Recently the “Bahnsen Burner” Dawson Bethrick took a swing at Choosing Hats founder and administrator Brian Knapp’s contribution to The Portable Presuppositionalist as a part of his ongoing attempt to provide an answer to the Problem of Induction from within the confines of the Objectivist worldview. Mr. Bethrick quotes from page 124 of Knapp’s “Induction [...]

The “Bahnsen Burner” Dawson Bethrick is busy writing a number of posts concerning the Problem of Induction that I discussed with him some time ago. In his most recent post Mr. Bethrick repeats where he thinks David Hume went wrong on induction thus allegedly setting himself up for a future post on how Objectivism rids itself of [...]

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”
Genesis 1:26 (ESV)
Even this portion of a verse of Scripture has serious ramifications for apologetic methodology.

Nocterro requested that we discuss the three topics of the reliability of Scripture, the self-deception of atheists, and [...]
For some time now I have wanted to post concerning honesty in apologetics. Honesty appears to be just as scarce in much apologetic material as humility. There are a number of reasons I have not yet written the post. One such reason is that I have been a bit under the weather. My desk is [...]

What we believe drives what we’re defending, obviously. When someone defending another position that claims to be Christian interacts with us, how are we to respond? Many times, that will tell unbelievers as much about us as our interaction with them does. Wes Widner, featured recently due to his citation of Open [...]
