Cave To The Cross Apologetics

We continue our interview with J. Warner Wallace. For the first part of the interview see episode 51 (www.cavetothecross.com/51) J. Warner Wallace (https://coldcasechristianity.com/) was a cold-case homicide detective for the LAPD. He became a Christ-follower at the age of thirty-five after investigating the claims of the New Testament gospels using his skill set as a detective. In this episode, we take a deeper look into Detective Wallace’s process of establishing the Gospels as credible eye witness testimony. He then responds to how he deals with evaluating the possibility of supernatural causes in everyday life. We, of course, have to talk about how he responds to presuppositionalists and also the great case for morality Christians have. We finish up with a charge and challenge from Detective Wallace on always being ready to give a defense for the hope we have. The episode link is www.cavetothecross.com/ep52 Links To J.

Today we welcome J. Warner Wallace to the show! J. Warner Wallace (https://coldcasechristianity.com/) was a cold-case homicide detective for the LAPD. He became a Christ-follower at the age of thirty-five after investigating the claims of the New Testament gospels using his skill set as a detective. In this first part of the interview, we discuss what Detective Wallace’s background is and what led him to start questioning the claims of Christianity. He talks about using his approach for looking at the veracity and claims of the biblical Gospels and how the Gospels differ from the Book Of Mormon. Finally, we discuss some responses from critics of the Gospels. The episode link is www.cavetothecross.com/ep51 Links To J. Warner Wallace Cold Case Christianity Facebook Twitter J.

The final chapter of Dr. Mitch Stoke’s book. We want to thank Dr. Stokes for his work and for coming on our show (Ep.33 & 34). We also want to thank you all for watching/listening and sharing the links to such an interesting subject. Stay tuned for more! We look at further implications of nihilism. If all life is pain, why not just end it now? What is an atheist to do with living nihilisticly? And of course, we cover the Christian theist response and the better explanation to the concept of moral truth.

We look at the consistent outcome of naturalism when it comes to morality – that of nihilism. Because definitions are important, we cover the definition of nihilism as there seems to be some misunderstanding of what it is and what it isn’t. We then look at why nihilism should result from belief in naturalism and the implications nihilism brings forth.

We continue our interview with Dr. Robert P. Murphy, a Christian as well as an economist in the branch of Austrian Economics. In this second part of the interview, Dr. Murphy talks about where economic truth derives from. If the Fall never occurred would economic principles still stand? Then we talk about some of the weird stances people can have when applying economic principles to other parts of their lives. Dr. Murphy and Patrick have a discussion on the similarities Austrian Economics has with Presuppositional Apologetics. Dr. Murphy gives some advice to Christians from an economic standpoint & encourages other Christians to learn economics as part of God’s ordered universe. Plus, Patrick pretty much swoons over Dr. Murphy.

We are absolutely proud to present to you this interview done with Dr. Robert P. Murphy! One of the desires of our show is to promote the truth that God reigns over every aspect of creation. One of those areas is even economics. Sadly, many Christians do not understand the importance of economics and are intimidated by the subject – much like philosophy. Dr. Murphy is a Christian as well as an economist well known in the branch of Austrian Economics. In this first part of the interview, Dr. Murphy talks about what economics is and why Christians should care. We also discuss the fact that the Christian worldview accounts for economic theories. We also talk about the application of Austrian Economic theory, a theory based on presuppositional claims, when it comes to showing that slavery is not only immoral but a terrible economic decision.

We look at Dr. Stokes’ take on the divine command theory to ground morality in an objective state and answer the objections to the infamous Euthyphro dilemma. The biggest argument is that the commands God gives appear to be arbitrary. In some ways that appear to be the case, however, God being God and not man requires us to look at the issue more closely.

We look at Dr. Stokes’ take on the divine command theory to ground morality in an objective state. This, of course, brings up the infamous Euthyphro dilemma. The argument is one that many bring up when objecting to the claim that God can coherently be the source of morality. In this episode, we cover the introduction to the dilemma and next episode we’ll cover the refutations of the objections.

  Audio interview – https://pca.st/4yltrku4 YouTube version – https://youtu.be/e5hxjeTaGAk We’re going to point you over to the Tulips & Honey podcast page today. Friends of the show, Lauren & Becca interviewed Patrick & Tony. We talk about our salvation story, how we met, what our show is about, and how we picked the name “Cave To The Cross Apologetics”. We also cover topics like why Christians should be readers, Christians need to learn from their history, Christian living, and what books we recommend and don’t. We also engage in some tomfoolery that is completely to blame on Lauren & Becca. Thanks again to them at Tulips & Honey podcast. Below is the link to the show, the good books we talked about in the show (sorry no links to Joyce Meyers or Joel Osteen ones), and whatever else might have been talked about we feel like throwing in.

