A Deeper Understanding Of Christ’s Love Through Suffering

“How Would You Respond to This?”
By Timothy Fox Once people discover that you’re a Christian thinker, they often start coming to you with all of the objections they hear: “The Bible is hopelessly corrupt.” “Jesus never existed.” “Science disproves God.” Your friends will offer you the objections and...
Dealing with the “Who Created God” Objection
By J. Brian Huffling It never fails. Offer an argument for God’s existence and almost invariably you will hear, “Well, who created God?” With some arguments, this may be a legitimate objection. I have argued elsewhere that philosophical proofs for God’s existence are...
Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?
By Evan Minton Sometimes, in conversations with atheists, they try to say that “Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence” Are they right? One problem with this statement is that it could possibly be self-defeating. Think about it, the claim itself, to say...
Captain America & the Moral Argument

Can Empathy Ground Morality?

From a Sonnet to a Savior: Finding ways to present a reason for Christian faith
By Michael Sherrard A little while ago I was discussing a sonnet by Jon Donne with several high school students. (I know you discuss sonnets all the time.) The sonnet by Donne was one that mocked death, comparing it to a sleeping pill. Actually, it compared it to...
When Debating Atheists: Those Who Lack A Belief Lack An Argument
I just had a two hour plus debate with Dr. Michael Shermer, the publisher of Skeptic Magazine, on the question: “What better explains reality: Theism or Atheism?” Given the title of the debate, both of us had the burden of proof to detect the cause (or causes) for...
Science And Imperialism

Q&A: Answering Questions Of An Agnostic Brother
By Evan Minton Hi Evan, I really like your work, really helped me. But I have a brother, he is agnostic, and he has a few objections I can’t answer (it’s so uncomfortable), so I decided to ask you. The first is on skepticism in general. Shouldn’t we be skeptical about...
Pastors Get Scared Sharing Their Faith Too!

Why Do You Believe In God?
by Justin Steckbauer If someone asks me, “Why do you believe in God?” I don’t necessarily say “I just have faith.” Many might say that. But for someone who asks that question, I need to know how to defend my faith. So my response is this: I think it’s very reasonable...
Robin Collins And Atheist Peter Millican Discuss The Fine-Tuning Of The Universe For Life
By Wintery Knight You might remember Peter Millican from the debate he had with William Lane Craig. I ranked that debate as one of the 3 best I have ever seen, along with the first Craig vs. Dacey debate and the second Craig vs. Sinnott-Armstrong debate. Details:...
God’s Origin Story
By Timothy Fox In my last article, I compared superhero origin stories to the beginning of the universe. Every superhero needs an origin story, and so does the universe. We need a reason why it exists. I argued the best explanation is a God who caused the universe to...
Comics and Cosmic Origins
By Timothy Fox Every superhero has an origin story. Spider-man was bitten by a radioactive spider. Batman’s parents were murdered before his very eyes as a child. Superman’s parents sent him on a rocket to earth where he was discovered and raised by the Kents. Origin...
