Introduction to the Kalam     The Kalam Cosmological Argument (KCA) is one of the most widely discussed arguments for the existence of God in contemporary philosophy and apologetics. It goes like this: Whatever begins to exist has a cause. The universe began to exist. Therefore, the universe has a cause. Though it sounds simple, the implications are profound. If the universe had a beginning—and beginnings require causes—then something (or Someone) beyond time, space, and matter must have brought it into being. The Kalam has sparked conversations among scientists, philosophers, theologians, and skeptics alike, making it a cornerstone of modern theistic argumentation. This post brings together over 80 carefully curated resources—from beginner-friendly explainers and historical texts to scholarly journal articles, courses, and public debates. Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned thinker…

Is Christ the Center of Your Social Media Message?

Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, HeavenNotHarvard.com, Internet Apologetics, Jennifer Defrates, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Online Evangelism, Social media
Social media can be one of the darkest places in the world. People comment with cruel disregard for whoever is on the other side of the screen. Yet, Christians have a responsibility to be the light of Christ in everything, including our social media message. Twenty years ago, many of us couldn’t imagine social media existing much less consuming large portions of our lives. But, it has become how most people get news and interact with the global community on a daily basis. I don’t know the exact statistics, but most people check social media first thing each morning. On June 30, 2010 people celebrated the first World Social Media Day, which is around the time I joined the ranks of smart phone users and began to dip my toe…

Why the Sheer Persistence of Antisemitism Seems Unnatural

Abrahamic Covenant, Antisemitism, Antizionism, Apologetics, Christianity, echabot.substack.com, EricChabot, Gospel, Islam, Israel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Middle East, Spiritual Warfare, Zionism
One thing is certain: antisemitism—indeed, outright Jew-hatred—is not merely an ancient problem. It remains disturbingly prevalent and resilient today. From Pharaoh and Haman in the biblical narrative, to the exiles under oppressive empires, through medieval Europe with its deicide charges (blaming Jews for the death of Jesus), blood libels, and well-poisoning myths, antisemitism has taken many forms. It appeared in pagan Rome, medieval Christendom, and in various Islamic contexts. We have seen economic scapegoating, ghettos, expulsions, and later racialized antisemitism under Nazism, followed by conspiracy theories and, in our own day, a viscous anti-Zionism and what Matt Walsh has called “Jew Derangement Syndrome.” The more I observe debates about Israel online—I see some of the most vile and hateful rhetoric imaginable—along with antisemitic attacks across the world. The sheer excess…

What’s next for Iran and is this current war a sign of the end times? For nearly five decades, millions of Iranians have lived under the harsh realities of militant Sharia law, while many in the West still misunderstand or even enable the system behind it. In this follow-up episode, historian Bill Federer returns to unpack how the 1979 Iranian revolution transformed Persia and why the consequences still ripple across the Middle East and beyond. Tune in as Frank and Bill tackle questions like: What laws were immediately imposed when the Ayatollah seized power in 1979? What president gave the Ayatollah the green light to take over? What lies did this Ayatollah tell America in order to take power? Who did he execute immediately when he took power? What’s the…

The Current Argument from Information for the Existence of God

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Arguments for God, Ben Kissling, Christianity, ConvincingProof.org, design argument, Gospel, information, Intelligent Design, Philosophical Theology, Philosophy of Religion
Introduction The argument from information in contemporary terms is a novel teleological argument[1]  for the existence of God with its deepest roots in the mid-20th century. Most would describe its origins differently, including many proponents of this argument. They would begin their history of it with William Paley’s “watch in the heath” argument from 1802. Both arguments point to an object with unknown origin and reason from features of the object to the conclusion that it was designed by some intelligence rather than “naturally” occurring. Some modern design arguments are similar to Paley’s, such as Michael Behe’s irreducible complexity or Douglas Axe’s functional coherence. However, these types of arguments do not appeal to the concept of information as William Dembski’s specified complexity argument does. Ideas like irreducible complexity and Paley’s watch…
