  • More than sharing the gospel

    So… let’s talk about apologetics. Christians seem to have very different responses to the idea of apologetics. Some think it is indispensable in the Christian’s life while others sincerely think it’s a bad thing (for various reasons, which we’ll consider further down). To be clear, I fall in the former category. What is Apologetics? It might be […]

  • Defending the Moral Argument

    The Argument For those who don’t know, the Moral Argument is a class of theistic argument that attempts to argue for God’s existence from the existence of a universal moral law. Here I’m concerned with defending a single moral argument. It’s formulation is similar William Lane Craig’s (however, unlike Dr. Craig, I’m leaving out any […]

  • A Read to Remember: An Exhortation to Christians

    I can’t help but get the overwhelming impression that many Christians aren’t taking the time to think/read/learn about Christian doctrine or apologetics. Now I’m not expecting everyone to go out and get PhDs in theology or something, but rather to take an interest in learning both what we as Christians believe and how to communicate […]

  • A Case for Chronons

    Chronons are the discrete quantum of time. In other words they are the smallest (or indivisible) length of time. Naturally, if we think chronons exist, then we must hold that time is discrete. Admittedly, if we say chronons exist we have the following weird result: Two balls, each with a 10cm diameter, are moving in […]

  • Enabling, not burdening

    When we read the Bible we can see a pattern in the way God deals with those he saves. In the Exodus, God saves the Israelites and then gives them the law, telling them how they are to act as God’s people (Ex 20ff). Similarly, when we are saved as Christians we are called to […]

  • Burden of Proof

    It’s heard on the lips of of some atheists that they, unlike us theists, don’t bear the burden of proof in the question of God’s existence because they merely lack the belief in God. The theists bear the burden of proof, however, because they make the claim that God exists. I agree with this reasoning […]

  • God’s Providence: Preliminaries

    In my first post I said I’d be posting a bit on God’s providence, but before we start it should be asked what we mean by the term “providence of God”? When we ask questions about God’s providence, we’re asking questions about how much and in what ways he controls all of creation. Does he […]

  • Is vegetarianism the best solution to animal cruelty?

    It is sometimes heard on the lips of vegetarians that vegetarianism is the solution to animal cruelty in the food industry. After all, it is argued, if we stop eating meat then the corporations who are cruel to animals in the process of getting meat to their consumers will either shut down (because of lack […]

  • Plans for a blog

    I’m still deciding whether or not to actually maintain a blog. But if i were to maintain this blog it would contain things about my main interests: Theology Philosophy Apologetics Computer Science Pure Mathematics And why not start big? I’m thinking of starting a series of posts dealing with God’s providence. Assuming I maintain this […]
