Groothuis’ "Christian Apologetics" ch.12: The Design Argument
Resuming our discussion of Groothuis’ Christian Apologetics: “[Dembski’s] method of detecting intelligent causes is already accepted in several areas of science, namely, archaeology, forensic science, intellectual property law, insurance claims investigation, cryptography, random number generation and the search for extra terrestrial intelligence … Continue reading
Does "judgment" contradict the Gospel? The Point.
This past week I’ve been doing a study of the Gospels, highlighting every time Jesus talks about the reason he became flesh. One thing that has become obvious is that the Good News is synonymous with the kingdom of God/heaven … Continue reading

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

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
