Wow. The judge ruled in Dehlin's favor, citing Jenn Kamp's blatant abuse of the legal system. The case is over, and all that is left is for the court to determine how much money Jenn (and her husband) owe John Dehlin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpkWhC3XZ3c This is surely what would have happene...

A more efficient approach -- I'm watching it in real time over at the Peterson Obsession Board -- is to simply dismiss all the accounts, sight unseen, accompanied by snorts of derision and, among the higher organisms there, airy but factually-ungrounded theoretical explanations of why the accounts ...

Years, and years of no one mentioning any type of miracle, and then *boom*, everyone started sharing their recollection. Can't wait for the next generation of apologists to relate future stories of how unicorns and rainbows magically surrounded Dr. Peterson when he was chastising critics and other ...

It's worth noting that Laplace was before our understanding of quantum randomness - that the universe is not a completely deterministic set of small billiard balls bumping into each other.

Hope you feel better soon, pirate!

A couple of folks over at the Peterson Obsession Board finally noticed the Meridian article -- Dumb-Dud and the former Kerry Shirts, at least -- and have begun to chant their disagreement with it and their disdain for it. As of yet, they've shown no awareness of the actual argument, let alone any s...

Is this something taught as a miracle in the CES curriculum? The link no longer works, but is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20200926001822/https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/manual/church-history-in-the-fulness-of-times/chapter-twenty-three?lang=eng “Chapter Twenty-Three: The Twelve t...

Apologists are always more secure with quantity than quality. They would rather have 90 pennies than a $100.00 bill, because, well more pennies! They make a nice neat looking pile of copper! Obviously they would be more impressive to the eye than a mere flat piece of single paper. Indeed. And no on...
