On Tuesday night, I debated atheist Christopher Hitchens, author of God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, at Virginia Commonwealth University. The topic was, “Does God Exist?” Thanks be to God (and to you for your prayers) because I don’t think the...

God is Not Dead Yet
The following is from Christian Philosopher William Lane Craig's recent article "God is not Dead Yet" in Christianity Today. I encourage you to read the entire article. I include this section on the moral argument because of our recent discussion here about how the...
Evolution Cannot Explain Morality
Some atheists, such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, insist that morality is simply the product of evolution. Common moral sensibilities (Don’t murder, rape, steal, etc.) help ensure our evolutionary survival. There are number of problems with...
The Religion in Science
If current Big Bang cosmology is correct (and the evidence is very good that it is) then the entire space-time universe exploded into being out of nothing (see previous posts God and the Astronomers and Who Made God? ). Therefore, the Cause of the universe would...

Atheists: What kind of God would you accept?
Recently I posed a question to our fellow truth seekers who are atheists, and we had a great response and good dialog. It let us understand a lot of the feelings and reasons for either accepting or not accepting the God of the Christians if He was real. So here's...
Suffering and Evil: Can God do anything?
Can God do Anything? Can he create a stone so big that he cannot move it? Part 1 In a response to one of our readers, I said that God cannot do anything. The reader responded? “Then what about Miracles.” In another post an atheist reader said: “... God can suspend the...
Why Trust Reason if You’re an Atheist?
If you read the threads of several of the blog entries on this site, you will see both atheists and Christians charging one another with committing “logical fallacies.” The assumption both sides are making is that there is this objective realm of reason out there...
Is the Problem of Evil and Suffering Insurmountable?
So how do Christians respond to this Epicurean question? Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. If God can abolish evil, and God really...
What if the God of the Christians was real?
Frank will be back in the US anytime soon, so he'll be taking back the helm shortly. So as he returns, I'd like to ask our Atheist fellow travelers in search of truth this question: Atheist readers, what if you were to suddenly find out tomorrow that the God of the...
Berlinski: An argument against Religion is an argument against Math
David Berlinski, a secular Jew and author of The Devil’s Delusion (a great read, I might add), interviewed himself a couple of years ago here, and had this exchange with himself: … But why should we take seriously religious beliefs that are lacking in evidence? DB: We...
Atheists: What Evidence Would You Need To See?
There are several intelligents atheists and skeptics who have responded to posts on this blog in recent weeks. I appreciate the spirited and mostly respectful debate, as well as the contribution of several theists and Christians. I'd like to pose a question to the...
Who Really Commits the “God of the Gaps” Fallacy?
The following is adapted from chapter 6 of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist: The God-of-the-Gaps fallacy occurs when someone falsely believes that God caused the event when it really was caused by undiscovered natural phenomena. For example, people used to...
Who Made God?
The following is from I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, pages 92-93: In light of all the evidence for a beginning of the space-time universe, the Beginner must be outside the space-time universe. When God is suggested as the Beginner, atheists are quick to...
God and the Astronomers
Since the post Darwinists Have a Lot of Explaining to Do asks atheists to offer causes for at least ten truths about reality, I thought I would present my perspective on each of those truths. We'll start with the origin of the universe out of nothing. The following...
Darwinists Have a Lot of Explaining to Do
There have been a couple of posts on this blog that have spurred quite a good discussion (see below: Atheists Have No Basis for Morality, and “Expelled” is a Must See: Freedom is the Victim). While there have been some good points made back and forth, it seems like...
Atheists Have No Basis for Morality
Monday night at UNC Wilmington, despite no cooperation from the school (see my last post), just over 200 people showed up for part 1 of I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist. Several atheists asked questions-- actually made statements-- and struggled greatly...

Atheists Have No Way Out: Christians Do
Atheist Christopher Hitchens is morally outraged with the Christian belief that God created us and put us under Him without our consent. (This is typical of atheists-- they have moral objections to God while they have no objective grounds by which to make moral...
Turning the Tables on the Atheist
Before I attended Seminary, I took a class in Constitutional law at The George Washington University. The class was taught by a very liberal law professor who made it known she was an atheist. When we got to the so-called “separation of church and state” issue, the...
