The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 8): Pain and Evil

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 8): Pain and Evil - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Young Girl Sleeping In Intensive Care Unit

Atheists sometimes describe terrible diseases by which children suffer and die and declare that they would never believe in a God that would allow such things.

Presuppositions of Faith (5 of 6): The Problem of Evil

Presuppositions of Faith (5 of 6): The Problem of Evil - underneath pier pylons looking out to open ocean

In previous articles, we have seen that denials of God’s existence and biblical miracles rest on unreasonable, blind-faith assumptions or presuppositions. But, what about claims of contradictions in Scripture, the foundation of our faith? Do they rest on the same unjustified assumptions? Let’s see as we listen to Mr. A and Mr. C discuss “the […]
