God is “Imaginary” – Part 5

Eric — Mon, 20 May 2013 13:36:18 +0000

The fifth “proof” that God is imaginary is probably one of the oldest, and weakest, arguments. It is attacking the Bible claiming that it is scientifically false, contradictory and written by simple man. In essence, this argument balances on contradictions found in the Bible. Of course, the Bible is the infallible word of God, so [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Part 4

Posted in Apologetics Uncategorized

The fourth proof for God’s lack of existence is a fairly ill conceived. The premise of this argument is that the secular-minded scientists can make advancements in the scientific world while religious-minded scientists can’t, presumably because they are too busy…praying? Regardless of how weak the argument is, it would do justice to go through and [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Part 3

God Is “Imaginary” – Part 3 The third proof from this site is the classical argument, why is the Christian God real and not all the hundreds of thousands of other gods? Simply put, these other gods have no record of their existence, no claim that was made solely to prove their existence and [...]

God Is Imaginary – Part 2 Refutation

Posted in Apologetics

The next “proof” listed on the God Is Imaginary website discusses prayer again. Instead of simply saying it doesn’t work, the author of the proof says that statistics demonstrates that prayer doesn’t work. I will admit, at first this sounds like a fool-proof method to prove prayer doesn’t work (and therefore God is imaginary because [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Several Part Series

Eric — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:35:32 +0000

Posted in Apologetics

I recently ran across a website called “God Is Imaginary”. Naturally my interest is perked, so I decided to check it out. The website’s goal is to prove that God doesn’t exist, or is imaginary, using 50 “proofs”. The crux of their attack is finding discrepancies between the definition of God and the God they [...]

Pro-Choice – How Should a Christian Respond?

Posted in Abortion Apologetics

Pro-choice/abortion, like many things in the apologetics blog, is a hot-button issue, especially in light of the recent Kermit Gosnell hearings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell). The pro-choice movement has had explosive growth lately as feminist ideals begin permeating the culture more and more. Pro-choice is essentially the prerogative of the woman to keep or abort the baby. The [...]

Spiritual Milk – How it Relates to the Physical World

Eric — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:30:08 +0000

Posted in Apologetics

One of the coolest things about apologetics is when the Bible confirms what science hypothesizes about. It happens all the time in the Bible, especially if you are a diligent reader. Just recently I found another instance of this happening. In 1 Peter 2:2, it says “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that [...]

Happy Easter!

I know Easter was yesterday, but as I reflect on what Easter mean, I get this growing feeling that it isn’t talked about enough. There are so many little things about Easter that make it such a spectacular day and such an important piece of human history. This post is going to be shorter, but [...]

God isn’t Intolerant — You Are!

Posted in Apologetics

So often I hear the remark, “If God is so benelovent then why does he send people to hell?” or “If God is so benelovent, why does he have such intolerance in my (non)christian beliefs and send me to hell for that?” A very simple answer to this that is quite logical and fits well [...]

Your Invisible Friend – A Conversation

Eric — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:32:59 +0000

Posted in Apologetics

Many times I have been in situations or observed situations that when God is brought up, someone makes the comment “Oh, you mean your invisible friend?”, typically occurring through internet interactions (comments on a youtube video, facebook etc.). These comments can be infuriating and aggravating because they have no substance, are an attack on the [...]
