31 Nobel Prize Quotes That Challenge the ‘Faith vs. Science’ Myth – Smart Faith

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Evidence for God, Faith vs. Reason, Gospel, Medicine, Miguel Rodriguez, science, Science vs. Religion, scientism, SmartFaith.me, theology
You have seen it on social media or even books. Someone gambling his head that faith impedes the progression of science. Faith, they say, is believing something without evidence or in spite of, and science relies on evidence to reach at truth. This gives the false impression that the majority of scientist are atheist, or at least non theist. It’s even considered conventional wisdom for many (maybe you thought it too). But in reality… this is just plain doodoo. Faith vs. Science? First, because it starts with a false definition of faith like the one mentioned above. Pistis, the Greek word for faith, means trust and is the word used in the Bible. Trust cannot be conceived without reasonable justification. The biblical faith doesn’t shy away from doubt. Doubt and faith…

How to Spot a Kant in Sheep’s Clothing

Apologetics, Christianity, Divine law, ethics, evil, Good, Gospel, https://drowenanderson.substack.com/, Immanuel Kant, Kantianism, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Moral Argument for God Categories:, Objectivism, Owen Anderson, relativism, Uncategorized
One of the ways you will find philosophy professors denying Christ is through an appeal to Kantian ethics. Kant’s ethical theory uses many positive-sounding words that appeal to our moral intuitions. Yet, when we examine the content, we find that Kant was opposed to Christ as revealed in Scripture. Instead, he sought to elevate the individual’s moral intuitions as the highest authority, and even above the Bible. I know of professors who lure students in by claiming to be Christians, but then play a shell game: they subtly replace Christianity with Kantianism, and then argue that the Bible and Christianity are false because they contradict their moral intuitions. Kant’s Ethics Permit me to give you a brief overview of Kantianism. Immanuel Kant sought to ground ethics not in religion or…

What Children Show Us About Human Nature

Al Serrato, Apologetics, Children, Christianity, Gospel, human nature, original sin, salvation, theological anthropology, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Total Depravity
Most non-believers will tell you that man is basically “good.” When he acts against that basic goodness, it’s the result of disease, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, or some form of mental illness. These, in turn, stem from a failure of society to reach out and provide the right kind of assistance and services. If only we as a society could do more, spend more, provide more, we could eventually create the kind of utopia that “good” people populate. Christianity, by contrast, teaches a much different worldview. Long ago, the first man and woman exercised their free will to rebel against God, and in so doing created a rift between man and God that continues to this day. Though man has a certain inherent goodness, because he bears the image…

Secular Professor Tactics 101

academia, Apologetics, Christian Living, Christianity, college life, Deconstruction, DrOwenAnderson.substack.com, Gospel, indoctrination, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Owen Anderson, Politics, Progressivism, Worldview, youth exodus
As a parent or student it will help you to know that in many cases your secular professors have a strategy. They have a goal. A strategy is the big-picture plan to win or achieve that goal. Tactics are the step-by-step methods used to carry it out. I’ve told you before that you can see their goal by how they live their own lives. But now let’s look at their classroom tactics. If you’re a parent or a prospective student, you need to understand the tactics of the secular professor. For many of them, “winning” means leading students to adopt a radical leftist ideology—either by outright agreement or by slow, subtle influence. Agreement isn’t always demanded immediately. Sometimes, all they want is your gradual surrender of confidence in anything else. …

A Wolf in Women’s Clothing: The One Question Trans-Activists Can’t Answer

Apologetics, bathrooms, Christianity, cross-dressing, cultural apologetics, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, LGBTQ, Transgender, Wolf in sheep's clothing
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15 (ESV) The bathroom debate has resurrected some very old questions about women’s rights.[1] Once upon a time, women fought for separate bathrooms from men. The reasons were obvious. Privacy, modesty, prudence, and the unfortunate fact that men have a worse record for physical and sexual violence. It’s not in women’s best interests to get stuck in a bathroom with a strange man, if she can help it. But in recent years, the common-sense solution of “separate bathrooms” has come under fire. The Trump administration has introduced a new level of pushback, but the bathroom debate is still far from settled. I have to wonder, however, if we could let the air out…

