Are Miracles Illogical? PLUS More Q&A

can miracles happen, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, existence of God, miracles evidence, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Q&A, religion, science and faith debate, theology

Can a logical person REALLY believe in miracles? Frank responds to a challenge from our skeptic friend, Mike, while tackling the big question: do miracles contradict science and the laws of logic? From science and history to philosophy and faith, we’ll explore what God’s nature reveals about the probability of divine intervention. Tune in as Frank answers questions like: Is it reasonable to believe in macroevolution? What is the acronym L.I.F.E.? Who else besides Christians question the theory of macroevolution? Why must miracles be rare to be meaningful? What are four ways Jesus demonstrates His divinity? How many miracles do we find in the Bible? In what three time periods do we see the most miracles in the Bible and why? Does God have limitations–or is He truly all-powerful? What’s…

A Christian at Islamic College: What I Saw Beneath the Surface

4TimOrr.substack.com, Antisemitism, Apocalypse, Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, Islam, Islamism, Jihad, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, October 7th, Palestine, Shia, Tim Orr

I never set out to become a witness to the West’s unraveling. I was just a minister seeking to show God’s love to people. In short, I simply loved Muslims—deeply and sincerely—and believed that the surest way to honor that calling was to study Islam from within its own intellectual world. That conviction led me to Islamic College in London. I was excited that I was going to learn under Muslim scholars. So, I wasn’t seeking conflict or controversy. Far from it. Instead, I was pursuing what I saw as a ministry of respect and understanding. Shifting Cultural Currents For several years, the professors supported my work. Classmates welcomed my questions, and I completed an M.A. in Islamic Studies believing I had formed genuine friendships. Yet even then, during my…

From Substack to the Arizona Supreme Court: Why This Case Matters to Every State Employee

Apologetics, Arizona State, Arizona Supreme Court, Christianity, Critical race theory, DEI, DrOwenAnderson.substack.com, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Mandatory Training, Queer Theory, Religious Discrimination

What began more than three years ago as a Substack post is now headed to the Arizona Supreme Court. That fact alone should give Arizonans pause, not because of me, but because of what Arizona State University is arguing the law allows it to do. The controversy began with a required ASU employee training called Inclusive Communities. On its face, that title sounds unobjectionable. Having worked at ASU for over two decades as a philosophy professor, I have seen many trainings and ideological fashions come and go. Universities, after all, are places where leftist ideas circulate freely and enforce a chilling effect on the few conservatives that slip through the DEI filter. The ASU email announcing the required training read: “The training accelerates continuing efforts to encourage meaningful change at…

Top 10 Ways Reality Supports the Christian Worldview + Proof of a Propaganda War

Apologetics, Christian Apologetics, Christian Worldview, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Evidence for Christianity, hasty generalization, logical fallacies, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology

How do you make the case for Christianity? It seems that the burden of proof always falls on Christians, but there are certain aspects of reality that need to be explained regardless of your worldview (even atheism!). The question remains, which worldview fits the story of reality better than the others? In this evergreen podcast episode, Frank breaks down 10 aspects of reality that support the Christian worldview by answering questions like: What is the cosmological argument? How is the universe fine-tuned at three different levels? Why is atheism, not Christianity, at odds with science? Where do the laws of logic come from? Why doesn’t science say anything? Where does objective morality come from? How did Jesus Christ become the most influential person in human history? Why is it…
