Atheists Need to Fact-Check Better (Reblog)

Nate

Ran across this post over at The Musings of Thomas Verenna, and I think he makes a great point. He states that the image below is something that's going around Facebook right now, and what it claims is simply incorrect. If you'd like to see all the reasons why he finds fault with this image,… Continue reading Atheists Need to Fact-Check Better (Reblog)

The Ultimate Blasphemy

Nate

There's a blog I read from time to time called Thomistic Bent. The latest post is a short video that tries to give a good reason for why the Bible says God commanded the Israelites to commit genocide against the Canaanites. The reasoning of this explanation is almost as perverse as the stories themselves. As… Continue reading The Ultimate Blasphemy

The Evidence for Evolution Part 2

Nate

You can find the first post in this series here. Time Before we can really dig in (if you'll forgive the pun) to what the fossils tell us, we need to establish a timeline. Many (most?) detractors of evolution maintain that the earth is less than 10,000 years old, because if you take the Bible… Continue reading The Evidence for Evolution Part 2

3 Questions for Atheists — 2nd Question

Nate

If you haven't read the first post, you can find it here. Otherwise, I'll assume we're all on the same page. Here's question 2: 2. You behave ethically. I suggest that is because you were brought up christian. Most atheists choose to behave reasonably ethically, but why? Are some things really right and wrong, if… Continue reading 3 Questions for Atheists — 2nd Question

3 Questions for Atheists — 1st Question

Nate

A week or two ago, friend and fellow blogger unkleE posed some questions to atheists, and instead of getting into them in that thread, I decided to address them here. 1. Do humans have choice to change the course of events? If so, how does it work in a physicalist universe? If not, who is… Continue reading 3 Questions for Atheists — 1st Question

The Evidence for Evolution Part 1

Nate

When I was growing up, I never for a minute considered that evolution might be true. I already "knew" that the Bible was the inerrant word of God, so evolution was simply error. And in my high school biology classes, our teacher made it clear that she had to teach us about evolution by law,… Continue reading The Evidence for Evolution Part 1
