The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 4: Finite Changing Things Exist?
In his book When Skeptics Ask (1990), Norman Geisler presents a Thomist Cosmological Argument for the existence of God (although he FAILED to conclude the argument with the claim that “God exists”!). I am now going to start evaluating the first premise of this argument: 1. Finite, changing things exist. (When Skeptics Ask, p. 18; hereafter: WSA.) … The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 4: Finite Changing Things Exist?
The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 3: Norman vs. Bradley
I’m having fun with critical examination of Norman Geisler’s Thomist cosmological argument in When Skeptics Ask. There is also a more detailed and in-depth presentation of this argument in Chapter 9 of Geisler’s much older book The Philosophy of Religion (1974). I previously thought that the first premise of his Thomist cosmological argument was obviously … The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 3: Norman vs. Bradley

In July of 2018, I finished examining his case for God, which consists of 20 arguments for God. Here are … Peter Kreeft’s Case for God
Geisler’s Case for the Existence of God
GEISLER’S CASE FOR GOD In October of 2016, I began to analyze and evaluate Norman Geisler’s case for God in his book When Skeptics Ask, and to present my criticism of his case in posts here at The Secular Outpost. Over a period of several months, I wrote 18 posts focused on various phases and arguments … Geisler’s Case for the Existence of God
If Jesus Rose from the Dead, then God does NOT Exist
The following are two central beliefs of Christianity: (1) Jesus is the divine Son of God. (2) God raised Jesus from the dead to show that (1) is true. If (1) is FALSE, then that implies that (2) is FALSE as well. If Jesus was NOT the divine Son of God, then God would NOT … If Jesus Rose from the Dead, then God does NOT Exist
