Apologetics and Evidence

Have you ever wondered why there are so many religions in the world? I frequently hear that number being estimated at over 4000. Over 4000 religions in the world today! Have you ever thought about why there are so many?  The answer to this question will take some unpacking, so bear with me and think about the following for a moment…  Objective beauty   is something that, as an object, is beautiful. It is not just beautiful to the subject (or, to the observer), but is something that is beautiful in and of itself. Objective beauty is something nearly all subjects find beautiful because the object itself is beautiful. It does not need subjects to confirm its beauty in order for it to be beautiful.    1. If objective beauty exists, then God exists. 2. Objective beauty exists. 3. Therefore, God exists.   If there is anything at all (even if it is only one thing) that is objectively beautiful, then objective beauty exists. If there are things in the universe that...

There have been so many technological advancements in the last few centuries. I think of foam cement , plastic bottle houses, theological ideas, scientific debates, archaeological connections, not to mention electronic technology, etc. The industrial revolution, for instance, changed the way products are made and the mass production of widgets and Spacely Sprockets means that everyone can have one. The internet allows the lightning fast communication of not only news, but also ideas and technology. Every generation in the past has marveled at how they have noticed the pace of change in their own time, but myself growing up with the internet (late Gen X), I can honestly say that because of the internet, times are changing at a pace the world has never before experienced. The internet has reached the world with new Ideas and has made much of it act as though the world is only made up of first world culture. All this data that I absorb gets me thinking about Matthew 24 . As he ...

 #shoutyourabortion = #shoutyourbulimianervosa Abortion is quite strange. One of the main arguments I hear for it is that it is good because the mother is unable to afford or to take care of the baby. But everyone knows about adoption. So what now? Another argument I hear is that women will have abortions if Roe v Wade is reversed in back alleys and such, so we shouldn’t reverse it. But when is it ok to murder a baby? Is it ok to murder a baby when women will be getting infections because they have unsterile environments for abortion? Seriously? Please tell me a better reason, a more convincing reason when killing babies is ok.  Something else I have to mention is that it seems that pro-choice adherents think that pro-lifers and abolitionists believe that the baby is of more value than the woman, but this is not the case. The idea is simple. Both the mother and the baby inside her are human, therefore they have the same value. I think of abortion like Bulimia Ne...
