The Identity Argument for the Soul

Can We Impose Our Preferences On The External World?

The Canon Conspiracy
By Timothy Fox I’ve always been intrigued by conspiracy theories. New World Order, Illuminati, stuff like that. Christianity has its own share of conspiracy theories, like the existence of “lost” gospels suppressed by the Church. However, we all must wonder why the...
If Evolution Were True, What Would Happen To Adam And Eve?
By Evan Minton If evolution were true, what would we Christians do about the Bible's teachings on Adam and Eve, their relationship with sin's entrance into the world, and the doctrine of original sin? As I've argued in several blog posts on this website, I believe...

By Evan Minton Some non-Christians, mainly Muslims, ask why Jesus had to die on the cross in order for us to be saved. "Why does God need a blood sacrifice?" They'll ask, "Why can't He simply just forgive us?" This objection was recently posed to me in the comment...
Why Should Christians Care About Logic?
By Andrew Cabrera I was at a Christmas party a few years ago and someone walked up to me and began talking to me about my views on God. At one point in the conversation he asked the age-old question, “Can God make a rock so heavy that he himself can’t lift it?” Among...
Why Evil Disproves Atheism
How can a good God exist when there is so much evil in the world? Many people doubt the existence of God because of the existence of evil. But evil doesn’t disprove God—evil disproves atheism! How so? Evil can’t exist on its own, it only exists as a parasite in...
What Happens to Our Souls When We Die?

Christianity Is Based in Truth, Not Superstition
By Al Serrato My last post dealt with the belief, common among skeptics, that Christianity is simply a form of superstition. Modern “science-minded” people reject superstitions, and so religious belief holds no interest for them. Historic Christian doctrine is in fact...
The “Hardware” of Life Argument

Why Science Needs God
Atheists are fond of asserting that religion and science are at war, and that science supports atheism. Upon closer review, however, “science” doesn’t support atheism or anything else. Why not? Because science doesn’t say anything—scientists do! Science is a...
Why Atheism Makes Reason Impossible
How many times have you read or heard atheists claim to be champions of reason? They even organize “reason” rallies and call themselves “free thinkers.” There’s just one problem: there is no “free” and there is no “thinking” going on if atheism is true. Atheism...
