Refusing Antithetical Assumptions
We make our gods unknowable entities. The God of the Bible is knowable. Throughout all of Scripture God never presumes Himself to be unknown or unknowable but rather known. The Bible contains no proofs in the strictest sense for the existence of God. The Bible starts out with a declaration that God exists and assumes [...]
Paul Manata Reviews Michael Sudduth’s "The Reformed Objection to Natural Theology"
Paul Manata has written another one of his excellent reviews. Though I have already read the book, I have been hoping that he would review Michael Sudduth’s The Reformed Objection to Natural Theology and Manata has not disappointed. The book is rather expensive and has much to say that many of those who object to [...]
Covenantal Apologetics and Other Religions
Introduction Nick Norelli recently wrote: “I think the thing is that plenty of presuppositionalists debate (look at James White who debates like every other day) and I’m sure they employ their method, but I think it lends itself to certain subjects better than others. For example, when I reviewed Gary Demar’s book on Bahnsen’s apologetic [...]
Bahnsen and Bare Possibility
Historically, when David Hume and Immanuel Kant exposed the invalidity of the theistic proofs, apologists generally balked at returning to revelation as the basis for their certainty of God’s existence. They elected, rather, to maintain status in the the blinded eyes of the “worldly wise” by attempting to prove Christianity’s credibility by means of arguments [...]

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Irrefutable Evidence that Christianity is True!"
In a recent post I wrote: One can only hope that Dawson Bethrick’s eyes will be opened to the absolute foolishness of putting forth so much effort in an attempt to refute a worldview that he constantly claims is so silly. If you want evidence that Christianity is true you need not look any further [...]
Science Is Not That Simple (Part 3)
Part 1 Part 2 Chalmers also challenges the idea that facts provide a firm and reliable foundation for scientific knowledge. This argument falls in line with the other arguments. Further difficulties concerning the reliability of the observational basis of science arise from some of the ways in which judgments about the adequacy of observation statements [...]
Science Is Not That Simple (Part 2)
(For the first part of Science Is Not That Simple click here.) Chalmers argues against the common idea that facts precede and are separate from theory.
