Re: Exciting Times We're In
It doesn't matter whether the nonreligious benefit the atheists. Atheism isn't a homogenous cause with a mission statement and a celestial rule giver. What matters is that religion, particularly Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, failed to secure its validity in the new enlightenment. Instead, it wa...

Re: Exciting Times We're In
Does 'Non-religious' equate to 'atheist?' . .. That is the question . .. . IOW, IS a 'non-religious' label somehow a gain for atheists? Will the mewly non-religious side with(those who self-describe as) 'atheists' on many, or most, sociopolitical issues? Maybe not. Masny young people who are non-re...

Re: Exciting Times We're In
There isn't any disagreement about whether naturalistic processes exploded the variety of life. None. That's not what I said, though--or what Craig said. Craig usually mentions only two of the possible naturalistic mechanisms of evolution and then says he doesn't think that they could have exploded...

Re: How to properly criticize religion
When criticizing religion, it's important to THINK BIG! Don't get lost in the messy details of "he did this", or "she said that". By all means, ignore the actions and sentiments of religion's founders and followers. Nothing to see here, folks. Look at all the "transformed" lives instead. Look at th...

Re: Exciting Times We're In
(Warning: hastily composed--lots of "I think" and "I don't think.") I don't think Craig is agnostic about all interpretations of the evidence: he specifically singles out the neo-Darwinian account as the one he doesn't believe. He often says that random mutation and natural selection are not effica...

Somebody quote me some stats if i'm wrong but . . . iirc xianity and Islam were both still GROWING against world population growth, albeit the rate of growh i8s de-and-not-acc-celerating . . . but even that's a far cry from actual shrinkage, much less being "on the verge of dying out" so... wtf? :o...

Re: Exciting Times We're In
Craig on evolution (From his blog): As I explained in my exposition of the Doctrine of Creation, when it comes to questions of the origin of life and biological complexity, biblical Christians enjoy the advantage over the naturalist of being truly open to follow the evidence where it leads. Since I ...

Re: Exciting Times We're In
...Which of William Lane Craig's evolution arguments is untenable? The one I was thinking about wasn't even an argument. He said that the only evidence for evolution that he saw was Darwin's finches and the peppered moth. His actual arguments about evolution suggest that there is reasonable doubt t...
