I’m grateful to my friend AJS for pointing me to this mini-debate from the BBC Today programme between William Lane Craig and Lewis Wolpert. 

It is a classic example of two people who will not accept each other’s presuppositions. 

The scary thought is that a large number of people would fail to recognise that the second person had any presuppositions.  It is ironic in a postmodern world that so many people of ‘no faith’ are still so keen to claim a position of objectivity.

 (William Lane Craig is currently running a ‘Reasonable Faith‘ lecture and debate series.)

A new book by Steve Jeffery, Mike Overy and Andrew Sach, all of Oak Hill Theological College is to be published next month.  The website accompanying the book which has links to some useful resources, including relevant texts, songs, and articles is now live at: www.piercedforourtransgressions.com.  Well worth a look.

There is an excellent article at BeThinking which goes into a little more detail regarding the weakness of many of Dawkins’ arguments.  Well worth a look.

We’re now on one.  Just thought I should mention it.

‘Generation Next’ have published the findings of their recent survey exploring the attitudes of young men towards ministerial training.  It makes interesting reading, and the discussion forum will hopefully be useful in exploring some of the issues raised.  Find out more here: Generation Next.
