By Natasha Crain Popular Christian rapper Jahaziel made the news when he released a statement renouncing his faith (you can read the full message here). As I read his statement, I was really struck by something…the utter predictability of every claim he made against...

The Self-Refuting Nature of Naturalism
By Tim Stratton J.P. Moreland, in his book, “Scaling the Secular City: A Defense of Christianity,” claims that physicalism (often referred to as “naturalism”) is self-refuting for many reasons, but mainly because physicalism seems to deny the possibility of...
God’s Crime Scene
It’s about 2 a.m. on an August morning in 1979. A beautiful young nurse by the name of Lynne Knight is living in a bungalow behind a larger house in Torrance, California. As two police officers approach her door, they notice a chair overturned in the entryway and...
Atheists Steal Rights From God
Atheist Richard Dawkins has declared, “The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, and no good. Nothing but blind pitiless indifference... DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is,...
Is it Stupid to Believe in Miracles?
In my previous blog I defended the notion that it’s not stupid to believe in the creation of the universe by God. It seems fitting in this Christmas season to also look at another claim derided by skeptics – the possibility of miracles. Here is how Richard Dawkins...
The Eclipse of Christmas
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned – Isaiah 9:2 On March 19th 2007 the earth experienced one of the most fantastic and amazing events in the heavens – a total eclipse of the sun!...
Godbuster: A Debate With Elliot George
This past week I engaged in a radio debate with an atheist on Unbelievable on Premier Christian Radio (which you can listen to here). My interlocutor was a British atheist, a retired biology teacher who goes by the pseudonym Elliot George. In his book, Godbuster,...
Still Haven’t Found What You’re Looking For? C.S. Lewis, Bono and the Argument from Desire
For better or worse I was a child of the 80’s, and during that time a new rock band came on the scene that changed pop music, both in Britain, America and eventually the world. I immediately loved their sound as soon as I heard it. Their style was unique, and the...
Is Atheism a lack of belief in God?
It’s been fashionable lately for atheists to claim that atheism is “a lack a belief in God.” So when a theist comes along and says that atheists can’t support their worldview, some atheists will say something like, “Oh, we really don’t have a worldview. We just lack a...
Can Science Disprove God?
Suppose that there were no scientific evidence whatsoever for the existence of God, would that disprove God? Or would that necessarily make it irrational to believe in God? I argue that it wouldn’t – such an overly-skeptical view reveals a flawed epistemology (theory...
The Ken Ham vs. Bill Nye “Post-Debate” Round Up
Just as expected, the much anticipated and hyped debate between Kan Ham (CEO of Answers in Genesis) & Bill Nye (the “Science” Guy) sparked a “mini-blizzard” of blogs and articles from people on both sides of the debate (I guess this is just one more to add to the...
Does Causality Apply Outside of Space and Time?
During a radio debate I had with an atheist recently, I pointed out that the universe had a beginning and thus needs a cause. He responded by claiming that since there was no space or time prior to the creation event we shouldn’t appeal to the law of causality to...
“Eternity Has the Floor:” Another Look at Pascal’s Wager
Silent you stand before the altar of death! Life here and life after constitute an eternal conundrum; but its expiring spark awakens us to holy devotion and quiets every other voice except religion. Eternity has the floor. ~Alfred Nobel: read at his funeral (1896) The...
A Universe from Nothing? Dr. Krauss Explains Nothing
If Dr. Richard Dawkins is the atheist’s rock star of biology, Dr. Lawrence Krauss is the atheist’s rock star of physics (maybe only second to Stephen Hawking). An engaging speaker and winsome personality, Dr. Krauss is a theoretical physicist and professor at Arizona...
A Titanic Failure: Never Learning from Our Past
Rulers, Statesmen, Nations, are wont to be emphatically commended to the teaching which experience offers in history. But what experience and history teach is this, - that peoples and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced...
A Not So Bright Future: Technology, Atheism & the Death of Man
It is widely believed that the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche ushered in the twentieth century with his famous phrase, “God is dead…”[1] Nietzsche himself died in 1900. Obviously, atheism didn’t start in the twentieth century with Nietzsche. In fact, he was...
Does God Exist? Craig vs. Millican
Dr. William Lane Craig is probably the best debater for evangelical Christianity today. Rarely do Craig's opponents address his arguments, much less provide coherent refutations. Dr. Peter Millican at least attempts to refute Craig's arguments directly. This makes...
This Saturday on the National Mall in Washington, It's the Unreasonable Rally
This Saturday, March 24, on the National Mall in Washington D.C., atheists and secularists from all over the world will gather for a day of entertainment from guest speakers, comedians and musicians. The Reason Rally, which claims to be the "the largest secular event...
The Universe Had a Beginning
Cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin wrote a book in 2006 (Many Worlds in One) in which he refers to a theorem he developed with Alan Guth and Arvind Borde. Although not a believer in God but the mulitverse, Vilenkin says that their theorem proves that even if other...
The Dawkins Dilemma – Part 3
First, my apologies for having been away from the keyboard for the past 5 months. Unfortunately, my work activities have required that situation. As you may recall, I started a series last autumn examining the veracity of Dr. Richard Dawkins’ “The GOD Delusion”. In...
