Apologetics 315: Apologist Interview: Matthew Flannagan

I really enjoyed the interview of Matthew Flannagan. Brian Auten asks him great questions about his work as an apologist. He's from New Zealand and has been growing an international reputation. This is well-worth listening to.

What Contemporary Physics and Philosophy Tell Us About Nature and God

I really enjoyed the lecture. a lot of good points were brought up. I have to admit that it was put on by the Discovery institute. Many atheist hate the institute and think that they are willing to practice bad science inorder to believe in the god of the Bible. I have a different viewpoint. I ask anyone who disagrees that there is evidence found in Physics pointing to God would listen to these lectures and point out why they are wrong in detail. Yes, in case you are wondering, I am calling you out.

Debunking Christianity: Lee Strobel, You Are Just Plain Stupid!

John Loftus posted the following commentary and video.
I like Bishop John Shelby Spong. I've read a couple of his books more than a decade ago and they were eye-opening to me. He presents a superior case against Christian fundamentalism. Watch Spong in action below but take special note of how utterly stupid Lee Strobel is at the end. He merely repeats platitudes that Biblical scholars have long ago debunked. Sorry Lee but you are one ignorant man.


Let's discuss just what "stupid" is. I keep hearing Loftus and others completely agree with some of the fallacies Bishop Spong kept bringing up and making it seem like all Christian Scholars agree with him and the minority who don't are either uneducated and biased for Christianity because of their faith. I disagree because I know of many well-educated and researched scholars who disagree with the conclusions reached by Loftus and Spong.
I think the real reason Loftus doesn't like Strobel is because Strobel used to be an atheist and flies in the face of Loftus' rhetoric that Christians are Christians because they were raised that way and reasonable people become atheists when they look at the evidences for themselves. The thing that Loftus seems to forget is that Strobel isn't the only one who comes to Christ from a non-Christian background. Just because I did does not mean everyone does.
