Has the Church Become an Atheist Incubator?

by

I suppose I should first apologize for baiting you into reading this article with a catchy title. No, I don't actually suspect the church is creating a huge number of atheists, as there simply aren't that many of them (as vocal as they may be!). While their numbers are on the rise, they are statistically few. What I am going to argue the church is often creating, might be … [Read more...]

Top 5 Silly Statements I was Told in College

by

If you ever want a good laugh, just visit a college campus and listen in on some random conversations. The weirdest topics are discussed. Let's face it. Lots of dumb things are heard on college campuses. Most come from the mouths of arrogant undergrad students who think they know everything, but they're not the only ones...Sometimes professors take the cake! Especially when it … [Read more...]

The Scientific Method, Proof, and Skepticism

by

About a year ago I was having a conversation with a friend who told me that science had proven that God was not necessary for the universe to come into being. He concluded from that that God is not required to explain the existence of the universe, and he is justified in his belief that God does not exist. He claims that an honest look at the evidence will lead to this … [Read more...]

The Evil God

by

Stephen Law’s argument concerning Evil God was very interesting. Within the Internet discussion that followed some suggested this argument lends itself to a parallel moral argument. It goes like this: 1. If Evil God does not exist, then objective moral values do not exist. 2. Objective moral values do exist. 3. Therefore, Evil God exists. … [Read more...]

What is True Christianity(tm)? (part 1)

by

If one Christian is right on a matter of doctrine and this contradicts what another denomination believes on that same doctrine, then one is right and one is wrong.  Not a radical notion, but we see the same response from the atheists.  They sarcastically say that the one who thinks he's right must have found True Christianity™ and that he believes every other Christian will … [Read more...]

The War of the Worldviews (Pt.2)

by

Can you explain the differences between Christianity and the 6 other major Worldviews? Part 1 (pt.2 of 3) This is part 2 in our video class on foundational Christian Apologetics, entitled "The War of the Worldviews." Here I begin to cover what a worldview is, what the seven major worldviews are, and how each of them compares to Christian Theism in terms of their logical … [Read more...]

If You Believe Atheism Is True, Then Atheism Is False

by

Alex Rosenberg, the atheistic philosopher, ended his recent debate with William Lane Craig by admitting he believes that no thoughts are about anything. He meant exactly that. No thought is about anything. This may come as rather a shock to some readers. It's strange. It's really strange. One consequence of it (if Rosenberg is right) is that if you believe atheism is true, … [Read more...]

Love Wins Critique (Conclusion)

by

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 (I conclude my critique of Bell's book and also provide further resources) What Are The Implications of the Doctrine of Hell? First, what are the implications of Bell’s view? One issue is a modified view of God as his love has been redefined so that he is no longer holy.  The view seems concerned with rescuing the … [Read more...]

On an idiosyncratic faith

by

Bear with me as I offer some thoughts on why I think so many criticisms of Christianity – along with so many versions of Christianity – miss the mark. Consider this list: God (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) exists God is uniquely revealed to us in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, whom God raised from the dead By having a relationship with God though Jesus, who is … [Read more...]

Unity Statement

In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity. The Christian Apologetics Alliance (CAA) is united in our Statement of Faith. The CAA does not, as an organization, have positions on many of the doctrinal or theological debates that take place within the church. Our primary concern is to promote the gracious, rational defense of the central claims of Christianity and the critique of opposing systems of thought. The CAA joyfully welcomes Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and diverse Protestant believers, and we are committed to treating all these traditions with respect in our community.
