how human limitations render unreasonable the many arguments against God’s existence, we do well to remember that true wisdom begins with the “fear of the Lord” (Prov. 9:10), and admits its smallness and dependence on God for all things—including knowledge. The importance of grasping and applying this basic fact […]
The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 21): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part E)
Last time we observed that a double-standard for the Creator and His creatures is entirely appropriate and necessary. God as perfect in knowledge and holiness knows every aspect of every case before His throne of justice and always judges in perfect righteousness. The source of all good and moral standards in the universe cannot pervert […]
The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 20): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part D)
Last time we observed that atheists lack the comprehensive knowledge to know that God is unjust in any death, infant or otherwise. God’s perspective is eternal. He knows everything about everything, including every heart and the positive or negative recompense of every soul in eternity. Apart from God’s revelation, and from our grossly limited and […]
The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 19): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part C)
In “A Moral Argument for Atheism,” the second “doctrinal disproof” in The Impossibility of God, the atheist author assumes common moral ground with believers and presents five “paradigms of objective moral truths” that he believes both atheists and theists would consider morally wrong: 1) the intentional murder of innocents, 2) giving women to soldiers as […]
