Apologetics to the Glory of God

  • Providence, Preservation, and the Problem of Induction

    God’s providence provides a basis for science: God has made and continues to sustain a universe that acts in predictable ways. If a scientific experiment gives a certain result today, then we can have confidence that (if all the factors are the same) it will give the same result tomorrow and a hundred years from tomorrow. The doctrine of providence also provides a foundation for technology: I can be confident that gasoline will make my car run today just as it did yesterday, not simply because “it has always worked that way,” but because God’s providence sustains a universe in

  • New: FAQ section

    As some of you may have noticed already, there’s a new button on our top navbar. This will take you to our new “frequently asked questions” page. We also address “common objections”, as well. As it says, we’re still working on it, so please forgive any changes you may see over the next few months.

A new subject line should be added shortly 🙂…

  • Atheist Triumphalism

    In this clip, a Christian apologist named Arthur runs into a fundamentalist atheist on his way to engage with others in sober rational discourse. Arthur politely asks the atheist to join him, but the atheist will have none of it. Instead, the atheist makes sure that all of the attention is given to him, makes some ridiculous demands of the apologist, and proceeds to argue with him. After making the first devastating point, the apologist asks the atheist to step aside, but the atheist denies any harm has befallen him. The apologist is forced to show the atheist what he …

  • Ask A Former Atheist

    http://www.worldoncampus.com/article/religion/2011/10/ask_a_former_atheist

    If someone had asked him last fall if he believed in God, he would have said definitely not. But now, Suplita says he is unsure whether he ever really believed that in his heart. He could give a whole list of reasons why he thought it was ridiculous to believe in God, but he now wonders whether he really believed what he was saying.

    “It was more like I was trying to convince myself,” he said.

  • Extraordinary Claims (The Atheist’s Burden of Proof Revisited)

    Fundamentalist Atheists often claim that Christians are making “extraordinary claims” and therefore Christians are the ones that have “the burden of proof” and they use this to try to disarm the Christian from arguing further or they will use this as some sort of dismissive escaping device when an a challenge to the atheistic position is made. Brian Knapp has already shown that Atheists have a burden of proof but I would like to extend his post a little further.

    Often the topic of the burden of proof gets mired down in misunderstanding and sadly in willful ignorance when speaking …

    Potential Objections

    It appears as though Wicca is by nature incapable of answering the difficult questions asked of it in the most recent post in this series. It might be suggested that some mistakes have been made with regard to something that has been said concerning either Wicca or the questions asked of it. Someone might suggest that mistakes or misunderstandings of Wicca or its implications have come about. For example, it could be that the main source used for this series, Essential Wicca, is unreliable. It might also be that this book alone is simply not …

    Five Solas

    Protestant Christians believe in five Solas. They include Scripture alone which teaches salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. These principles stem from the Word of God as properly understood by God’s people throughout the centuries. The Church holds up the whole of Scripture as the infallible, inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient Word of God. This objective revelation is to inform the thoughts and behavior of every person who is created in the image of God (namely, everyone). The revelation of God to …
