Atheistic Claim: “The laws of logic are uncreated and…are necessary…Things that are necessary do not require an explanation of their existence.” Answer: Saying, in essence, “they just exist” is not a cause or justification. Atheists often object when we say God exists first. A supernatural, personal creator is actually a reasonable cause for everything else. The atheistic perspective is still unjustified in this. Mike, Explaining Logic, September...
Read MoreEvolutionary Claim: “The Laws of Logic exist now because we have higher evolved brain chemistry.”
Answer: “If the laws of logic are just electro-chemical connections in the brain, then they would differ somewhat from person to person because everyone has different connections in their brain,” and thus they would be an arbitrary standard, not universal. “Rational debate would be impossible.” Jason Lisle, Atheism: An Irrational Worldview, October 10, 2007, Answers in Genesis,...
Read MoreYou Can’t Not Have Faith!
Notice from the pictures below that everyone…even the atheist and even the agnostic live by faith. You have to have faith that when you turn the keys to your car that everything will work correctly and that it will start…although some people need more faith in that. Science is simply a method of gaining more knowledge through observation and experimentation. So everyone has faith and anyone can do science as I could also add to the picture. These are all ultimately...
Read MoreDon’t Christians Have Blind Faith?
Many people have a misunderstanding of what faith is. I have heard faith defined as: believing in something with no evidence for it. I would call that blind faith, but faith – even faith in God – does not have to be blind. God is not opposed to evidence and I don’t believe that he is calling us to blind faith. In fact, as you see from the picture below, God have given multiple examples of evidence (and more) proclaiming the Truth of Himself and of His Word!...
Read MoreHow do you prove something 100%?
You might say that you would just have to stack up a lot of evidence and that scientific evidence would prove your conclusion. But in every case, you still have to have faith in the lab equipment working correctly and even that the laws of nature will continue to be constant as we would expect (for example, that gravity would not all of the sudden turn off – which is possible, because we can’t say that that is impossible). You may be able to get 99.9% sure of...
Read MoreDid Adam and Eve have Belly Buttons?
Since Adam and Eve were not born of a woman, it is possible that they may not have had belly buttons since they didn’t need an umbilical cord connecting them to a mother. This likely was yet another reminder and evidence to the people living in that day of the fact that God specially created Adam and Eve. Think of it, young children for hundreds of years could have gone to visit great-great-great Grandpa Adam and great-great-great Grandma Eve to ask “Can we see your...
Read MoreWhich came first, the Chicken or the Egg?
Answering Tuesday’s question: Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg? We see in Gen 2 that Adam was created with enough intelligence (and maturity) to name the animals, so he was probably older than a child. We also see that God created the trees with fruit and seed in them which means that these are mature plants – since we know it may take years for some plants or trees to be old enough to have food. So we can probably say God created the mature chicken first (possibly...
Read MoreHow Would You Answer…?
How does this fit?
Have you ever tried to put a puzzle together without the picture on the lid? It’s pretty hard isn’t it? How about this – have you ever tried to put a puzzle together with the wrong picture? It’s much more confusing! This shows how important having the right worldview is – nothing makes sense unless you have the right worldview then all the pieces fit into place just right!
Read MoreWhere Did All The Water Go?
“If there really was a global flood, where did all that water go?” “How could there be a worldwide flood? We do not have enough water to cover the whole earth above the tallest mountains.” These arguments sound good on the surface until one dives a bit deeper. The answer to this question is amazingly simple yet well-known (and even Christian) scholars have never thought of it. In fact, popular “progressive Creation” teacher, Hugh...
Read More“No Intelligent Designer Would Have…”
“No Intelligent Designer would have created the eye that way – it is wired backwards!” “Is there material at the front of the retina that limits some vision? Yes! If that material wasn’t there, could we be able to see farther and in dimly lit rooms? Yes! Therefore, since I could design it better, that means there can’t be a God. Wrong! That is merely the third stage of deception that students are subtly led into. First of all, this is an argument from perceived...
Read MoreCould Adam have really named all of the animals in one day?
“There are several factors, which may not be immediately obvious to the casual reader, that need to be considered. Firstly, Adam did not have to go out and round up or track any of these animals. Genesis 2:19 clearly states that God brought the animals to Adam. Secondly, although many objectors have claimed that the species Adam had to observe and name would have numbered in the millions, the actual number would almost certainly have been only a small fraction of this. Note...
