“The father of modern linguistics, Noam Chomsky—a self-professed atheist/agnostic—said that the process by which the human mind achieved its present state of complexity is “a total mystery”. He further wrote: It is perfectly safe to attribute this development to ‘natural selection’, so long as we realize that there is no substance to this assertion, that it amounts to nothing more than a belief that there is some naturalistic explanation for these phenomena.” Read more...
Read MoreGreat Strategy to Remember!
“Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. The cure for this is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is. Worthy of reverence because it really understands human nature. Attractive because it promises true good.” Blaise Pascal, Pensees Blaise Pascal was an influential mathematician, scientist and theologian. He...
Read MoreThe Big Bang Theory – An Unquestionable Belief!
“…Although the JW’s discoveries are radically inconsistent with secular predictions about galaxy formation, these predictions will just be changed soon to accommodate them. Compared to all the other fatal problems that the Big Bang model has—and all the contortions that the secular community has gone through to protect it—creating new predictions for accelerated galaxy formation will be child’s play. The continued survival of the Big Bang model—despite a long list of...
Read MoreAtheists Lack Beliefs…or Do They Believe?…
The American Atheists say that “Atheism is one thing: A lack of belief in gods…Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. Atheism is too often defined incorrectly as a belief system. To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods…” “…Atheism is not a belief system nor is...
Read MoreCool Testimony!!
I came across this article in an older Think & Believe Newsletter. As I was, I think you will be blessed by Lanny’s testimony here: “All of the AOI speakers minister to thousands of people every year both in groups and one-to-one. Because of the traveling nature of AOI’s ministry, we share for a brief time, but then travel down the road to a new event. Mostly, all we are able to do is plant a seed of truth and encouragement, and pray that it falls on fertile soil. The...
Read More2 Types of Willful Ignorance
Many people don’t want the Bible to be True. There are 2 types of willful ignorance: “Both varieties of wilful ignorance flow from not wanting there to be a Creator to whom we are accountable. Some people know where the light-switch is, but won’t flick it, remaining in the dark. Others have turned the light on, and quickly turned it off, not liking what they saw and not wanting others to see it either… …Some of the wilfully ignorant flatly reject the information...
Read MoreAn Atheist Who Searched:
“I tried something that I’m not sure many people do. Every few weeks, I would study a particular philosopher’s take on life …Nietzsche, Hume, Dostoevsky, Sartre, Plato, etc. and then try to apply it to my own life. I was looking for the perfect, workable philosophy for life. I found over and over, that either their philosophies seemed lacking, or were too impractical to implement. But I kept searching. I was challenging my friend with every question...
Read More“If God is real, why doesn’t he just show himself to me?”
I was just thinking the other day… …I know…dangerous, right? I have heard some skeptics of Christianity say: “If God is real, why doesn’t he just show himself to me?” I have this to say: If you think that you need God to show Himself to you and you are, like I am, a man or woman of science – then I believe that possibly through stacks of evidence, God will show Himself to you – you might even prefer that way of “proving” God rather than God...
Read MoreWOW! Yale Professor says that “Darwin has failed!”
“David Gelernter, a famed Yale University professor, has publicly renounced his belief in Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, calling it a “beautiful idea” that has been effectively disproven.” “My argument is with people who dismiss intelligent design without considering, it seems to me — it’s widely dismissed in my world of academia as some sort of theological put up job — it’s an absolutely serious scientific argument,” …Gelernter said an ideological bent has...
Read MoreRichard Dawkins Says “Evangelical Christians have really sort of got it right in a way…”
To Richard Dawkins: “Was there a particular point, or something you read, or an experience you had that said, ‘Yes this is it, God does not exist’?” Now note carefully the following statement by Richard Dawkins: “Oh well, by far the most important was understanding evolution. I think the evangelical Christians have really sort of got it right in a way, in seeing evolution as the enemy. Whereas the more, what shall we say, sophisticated theologians are quite happy to...
