The human body is a marvelous and complex system. Of special interest is the cellular mechanism of the body. Every 7-10 years, the cells of the body replace themselves, to the point that the body is essentially new every decade.[i] While the DNA remains the same over the course of a person’s life, the cells change at varying rates. A person’s stomach lining replaces itself every few days. The skin’s epidermis replaces itself every 2 to 4 weeks. The body’s hair changes every 6 years for women and 3 years for men. Liver cells rejuvenate every 150 to 500 days. Bones take around 10 years to change. Philosophically speaking, the materialist has a problem if he decides to claim that the body is all of human existence. If humans are…

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, CS Lewis, demons, Dr. Frank Turek, Govermment, Islam, military, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Q&A, religion, The Screwtape Letters, theology

Why is propaganda and empty rhetoric so appealing to some people? In this midweek episode, Frank explains how the first of ‘The Screwtape Letters‘ by C.S. Lewis perfectly illustrates the way demons manipulate human beings, now and throughout history. He’ll also explore the recent power struggles between the Trump Administration and the lower district court judge who blocked Trump’s transgender military ban. Frank will answer questions like: Why is using “jargon” instead of evidence-based arguments not good thinking? What specific tactics does C.S. Lewis say demons use to tempt humans and where do we see evidence of this happening in our culture today? Do all people have the right or privilege to serve in the military? Was Trump’s decision to say transgender people are not qualified to serve in the military…

Is Guidance Control COMPATIBLE with Divine Determinism?

Apologetics, Christianity, compatibilism, determinism, Gospel, guidance control, john martin fischer, Libertarian Freedom, reasons responsiveness, regulative control, Theology and Christian Apologetics

STRATTON: Dear ChatGPT, Guidance control is a concept from philosophy, particularly in discussions of free will and moral responsibility. It refers to the capacity of an agent to guide their behavior in a way that reflects their reasons, values, and intentions. In the context of free will, guidance control is often contrasted with what is referred to as regulative control. Allow me to explain: Guidance control asserts the ability to guide one’s actions in accordance with one’s rational deliberation and decision-making process. It does not necessarily require alternative possibilities (understood as the ability to do otherwise). Regulative control, on the other hand, includes both the ability to guide actions and the ability to choose among alternative options (i.e., free will in the sense of having genuine alternatives and the ability…