We finish up this chapter with the discussion of Dr. Stokes’ critique of values when it comes to morality. If naturalism is true, there seems to be a lot of issues that result in understanding what values are and therefore what moral imperatives are. This is a lead up to his main argument of why the Christian God offers a better alternative to naturalism in making sense of moral reality.

We once again slow down to cover an important part of Dr. Mitch Stokes’ argument. We want to be clear in our presentation of his arguments. While a non-careful reader could see Stokes going down the route of making a post-modernist argument this chapter and the next really set up his entire point of the need to ground morality in God and not in the case of naturalism.

In Chapter 15 we go over Dr. Stoke’s critique of Sam Harris’ well-being theory for objective morality. It does appear that what Harris claims is objective is just another subjective standard.

In this second part of chapter 14, we continue to look at Sam Harris’ attempt to use well-being as an objective grounds for morality. We look at well-being from a standpoint of whether it’s a moral good or more of a prudential good (a good thing to do rather than being good in and of itself).

We take this chapter a little slower since there are some big concepts to understand. We look at Sam Harris’ attempt to define morality as being concerned with a creature’s well-being. This measurable value gives morality a scientific component and allows it to be measured and objective. Has Harris done what David Hume failed to do and given atheists a very big weapon in combating the claims of Christians? That’s what we cover in this and the next two episodes.

Ethics is the principles by which people act morally. If the world is guided by evolution, where does morality come from? How do we make sense of what seems to be a strong desire to understand right and wrong? Does science hold the key to living our best atheist life now?

In this chapter, Mitch Stokes wants to clear up some misconceptions that both sides of moral realism seem to perpetuate. Atheists need to provide a reason why anyone should be good. Some Christians insinuate that atheists should just go around being completely amoral. Both sides sometimes take part is talking past each other because morality is such an important and strongly felt topic. We also get into what our friend, David Hume, attempted to form as his basis for a moral foundation. We then take that apart.

We come to the 3rd and final section of our book. We open to the concept of morality and how the atheistic worldview deals with it. With atheism, naturalism is the concept through which one looks at the world and all facts with. Naturalism says nature is all there is – property and causes all have natural explanations. So you can see where naturalism might have a little problem with the concept of objective moral standards. How can one test that murder, rape, and lying are evil when those aren’t physical things? And what is the Christian explanation? Where should we stand? Check out today’s episode for the answers!

We continue with our interview with Dr. Mitch Stokes who authored the book we are currently going through on the show. This part deals with the moral objections section. There are spoilers to what we will be covering if you care about that with a theology book. First, we discuss answers to the Euthyphro Dilemma, a known “issue” in the so-called problem of evil. We have a great discussion on living consistently within one’s worldview and that all moral value, if it exists, comes from God. Finally, Dr. Stokes summaries his book. As a bonus, we discuss why Dr. Stokes believes liberal arts students should learn calculus and science. We thank Dr. Stokes for coming on the show!

But does the belief in God root itself scientifically and does it have an impact? We discuss!

We then go in and discuss the failure of natural physicists to try and explain metaphysics using only a physics-based approach. We get partial and also discuss in what way people do come to their belief in God. Then we cap it off by asking the question, “Why does God allow us to fail in science?”.

Is this episode we attempt to explain…string theory! We also look at the strained relationship between general relativity and quantum mechanics and the trouble both are in. Oh, and that idea that scientists have this brilliant idea of making science look smart and logical – ya, seems like the best idea they have right now to find a working theory is to look for theories with beauty and elegance to them. A sober skeptic should have a correct understanding of how scientists work and look at their so call conclusions about God with skepticism if they can’t tell us what the physical universe looks like.

We take a look at the two most current theories of science, general relativity and quantum mechanics. Those have to be the ones that are revealing truth to us! Those are the cutting edge of discovery to how the universe functions and what it is made up of. And those scientists tell us there is no God and no need for God. Well except for the pesky fact that the scientists who came up with those theories don’t believe those theories are true…oh and both theories are diametrically opposed to each other. What was it they said about God again?

Alright, look! Science may be hard and it may not be as sterile as we think it is, but look at what science has given us! You can’t argue with success, right? Well, sure, we have technology and answers that advance theories. But – haven’t we always had that even when the theories turned out to be wrong? Can a theory work without actually being true?

We finish up the chapter about the difficulty of true science. We look at just how hard scientists hold onto theories and that they aren’t just isolated from background beliefs. Christians don’t have to be skeptical of science but we must realize that worldviews play an undeclared, yet important, part of science.

We continue to look at what actually doing science is and how scientists actually do science. In this episode, we see that effects beliefs of scientists have when they do science. Not only do beliefs play a factor but we see that scientists actually rely on trusting authority and are trained to be indoctrinated. Science is a little weirder than what we think it is.

  We start a very interesting chapter that looks at what goes into developing a conclusion using the scientific process. Developing theory and hypothesis sounds easy but what goes into it is quite complicated. Again, we see that real science is not a squeaky clean process but a difficult one.

