Apologetics debunked

Evil is Not the Absence of Good

March 22, 2010

I have been seeing the argument lately that God did not create evil, because evil does not really exist, but is instead the absence of good.  This is used to argue against things like the problem of evil.  While sometimes this argument is said to have been made to an atheist teacher by Albert Einstein, [...]

William Lane Craig’s Paradigm Paradox

March 7, 2010

Wow, I’m sorry to be writing about this again so soon after addressing it the last time, but every time I turn around I am coming up with more problems with the argument from moral authority.  Now, this can be considered to be the explanation of why the suggested third option for the moral dilemma [...]

William Lane Craig’s Ontological Argument Debunked

February 28, 2010

William Lane Craig has many arguments for the existence of God, and one of them is the ontological argument.  He actually uses Plantinga’s ontological argument.  I would have to say that the ontological argument is his weakest though since it can be easily turned around to prove that God doesn’t exist.  This may be why [...]

Does Big Bang Theory Prove the Universe Began From Nothing?

February 26, 2010

Well, I have been dealing with a few theists that believe that the big bang proves that the universe had a beginning.  I’m tired of retyping this, so I figured I would make a nice handy blog post that I can turn these people to. The Big Bang How far we’ve come since the big [...]

Circular Reasoning and the Primacy of God

February 22, 2010

When dealing with arguments for the existence of God, we often end up in a circular reasoning situation.  This is necessary, simply because of the nature of the argument.  If you say that God is the source for something, but hold that nothing precedes God, that all becomes necessarily circular. If you say, God is [...]

Argument From Moral Authority Debunked AGAIN!

February 22, 2010

I previously discussed and debunked the argument from moral authority.  While I showed that it could not be proven one way or the other, I feel I can fully debunk the argument now.

There are no true Christians

February 15, 2010

When talking to Christians, often they say that person X was not a true Christian if they did action Y, or if they believe Z.  This is the “no true Scotsman” fallacy in a pure form, but Christians don’t seem to understand what they do when they make this kind of statement. Criminals are not [...]

Christians and Muslims are Idol worshipers

February 14, 2010

In dealing with Christians, I brought up the fact that Christianity has many similarities with early pagan religions, and even the church fathers knew this, and was told that the problem with pagan religions is that they were idol worshipers.  It got me thinking about what that means. What is an idol? Well, it’s rather [...]

Matt Slick’s TAG further refuted.

November 30, 2009

A few weeks ago, I went through and refuted Matt Slick’s TAG argument.  Since then, I have talked to Matt a couple times on Paltalk and have realized that the problem he has is the idea that there are things that can be absolutely known to be objective.  His claim is that since minds are [...]

Can God live outside of time?

November 30, 2009

It is often argued that something can exist outside of time.  In a way, this is true, but the thing that exists outside of time must be completely static.  There is no ability for something to change state outside of time since such a change would create time all by itself. Time is the measure [...]
