| Uniformity, Evolution and the Fallacy of Composition | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Addresses questions of scientific methodological application, naturalistic uniformity or regularity theory, and the reliability of inferences. (Original thread title: "Von Smith misunderstands the object of creation science and the limits of the scientific method.") | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Copying in the Synoptic Gospels | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sean McHugh believes the evidence for "Marcan priority" and plagiarism among the Evangelists in the formation of the Gospels to be overwhelming. I disagree. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ideological Motives and Scientific Realities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It's not uncommon for defenders of the scientific/academic establishment to assert that creationism is simply the expression of deep religious commitments on the part of its proponents. Can this really be demonstrated? (Original thread title: "Should We Examine Creationist Motives?") | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Heaven and the Problem of Evil | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| An attempted answer to an excellent question from Talk.origins site contributor Mark Isaak: If the Problem of Evil is resolved (at least in part) by the reality of Heaven, why didn't God just create Heaven from the outset? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Christianity, Biblical Exegesis and the Deity of Christ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A rebuttal to historian/philosopher John Wilkins, who believes Christian messianic interpretations of Jesus Christ as God in the flesh to be faulty and presumptive. (Original thread title: "OT: Christianity.") | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can God Create a Non-Existent Rock? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ...or as the question is usually phrased, "Can God create a rock so heavy he can't lift it?" (Original thread title: "Doublespeak, Christian style.") | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
