Apologetics

Many Christians find themselves unsure how to respond when confronted with common atheist arguments. In this episode, apologist Keaton Halley addresses five frequently encountered challenges: Who created God? Aren’t Christians atheists regarding other gods? Can God make a rock too heavy to lift? Would you believe differently if raised elsewhere? And is God just filling gaps in scientific knowledge? Keaton exposes the fundamental logical flaws in each argument while providing Christians with confident, reasoned responses. Drawing from his background in apologetics, he demonstrates how these challenges fail to undermine Christianity, and explains why evidence from science and philosophy actually points toward God’s existence rather than away from it.

He was obsessed with dinosaurs and totally convinced they had died out millions of years ago.

A proper understanding of biblical Hebrew and modern biology refutes an atheopathic attack on Scripture.

For a theory to be correct, its predictions must come true—its expectations must turn out to be accurate. (Note, though, that this, alone, isn't enough to prove a theory.) But when a theory repeatedly makes predictions that turn out to be wildly at odds with reality, it shows that the theory is completely wrong, and should be dropped immediately. Which of these two categories does evolutionary theory (in all its many forms—cosmological, geological, biological, etc.) fall in? What about biblical creation? The answers to these questions will come as a surprise to many! Join plant biologist, Dr Don Batten, for a look at just some of the ways in which evolutionary theory has predicted the exact opposite of what reality would eventually reveal—while biblical creationist predictions have been shown to be remarkably accurate!

How Christianity has benefited the world in abolishing slavery, building orphanages and hospitals, and fostered literacy and science. Abandoning Christianity led to murderous Nazism and Communism.

Are we created or evolved? The evidence of design in nature, too-rapid decay of our genome, dinosaurs, stars, planets, fits with the Bible’s account of Creation and the Flood, not evolution.

No self-sustaining RNA system has yet been engineered, let alone proven to rise naturalistically.

Matthew Parris, Yuval Noah Harari, and Ben Sixsmith are unbelievers but some of their comments about Christianity are worth considering.

A global earth was clearly taught by the leading Church scholars and believed by medieval rulers. Thus it was never an issue with Columbus.

How do we approach the world in knowledge and faith and discernment all at the same time? Our contention is that we can be faithful to the Bible and science without sacrificing either.

Studies show that teenagers who identify as Christian overwhelmingly doubt the truth of the Bible. What is the source of these doubts?

Many of Chesterton’s arguments against evolution are still used today by creationists.

Why the trend to move away from the solid truth of God’s Word to subjective moods and feelings?

The source of peace has to be in our basic connection with our Creator who is the origin of our personhood (Hebrews 11:3).

The Old Testament does not include immoral actions by God.

Facebook’s boss is working towards a world in which our get-togethers are less likely to be ‘real’.
