“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
By Joel Furches The Marvel Movie franchise is arguably the most epic enterprise in movie history. The series has a number of stand-out characters; however, two stand out more than the others. In fact, their differences stand in such firm relief so as to culminate in a...
Book Review: The Creator Revealed
By Luke Nix Introduction Today I am excited to bring you a review of a book that I have been anticipating for a little over a year and a half. In January 2017 particle physicist and University of Oklahoma professor, Dr. Michael G. Strauss (check out...
Can Empathy Ground Morality?
By Timothy Fox One of the most powerful arguments for the existence of God is the moral argument. Basically, an objective moral law requires a Moral Lawgiver. But many skeptics still aren’t convinced. They claim that they don’t need God or some holy book to tell them...
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
By Terrell Clemmons The Wall Street Journal commissioned Richard Dawkins and Karen Armstrong to respond independently to the question, “Where does evolution leave God?” Their answers became an article in the Life & Style section called Man vs. God. Richard Dawkins...
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!
By Ryan Leasure We’ve all felt it. The sense of guilt overwhelmed us. The pastor brings his sermon to a close, but before he concludes, he gives the congregation one final exhortation. Go tell others about Jesus. He says if Jesus was willing to lay down his life for...
How The Discovery Of The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Falsified Atheism

You Gotta Be More Specific

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...
Why the Problem of Evil is a Problem
by Aaron Brake “If you hate evil, hate sin.” —Clay Jones— Introduction The so-called problem of evil is one of the most common objections raised against the Christian faith. Perhaps no one has more succinctly stated the apparent contradiction between an all-loving,...
Apathy, Atheism, and the Absurdity of Life Without God
by Aaron Brake Here is a statement that may seem controversial at first but upon reflection the truth of which becomes more apparent: If God does not exist and there is no life after death, then there is no ultimate meaning, value, or purpose in life. The question of...
