Geisler & Turek Rebuttal, Part 7: Chapter 8
Chapter 8. Miracles: Signs of God or Gullibility? As I read them, Geisler and Turek (G&T) seek to establish four points: (1) If God exists, then miracles are possible; (2) Hume’s argument against the credibility of miracle claims is a failure; (3) miracles can be used to confirm a message from God (i.e., as acts … Geisler & Turek Rebuttal, Part 7: Chapter 8
Apologetics Infographic #1: Atheism and Nothingness
If you spend enough time on Twitter following hashtags like #atheism, #theism, #apologetics, and the like, you’ll eventually see what I will call, for lack of a better term, ‘infographics’. They are usually light on images but heavy on words, in order to get around Twitter’s 140 character maximum length for tweets. Think of them as … Apologetics Infographic #1: Atheism and Nothingness
G&T Rebuttal, Part 6: Chapter 7
Chapter 7. Mother Theresa vs. Hitler In this chapter, G&T present a version of the moral argument for God’s existence which I call the “Moral Laws Require a Moral Lawgiver Argument,” which they formulate as follows.

It also defends ID against various … G&T Rebuttal, Part 5: Chapter 6

G&T Rebuttal, Part 4: Chapter 5
Chapter 5. The First Life: Natural Law or Divine Awe? In this chapter, G&T defend a design argument focused on the first life. They also present a variety of objections to scientism and materialism. I will provide a very brief summary of their points, before providing my critique. (i) Argument to Design of the First … G&T Rebuttal, Part 4: Chapter 5
G&T Rebuttal, Part 3: Chapter 4
Chapter 4. Divine Design G&T provide a brief introduction to what they call ‘the’ Teleological Argument, which they formulate as follows. 1. Every design had a designer. 2. The universe has a highly complex design. 3. Therefore, the universe had a Designer. (95) Like the cosmological argument, this argument is deductively valid. Again, my plan … G&T Rebuttal, Part 3: Chapter 4
