A Real Debate!

Hey all!

I posted this on the Micah 6.8 Blog but thought it might be profitable to post it here as well.

Enjoy!


Over the past several weeks as we have studied the book, The Reason for God, at the University of West Florida with young college students, I have been needfully reminded that faith is not totally evidential; it is a gift, and one that must come from above. For some, no matter how strong the argument for the christian faith, they simply choose to rebel against what they know within their conscience; that God exists.I was reminded of this once again after watching the debate between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox. It is most profitable - watch, enjoy, and be challenged! Finally, I was struck by what John Lennox had to say about humility - I mean, here is one of world's most gifted mathematicians and defenders of the faith offering some much needed insight about argumentation and gentle persuasion.

P.S. Contrast the apologetic of John Lennox above with that of Bill O'Reilly in his discussion with Richard Dawkins! Sadly, Dawkins shows a better understanding of the nature of truth than does the paragon of pragmatism!
