The best criticism I have read of Naturalism is found in CS Lewis’s book Miracles. I recommend this to theists and atheists alike.  While I’m on this topic I would like to ask: isn’t “natural selection” an oxymoron? After all, to “select” something, there must first be someone or something doing the selecting. The idea of an automated selection process that spontaneously initiates, executes, and sustains itself (from NOTHING no less) is so absurd it doesn’t even warrant serious debate.

If you truly believe the “natural selection” LIE (a lie  perpetrated by the “free” thinkers whose pride prevents them from SEEING this life is strictly about redemption and reconciliation) then I urge you to go try this experiment: (more…)

When the FBI is tasked with developing a criminal profile to assist law enforcement in solving a crime, they rely greatly on patterns. That is, they mine historical crime data, evidence, testimony, psychological profiles, handwriting samples, demographics, parenting styles, sibling count, and a litany of other stores to determine what type of person would commit “x” type of crime. This science is called “profiling.”  An enthusiast of both mystery and criminology, I routinely use the same technique to evaluate the merits of books I read. Usually I can establish a “motive” by the first or second chapter. Admittedly, that was not the case with Francis Collins’ book The Language of God. (more…)

I have noticed a lot of atheists are now asserting Christ would have nothing to do with Christianity if he lived in our age. Moreover they assert Christianity was formed without His consent, and misrepresents His teachings. The image at left was lifted from a blog called notjesusfault.com. The purpose of the website (and I can safely presume the intent of anyone who cites its creed) is to ” to “vindicate Jesus from Christianity” … oh and, ahem, “encourage an important discussion about Christianity’s fidelity to Jesus’ message and mission.”

I’ll do my best not to laugh too hard at the absurdity of the idea that Christ hates Christianity. I will limit my analogies to (more…)

I recently read on a Christian-turned-atheist  blog that the Christian “story” [notice atheists frequently refer to Christ as a "story" so they can  reduce Him to fairy tale straw man and then kick him over with no effort] is a “absurd and evil.” Embedded in the post was a YouTube video depicting a South Park-like parody of Jesus explaining to a panel of angels his reasons for coming to the earth to “sacrifice himself for himself.”

When viewing these sorts of indignant videos (there are much better out there, by the way), I can’t help but notice a common thread between them: the atheist’s mind is always focused on darkness, not light. (more…)

I have observed both rabid theist and the rabid atheist recruiting for their respective teams. One day–today actually–something most peculiar occurred to me about these two warring chaps. I noticed they both employ the same tactic to garner allegiance for their respective contingents. More specifically, when cornered they both attempt to get their audience focused strictly on the darkest, most deplorable of their enemy’s behavior so they can then present the light of antithetical alternative.
