Arguments & Objections for God
Can We Talk About God?
Dr. Angus Menuge
$1.99Most apologists are used to engaging with skeptics who seek to deny the validity or soundness of their arguments, so they are generally well-equipped to counter these claims. Howevever, there is a certain kind of skeptic emerging who seeks to undermine the very concepts that an apologist seeks to employ, such as the idea of God. What should an apologist do when faced with these non-standard objections? How should an apologist respond when their interlocutor suggests that ideas of God are off-limits because they are essentially meaningless (i.e. we do not know what those concepts mean)? Menuge suggests that even though our concepts of God are limited, our understanding of his divine attributes are sufficient for knowledge and argumentation. He deals directly with the anthropomorphic challenge and transcendent concept challenge.

Eastwooding Richard Dawkins
Dr. William Lane Craig
$1.99Richard Dawkins is one of the most influential of the so-called New Atheists who criticize arguments for existence of God. Time and again he has refused to debate Dr. Craig on the existence of God. So, in this lecture, Dr. Craig decides to "Eastwood" Dawkins instead of debate him. "Eastwooding" is a form of role-play that involves setting up an empty chair and pretending that Dawkins is sitting in it. Dr. Craig then presents his arguments for the existence of God (i.e. Cosmological Argument, moral argument, fine-tuning argument) to the empty chair and proceeds to interact with objections that Dawkins might actually make if he were really there.

Can We Be Good Without God?
Dr. Francis J. Beckwith
$1.99Is there such a thing as an objective moral law? If so, what is the origin of the moral law and does that moral law have to be grounded in the existence of God? In fact, most atheists today, knowingly or not, intuitively deny relativism and endorse some type of moral law - even if that be some sort of "natural" moral law. Unfortunately, the modern atheist has no abiding, prescriptive foundation on which to base this intuitive endorsement.

Dealing with Moral Deniers
Dr. David Baggett
$1.99It used to be the case that atheists would grant that there are moral facts and that these facts are perfectly explainable through naturalistic means. However, there are more and more atheists who are willing to deny the existence of moral facts (i.e. they are moral anti-realists). So how does someone answer this more nuanced moral skepticism? Baggett suggests a constructive project useful for answering this peculiar type of person. He specifically addresses the Evolutionary Ethical solution to the issue of morality and explains helpful ways to counter this moral theory.
-
Beauty and the Existence of God
Mr. Jeremy Carey
$1.99Assuming that beauty actually exists, how can the experience of that beauty point someone to the existence of God? Carey provides two arguments gleaned from the experience of beauty to explain how we can learn about the existence of God. First, he develops the argument from normativity claiming that beauty substantiates claims towards an objective good. Second, he presents the argument from desire which essentially claims that beauty stirs within us a desire for something greater or beyond ourselves.

Why Won't Atheists Just 'Man up'? Atheism and the Burden of Proof
Mr. Michael Horner
$1.99In debates between theists and atheists it is common for the burden of proof to be put on the theist, making him responsible for establishing beyond a shadow of a doubt the truthfulness of his claims. However, is this the way things should be? Atheists are also making claims about reality. Shouldn't they be responsible for substantiating them as well? Horner argues that the burden of proof goes both ways. Both parties are responsible for providing evidence that affirms their epistemological claims. Horner also provides helpful responses to three claims that atheists will posit in an attempt to deny burden of proof.

Has Stephen Hawking Eliminated the Need for a Creator?
Dr. William Lane Craig
$1.99William Lane Craig’s diverse experience in debating atheists proves even more fruitful as he helps to shed light on the atheistic claims of Stephen Hawking. In this presentation, Craig responds to recent arguments by Hawkings and shows why it is still reasonable to believe that God exists.
-
Punching Holes in Recent Atheistic Arguments
Dr. Robert B. Stewart
$1.99This session analyzes and critiques some of the reasoning, rhetoric, and arguments of recent popular works by prominent atheists. It is argued that not only do some contemporary atheists operate with faulty presuppositions that distort their view of Christian belief but also their reasoning is flawed and their conclusions are false.
-
Natural Rights and the New Atheists
Dr. Francis J. Beckwith
$1.99Most people believe that human beings have certain rights by nature, that is, rights that do not depend on governments for their legitimacy. The New Atheists, such as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, seem to believe this as well. However, unlike the American Founders as well as those thinkers in the natural law tradition, the New Atheists deny that natural rights are grounded in a natural moral law whose source is God. They believe that naturalistic evolution can account for this natural moral law. This talk responds to the New Atheists and explains why the natural moral law is best accounted for by a Divine Law Giver.

The Naturalists Are Declaring the Glory of God: How Atheists Help Defend God's Existence
Dr. Paul Copan
$1.99Not only are there good reasons for taking God's existence seriously; many naturalists themselves come to the assistance of the theist by revealing how a God-less universe leaves too many gaps and unanswered questions. The emergence of the universe and its fine-tuning for life, consciousness, moral values/human dignity, beauty, reason, free will, and a number of other phenomena is difficult to account for given naturalism, but more easily explained given theism.

Is Belief in God Hard-Wired in the Brain?
Dr. Michael J. Murray
$1.99How should Christians think of the biological and neurological basis for belief in God? Are religious folks just determined to believe in God by virtue of their neurological makeup? Murray explains these sorts of questions and offers a helpful philosophical and apologetic response.
-
Answering the New Atheism
Dr. Chad Meister
$1.99The arguments of the "new atheists" are a pop cultural sensation in debates between atheism and theism. But is there substance behind the hype? How do the arguments of the "new atheists" comparee to atheistic arguments fifty years ago. Meister's talk gives you the inside-scoop, and provides a helpful context for understanding and refuting the prominent claims of the "new atheists."
-
The Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God
Dr. Stephen T. Davis
$1.99The cosmological argument for the existence of God has had a long and impressive history. Davis aptly summarizes the claims of the argument and provides main objections against the argument along with a helpful response.
-
The Dawkins Delusion
Dr. William Lane Craig
$1.99The "new atheists" treat Richard Dawkins as though he were some messiah rescuing us from faith and religion. William Lane Craig bursts the emotionality of the "new atheists" with informed reasons and evidences and shows exactly how Dawkins is deluded in his own worldview.
-
The Coherence of Theism
Dr. Charles Taliaferro
$1.99Critics of theism often charge that theism is incoherent as a worldview. Taliaferro, a long time defender of philosophical theism, astutely marshals reasons and evidence to show the worldview plausibility of theism.
