FacePalm of the Day - Debunking Christianity: On How to Answer a Presuppositionalist

John Loftus has recently posted an attempt to answer the challenge to Atheism posed by Presuppositional Apologetics.  He fails. I'm not even willing to describe it as a "good try" because that would be lying. 

Tim Shaughnessy is posting at DC a one note song. It doesn't matter what tune we sing, his song remains the same:
Christianity only has ONE presupposition. We presuppose the truth of the bible. God and his word cannot be divorced and are synonymous with one another so we could also say that we presuppose the God of the bible as true.
Okay then, let's sing this note. Let's presuppose the Bible and the God in it, yes! But let's first understand the Bible and the God in it. Q.E.D.

Could the God of the Bible exist but the Bible be false? Nope.  However just like Loftus is woefully incapable of correctly describing what "faith" is and is not, he doesn't know what Presuppostional Apologetics is. I have collected a few audios and videos and articles that would help anyone who is confused. Just follow the link.

Apologist Interview: J. Warner Wallace - Apologetics 315

I really enjoyed Brian Auten's interview of J Warner Wallace. Wallace's ministry is amazing and unique in my experience. I had never considered valuable it would be to consider the evidence for Christianity from the point of view of a Cold Case Detective. Really good interview!

Michael Licona on Bible Contradictions (MP3) - Apologetics 315

Brian Auten has recently posted an interview of Dr Michael Licona by Dr Frank Turek. They discussed Licona's most recent research into how ancient first/second century historians like Plutarch wrote and recorded history and how their historiography and writing relates to and mirrrors how the Gospels were written. Good stuff linked below.

Truthbomb Apologetics: Video: "If Good and Evil Exists, God Exists" featuring Peter Kreeft

Over at his blog, Truthbomb Apologetics, posted a great video of Dr Peter Kreeft explaining why the fact that there is good and evil means that God does exist. It's a good argument for God's existence using morality.