Today’s episode is of Chapter 5 of “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6). This chapter is kind of two parts. The first part is about the logical positivists coming in the early 20th century and using Hume to try and dismantle philosophy and theology. We look at their work and their beliefs. The second part is looking at science, not through some rose-colored glasses in a sterile environment, but looking at the dirty, nitty-gritty version that science really is.

Today’s episode is of Chapter 4 of “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6). We look at the road Hume took with his skepticism as it applies to science. Hume end shows that there is no non-circular argument for the reliability of science and fails to answer the question of “why does something happen?” A Humean approach to science, which modern atheists trace back their skepticism back to, fails to allow a consistent view of science they claim to uphold upon everything else as a source of knowledge. In the end, science is distorted to religious worship & the new skeptic has become the new priest.

Today’s episode is of Chapter 3 of “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6). Dr. Stokes looks at two prominent scientists that have attempted to create theories that try to explain away both God and philosophy. Stokes looks at Stephen Hawkings and Laurence Krauss’ theories of the universe. This chapter has some slight critiques on the theories but sets up the next portion of the book.

We continue with Chapter 2 of “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6). Dr. Stokes, invoking David Hume, calls atheists to be better skeptics of what is presented as known truths of the world. Hume is the philosopher that many atheists/new atheists trace back to questioning the existence of God. However, Hume doesn’t appear to take his skepticism far enough and atheists of today don’t see the implications of what Hume has taken on. Atheists should be skeptical of objective moral laws, their own senses, induction, and reason.

We continue our new book “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6). Dr. Stokes sets the stage for how to be a good skeptical atheist by invoking David Hume.

We begin our new book “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6). In this book, Dr. Mitch Stokes challenges everyone to be a sober skeptic. He points out the views that atheists claim to hold are either inconsistent or don’t go far enough. He challenges atheists to think more about what they are claiming and if they want to be skeptical – keep going. It is not only a book for atheists but a book for Christians as they look at the other side’s worldview and see where the inconsistencies lie – especially when it’s wrapped up in the shield of “SCIENCE” and “REASON”. We are challenged to be sober skeptics as well and to think through what it really means to hold the claims we do.

Today we announce what our second book is. To get a copy and help support the show check out the link here – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6 We will be going over “How to Be an Atheist: Why Many Skeptics Aren’t Skeptical Enough” by Dr. Mitch Stokes. From Amazon’s description: Atheists talk a lot about the importance of skepticism. But the truth is, they’re not nearly skeptical enough. While atheists champion the importance of a critical stance toward religion, they often fail to take that same stance toward their own beliefs. This double standard results in grandiose claims about the certainty of their unbelief―which is logically inconsistent at best and intellectually dishonest at worst. Turning atheists’ skepticism around on their own naturalist worldview, philosopher Mitch Stokes critically examines two things that such skeptics hold dear―science and morality―and reveals deep inconsistencies among their most cherished beliefs, inconsistencies that threaten to undo atheism itself.

Today we finish the last chapter of Dr. Jason Lisle’s book, Keeping Faith in the Age of Reason (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2JBM4tc). The conclusion covers a brief overview of the superiority of the Christian worldview over the naturalistic one. The Christian worldview is the only consistent one that allows for the justification of science, logic, and morality. Even the unbeliever must assume the Christian worldview too. During the middle of this week we’ll also announce our next book starting next week!

This week we take a quick break before we finish up Dr. Lisle’s book. We are excited to welcome author and pastor Scott Christensen to the show as our first interview. Scott has written a great book on the subject of human free will called “What About Free Will? Reconciling Our Choices With God’s Sovereignty” Click the link to get the book and help support Cave To The Cross a little. Scott presents both sides of the argument in a fair and accurate way – that of libertarian free will and compatibilism. He also establishes a biblical outlook on the issue and what the outcomes of those beliefs have on certain Christian issues. Scott had originally written an article on Tim Challie’s blog covering his top ten books on the subject. That can be found here – https://www.challies.com/sponsored/the-top-10-books-on-reconciling-divine-sovereignty-and-free-will/ In the interview with Patrick and Tony, he discusses how his book is laid out and briefly covers the two main arguments. If he’s on our show he, of course, has to talk about how someone’s worldview is impacted in what side of the issue they fall on. He also talks about what the subject means when it comes to things like our understanding of salvation, God, and apologetics is. We are very excited to welcome Scott to the show and hope you are blessed and will share this interview with others as we talk about such an important topic that many churches haven’t discussed enough.

For this episode, Patrick and Tony go over just one question as it’s a practical way of doing apologetics as a whole. Many people have not heard of presuppositional apologetics when it comes to defending or presenting the Christian faith. However, it is quickly becoming a more popular and helpful approach as we present the world with the truth of the Gospel. We feel like it was important to take the time to go into more detail about this approach and why we find it so compelling.
