The Law of Cause and Effect states that every effect must have a cause. One apologist says “common sense is foreign to many when God is brought into the discussion.” This is true when naturalists are forced to try to explain the cause of the universe without the most logical cause (the all-powerful, outside of time and space, God). Jeff Miller, God and the Laws of Science: The Law of Causality, 2011, Apologetics Press,...
Read MoreDebating Over the Existence of Air!
“The debate over the existence of God is a bit like a debate over the existence of air. Can you imagine someone arguing that air doesn’t actually exist? He would offer seemingly excellent “proofs” against the existence of air, while simultaneously breathing air and expecting that we can hear his words as the sound is transmitted through the air. In order for us to hear and understand his claim, it would have to be wrong. Likewise, the atheist, in arguing that God does not...
Read MoreWhen 23 is greater than 100
Recently, my family and I were blessed to be able to help lead the Yellowstone Creation Tour and we had a blast! We had beautiful weather, we saw a lot of animals, and had great fellowship praising God and enjoying His creation together. Now, here is a confession…I am a nerd. I get excited about the furthering education about all of the history, the facts and the creation evidence as seen at Yellowstone and it is just an amazing experience to be able to go...
Read MoreAtheism is Irrational!
“He [the atheist] must still justify the laws of logic. Why do they exist? And what is the point of contact between the material physical world and the immaterial world of logic? In other words, why does the material universe feel compelled to obey immaterial laws? The atheist cannot answer these questions. His worldview cannot be justified; it is arbitrary and thus irrational.” Jason Lisle, Atheism: An Irrational Worldview, October 10, 2007, Answers in Genesis,...
Read MoreDid God Act Illogically?
Atheistic Question: Did God act illogically before He created the laws of logic? Or is God less than the laws of logic? Answer: The laws of logic “are rooted in God’s own nature. Indeed, some scholars think the passage ‘In the beginning was the Word [logos]’ (Jn 1:1) is accurately translated, ‘In the beginning was Logic (a divine, rational mind).’” Check out both of these pictures! J.P. Moreland, What Are the Three Laws of Logic, April...
Read More“An Ever-Receding Pocket of Scientific Ignorance”
Atheistic Claim: The claim that “God did it” is simply asserted as truth without any evidence to back it up. “God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance.” Answer: Atheists run into the same, but worse problems. They run into the laws of logic and their worldview cannot justify or explain them, whereas an all-powerful God is a valid and reasonable explanation. See recent posts from Tuesdays for more clarification on this...
Read More“God did it” vs “the Universe did it”
Atheistic Claim: The claim that “God did it” is simply asserted as truth without any evidence to back it up. Answer: Here is a quote from the father of physics, Sir Isaac Newton, “Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the Earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance…This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel...
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 MoreTo Be Remembered is To Live On!
Recently, I was going for a walk and I saw this phrase on a commemoration bench for a person that had passed away. To Be Remembered is to Live On. At first glance, I didn’t think too much about it and then I realized…wow…how sad that is. That is the only thing I know about that person or family, but if that is their hope…it isn’t hope! It reminded me of what hope really is! I think we are all honored when someone says an encouraging word to us that they were thinking...
