Apologetics: Why bother?

[_Daniel Peterson]

Just in case Pal Joey's forgotten, here is the latest iteration of Jersey Girl's question to him:

Joey,

Give me the names of academic journals that accept the work of religious scholars for publication (and/or peer review), the criteria for submission and a list of religious scholars whose work has been accepted by said academic journals.

Pony it up.

She's clearly asking for examples of mainstream academic journals that publish denomination-specific apologetics.

I wait with bated breath for his answer.

Hey Jersey Girl, I told a friend of mine (who doesn't participate here) about this thread, and to answer the question, "Apologetics: Why bother?" he said, sort of off the cuff, "to reduce their own cog dis."

Best answer yet. That's the heart of it.

Bzzzzt!

Thanks for playing, SS.

Too close to home, Danny boy?

Are there apologetic institutes for "mainstream" scientific endeavors, say, like molecular biology?

Peterson last (ridiculous) post just made your defense moot of any merit. Not to say that his post demonstrated any merit either!!!

It does absolutely nothing of the sort. And you continue to ignore the evidence when we present it on your asking, and refuse to answer Jersey Girl's questions. Your credibility has shrunk. I don't know how it can when it began at zero, unless we go into the negative side of the number line. In this case about a -8......

That's not how it is on any stretch of the imagination.

No.

Just as there are no apologetic institutes for baseball, gardening, or cigar afficionados.

So what?

"Oh," said Tony. "Coop-coop-coop."

So... are you saying your apologetics are sport, a hobby, and disgustingly smelly?

Joey,

Not seeing your reply yet.