Alex O’Connor Misses The Mark On His Distinction Between Types Of Worship

Alex O’Connor, Apologetics, ChristianConcern.com, Christianity, David Wood, debate, Deity of Christ, Gospel, Latreuo, New Testament, Proskuneo, Sean Redfearn, Theology and Christian Apologetics, worship
A key argument in Alex O’Connor’s debate with David Wood is the distinction Alex draws (in his first rebuttal) between “proskuneo” (Gk: προσκυνέω) worship and “latreuo” (Gk: λατρεύω) worship. Both proskuneo worship and latreuo worship are biblical terms used to describe worship or service to God, but they carry different shades of meaning. Proskuneo means to physically bow down, or prostrate oneself in order to show reverence. Latreuo means to serve or honour in a religious or sacrificial sense. In Romans 12:1 for example, Paul tells us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice as latreuo to God). The crux of Alex’s argument is that, on these two senses of worship, Jesus never receives latreuo worship in the way that only God does, and there is nothing special about…

What’s the Difference Between True & Almost True? with Dr. Erwin Lutzer

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Dr. Frank Turek, Gospel, morality, papacy, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Roman Catholicism, Social justice, theology
Why does the papacy exist in Roman Catholicism? What did the recent death of Pope Francis reveal about his legacy? And why do so many modern liberals misunderstand the true role of the Pope—treating him more like a soft-spoken “social worker with a Mr. Rogers personality” than a defender of sound doctrine? This week, Frank sits down with the one and only Dr. Erwin Lutzer to talk about the sobering state of the world, the growing animosity towards objective truth, and why Christians should avoid the temptation to compromise as the world drifts further into confusion, political unrest, and chaos (mixed in with a dad joke or two!). During their conversation, Frank and Erwin will answer questions like: What’s the first duty of a pope and what should the cardinals focus on…

The Road to the Perfect God

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Arguments for God, Being, Christianity, Diego Fallas, existence, God's nature, Gospel, metaphysics, Perfection, Philosophical Theology, Theology Proper
Human beings have wondered about God for millennia. The Bible explains this by saying that God “set eternity in the human heart.”[1] How can, limited, finite human beings wonder about the supreme being? Some say that we are not alone in this quest and that God has revealed himself to us. That he has bridged the infinite chasm between creature and creator so that finite creatures can know him. Other say that God, if he exists at all, is too hidden and has not done a good job in making his existence evident. My contention here is that, not only is God not hidden, but there is evidence for his existence that we cannot dismiss because it is right “in front” of us, every moment, every second, every day and…

A Disturbing Trend

1. Does Truth Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, critical theory, Domestic Terrorism, Gospel, Left Wing, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, relativism, Right Wing, Social Constructivism, truth, violence
A disturbing trend is rising. People are calling for Trump’s assass1nation.[1] Political discourse has shifted from divisive and shrill, to radical and violent. Meanwhile, there have been four confirmed attempts on the president’s life, one of them missed by mere inches. This is getting out of hand. Ironically, the same people calling for violence against the elected president think they’re fighting for democracy. Apparently, people can avoid the courts, evade elections, derail due process, and bypass all the checks and balances of this constitutional democratic republic, and somehow they’re still “pro-democracy.” How does that work? “The same people calling for violence against the elected president think they’re fighting for democracy” Firebombing Car Dealers . . . Bad. Now I don’t think Donald Trump is the best or the worst. He’s…

The Myth of the Dark Ages

Apologetics, Christianity, Dark Ages, Enlightenment, Gospel, historical apologetics, IsChristianityTrue.Wordpress.com, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Medieval, Middle Ages, New Atheism, Steve Lee, Theology and Christian Apologetics
We have all heard about the “Dark Ages” between 500 AD and 1500 AD.  Some common descriptions include: “There was a time when religion ruled the world. It is known as the Dark Ages.”[1] – Ruth Hurmence Green (1915-1981, a notable atheist with the publication of her book The Born Again Skeptic’s Guide to the Bible). Joseph Lewis in An Atheist Manifesto claims that “If you do not want to stop the wheels of progress; if you do not want to go back to the Dark Ages; if you do not want to live again under tyranny, then you must guard your liberty, and you must not let the church get control of your government. If you do, you will lose the greatest legacy ever bequeathed to the human race—intellectual freedom.” Jeffrey…
