Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 17: God Exists?
Because Dr. Norman Geisler is unclear and confused in his use of the word “God”, he fails to properly conclude his case for the existence of God in his book When Skeptics Ask (hereafter: WSA). But this failure is easily fixed. I will reconstruct the final inference of his case for God in this post. … Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 17: God Exists?
Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 16: Just One Unlimited Being?
A standard objection to traditional arguments for God is that even if the arguments were successful, they fail to prove that there is just ONE god, leaving open the possibility that polytheism is true, and that monotheism is false. In Phase 5 of his case for God in When Skeptics Ask (hereafter: WSA), Dr. Norman … Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 16: Just One Unlimited Being?
Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 15: Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Perfectly Good?
Dr. Norman Geisler uses cosmological arguments to show that God is very powerful, and a teleological argument to show that God is very intelligent, and a moral argument to show that God is good (When Skeptics Ask [hereafter: WSA], p.26-27). But in Phase 4 of his case, he has not yet attempted to show that God exists. … Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 15: Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Perfectly Good?
Objections to Objectivism – Part 2: More Popular Objections
In this post I will examine three more populuar arguments against ethical objectivism from Russ Landau’s textbook The Fundamentals of Ethics (hereafter: FOE). I will present Landau’s criticisms of these arguments, and I will also present a few of my own criticisms. Objection 4: Moral Objectivity Supports Dogmatism 1. If there are objective moral standards, then … Objections to Objectivism – Part 2: More Popular Objections
Objections to Objectivism – Part 1: Three Popular Objections
I have many textbooks, handbooks, and readers on ethics, so I didn’t really need to buy another introduction to ethics this weekend. But I glanced through Russ Landau’s textbook The Fundamentals of Ethics (hereafter: FOE) and the third and final section of his book caught my attention: “Part Three: The Status of Morality”. In Part Three, … Objections to Objectivism – Part 1: Three Popular Objections
Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 14: More On Phase 4
===================== NOTE: To avoid sounding overly aggressive and insulting, I will not be repeating the evaluation that Dr. Geisler’s various arguments for the existence of God are a steaming pile of dog shit. However, please understand that the fact that I refrain from writing such comments does NOT mean that no such thoughts come to my … Geisler’s Five Ways – Part 14: More On Phase 4
Ain’t No Flies on Elvis
Elvis Presley was born on January 8th in 1935. If he was alive today, he would be 82 years old. Elvis died on August 16th in 1977, but many have claimed to have seen Elvis alive since that time.

One Buddhist Worldview?
I’m getting a lot of pushback on my view that there is only ONE Christian worldview. It seems fairly obvious to me that there is just one Christian worldview, so I suspect some bias or prejudice is at work here, although I cannot put my finger on what that bias or prejudice might be. Perhaps … One Buddhist Worldview?
The Jesus Argument
There have been many comments on my previous post God is a Person (Thank you all for your thoughts and contributions). I would like to narrow the focus of the discussion to deal with one argument at a time, so this post will only cover the first of my five arguments for the conclusion “God is … The Jesus Argument
God is a Person
INTRODUCTION Joe Hinman wants to debate the existence of God with me, but before we can have an intelligent debate on this issue, we need to come to some sort of mutual understanding about the meaning of the word “God”. In my view God is a person. In Hinman’s view God is NOT a person. … God is a Person
