I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist
#16
RE: I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist
This is a summary of Geisler's "system"; a guy with a doctorate in this crap:

Quote:1. Truth about reality is knowable (see TRUTH, NATURE OF; AGNOSTICISM).
2. Opposites cannot both be true (see FIRST PRINCIPLES; LOGIC).
3. The theistic (see THEISM) God exists (see GOD, EVIDENCE FOR).
4. Miracles are possible (see MIRACLE).
5. Miracles performed in connection with a truth claim are acts of God to confirm the truth of God through a messenger of God (see MIRACLES AS CONFIRMATION OF TRUTH; MIRACLES, APOLOGETIC VALUE OF).
6. The New Testament documents are reliable (see NEW TESTAMENT, DOCUMENTS, MANUSCRIPTS; NEW TESTAMENT, HISTORICITY OF; NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPTS).
7. As witnessed in the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be God (see CHRIST, DEITY OF).
8. Jesus’ claim to divinity was proven by an unique convergence of miracles (see MIRACLES IN THE BIBLE).
9. Therefore, Jesus was God in human flesh.
10. Whatever Jesus (who is God) affirmed as true, is true (see GOD, NATURE OF).
11. Jesus affirmed that the Bible is the Word of God (see BIBLE, EVIDENCE FOR; BIBLE, JESUS’ VIEW OF).
12. Therefore, it is true that the Bible is the Word of God and whatever is opposed to any biblical truth is false (see WORLD RELIGIONS AND CHRISTIANITY; PLURALISM, RELIGIOUS).

The book sounds completely awful. Reading the above bilge was enough to send me off.

"GOD - SEE EVIDENCE FOR" - lol!

So apparently, they DO have evidence for old Sky Daddy, but are keeping it hidden?
