This podcast is dedicated to topics of archaeological, historical, scientific and logical discussions in theology. The primary point of conflict between proponents of intelligent design vs evolutionism, for example, is the question of origins.
Evolutionists who also study paleontology or sedimentary geology sometimes put forth arguments against the world-wide flood spoken of in Scripture being the source of most of the fossils we find.
Today we'll look a few varieties of "baloney" we should learn to detect: selective use of evidence, inappropriate appeals to authority, and ad hominem.
Last time I began presenting some testimonies by experts and researchers in various fields, all of which demonstrate that, no matter from what perspective you come, the Scriptures shine.
If any of you are searching for a successful marriage between philosophy and theology, let me recommend a book that every Christian today should study: Mere Christianity, by CS Lewis.
For some time now our discussion has been about research, the motivations, tools, and resources. Today I would like to put some ”flesh on the bone”, if you will, giving some personal examples.
Early 20th century philosopher, Charles Sanders Peirce, is the recognized father of pragmatism. Today we'll look at excerpts from his piece, "A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God."
Having previously introduced the importance and motives for research, we are now able to talk practically about some tools that have been valuable for research.
