Does Theism Foster Scepticism? | Reasonable Faith
Does Theism Foster Scepticism? | Reasonable Faith — These Q&A by Dr. William Lane Craig come right to my Inbox. I found this one particularly interesting. It mentions Plantinga’s argument against naturalism, Descarte’s evil demon (with a deceptive God version), as … Continue reading

Can you turn these into t-shirts and images for me?
If you know how to design these t-shirts, contact me! I want ichthus77.com somewhere on each t-shirt. No pocket t-shirts, and no close-fitting t-shirts. I hate white t-shirts, primary colors and pastels. I will give this project to whomever can … Continue reading

Groothuis’ "Christian Apologetics" ch.11: Cosmological Arguments
I very much enjoyed this chapter from Groothuis’ Christian Apologetics on cosmological arguments. There are three: Principal of Sufficient Reason (Leibniz), Kalam Cosmological Argument (Muslim theologians, St. Bonaventure, WLC, etc.), and what I’d like to call the Non-eternal Heat Death Argument (cool YouTube … Continue reading
Answering Lawrence Krauss’ marking Higgs Boson as "Godless" Particle
Scientists have found a subatomic particle they think may be the long-invoked Higgs Boson. In a blog called Cosmic Log on MSNBC.com, Alan Boyle quotes an email from Lawrence Krauss that deems the Higgs Boson the “Godless Particle”. To learn … Continue reading

Groothuis’ "Christian Apologetics" ch.10: The Ontological Argument
This chapter from Groothuis’ Christian Apologetics on the ontological argument will probably boggle my mind forever. Here’s what I’ve got, though. The first premise below is okay, because the idea of a perfect being is conceivable (not contradictory). Anselm’s first ontological argument:1. God … Continue reading
Groothuis’ "Christian Apologetics" ch.9: In Defense of Theistic Arguments
One thing I found helpful in this chapter of Groothuis’ Christian Apologetics was the distinction between general revelation and natural theology. Not all general revelation is ‘natural’–“God may have revealed himself in a way not susceptible to argumentation. If so, this general revelation … Continue reading
Groothuis’ "Christian Apologetics" ch.8: Faith, Risk and Rationality
Selected favorite quotes from Groothuis’ Christian Apologetics: p. 158: “Pascal does not mention hell overtly in his famous argument.” p. 161: “First, prudential matters do not determine beliefs; they merely prime the pump for investigation and consideration. One must consider the credibility … Continue reading
Groothuis’ "Christian Apologetics" ch.7: Why Truth Matters Most
Selected favorite quotes from Groothuis’ Christian Apologetics: p. 147-148: “most postmodernists are not skeptics but nonrealists. Knowledge for them is not difficult but easy: just assent to the language game in which we find ourselves–unless we deem it a totalizing metanarrative.” p. … Continue reading
The Humean-Platonic tripartite (Ought-Is-Belief) theory of (moral) knowledge
Our beliefs, moral or otherwise, in order to be knowledge, must be ‘both’ justified (ought) by reasons ‘and’ true (is) to reality, satisfying both Plato and Hume. Read my latest post all about that here. About Portfolio Twitter | Facebook | Google+ | Request Project
