Awesome Apologetics Links

[dizzle]

Let's post some of the best apologetics links here.

First on my list... Tekton Apologetics Ministries (www.tektonics.org)

Massive site with articles on alleged Biblical contradictions and refuting sceptical charges against the Bible. Other article concern misc Christian doctrines such as eschatology (he advocates orthodox preterism), baptism, soteriology, etc.

[LilPunkishOfTerror]

how's about,

www.christian-thinktank.com

another major apologetic and philosophy site, by glenn miller

deals with queries about ethics, textual problems, pagan myth claims, Jewish background to the Christian faith, and more.

[Lizard]

Not fair, the first two post have links to my two favorite apologetic sites. :(

Well the link I am providing is to Sackcloth and Ashes (http://www.sackclothandashes.org/). This is an apologetic satire site. Warning this site is heavy on the satire, and not intended for those withouth a sense of humor.

Only downsids is updates are extremely rare.

Hey guys it would be useful if you could put under each link what each site specializes in so that this can be a useful reference for future use for us.

[Pate]

OK, I'll give some descriptions about these sites.

http://www.leaderu.com/menus/apologetics.html
Large collection of articles on many different areas of apologetics.

http://www.leaderu.com/offices/billcraig/
William Lane Craig. Possibly the best Christian apologist today. Many interesting articles and debates.

http://www.leaderu.com/offices/dembski/
William Dembski. One of the big names of Intelligent Design-movement.

http://leaderu.com/offices/koons/
Robert Koons. Has many interesting articles on subjects like philosophy of religion and philosophy of science.

http://www.reasons.org
Reasons to Believe Ministries. Possibly the best site promoting progressive creationism.

http://www.hisdefense.com
Many stimulating articles by leading Christian thinkers. Also some Real Audio-resources.

http://www.origins.org/
Features scholarly and popular resources concerning intelligent design and philosophical theism.

http://members.tripod.com/~vantillian/

http://www.gospelcom.net/rzim/

Though this site looks pretty awful (in my opinion anyway), it has quite good content. Articles and debates on philosophical and theological issues, etc.

Truthman, off topic question, but is it God is now here or God is nowhere?

:huh: :bonk:

[truthman]

Both.

It is an attempt to trap the postmoderns in their own flawed logic of relative truth.

It is a self contradictory statement that draws in Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics, postmoderns and relativists alike as seen by this picture of our evangelism tent

By the way, that's me on the right in the black.

I used to be United Pentecostal for a good portion of my life and I just went there for support. At the time there were no Oneness/Trinitarian mixed healing centers anywhere! So I checked this place and just had a little stay. Now I am a Trinitarian who is going to a Baptist church. I praise God for leading me through the narrow and out of that church!

Here are some of the best sites that I've come across:

For scientific arguments made by fully credentialed scientists (and professors) against the theory of evolution and in favor of creation see:

www.trueorigins.org

A list of 100 scientists that "Dissent from Darwinism" can be found at:

www.arn.org/docs2/news/100scientists0929.htm

For an excellent site with articles on apologetic methodology, ethics, theology, etc. see:

http://www.cmfnow.com/page.asp?id=8

For excellent information, rebuttals, debates, etc. (From a Reformed perspective) on issues such as Sola Scripture, Justification by Faith Alone, various Cults, etc., see:


www.aomin.org

www.ntrmin.org

www.christiantruth.com

[markg]

Hi,

my first post

Did anyone mention this one?

http://www.bede.org.uk/

Bede's library - reasonable apologetics

"The aim of the Library is show how a person of a scientific background came to Christianity and has had his faith strengthened rather than weakened by argument and reason. It is intended for other seekers who want to be Christians but need to know that they will not be asked to commit intellectual suicide to become one."

One of my favourites along with Tektonics and the Christian Think-Tank.


Also this one:

http://www.errantskeptics.org/

the Errant Skeptics Research Institute

"A collection of writings, quotes, and debates on God, Jesus Christ, Bible, Christian apologetics, theology, church, atheism, skepticism, The Jesus Seminar, G.A. Wells, Darwinism, Intelligent Design, second law of thermodynamics, evolution, theistic-evolution, eugenics, the Kansas State School Board evolution ruling, and historical quotes by the Founding Fathers regarding America's relationship with God"

But why do they have to use that hokey term "institute"?

Hey Ric!

[dizzle]

Hey Socrates and JJ... I think I will move this into another thread if you both don't mind. What I am going to do is leave in this thread the initial posts where you both recommend certain links.. but copy those posts as the starting posts in a new thread in the Science section. So those posts will be in both threads. However, the remaining comments back and forth will all be moved into the new thread to keep this one somewhat continuous on posting links. I hope that is acceptable...

[dizzle]

Well I was able to move the posts into a new thread but unable to keep some of them here as well.... here is the link to the Creation Science discussion...

Probe Ministries (http://www.probe.org/)
Provides answers to many different questions and topics.

Rational Christianity (http://www.rationalchristianity.net)
Graphics-free general apologetics site. (Authored by a woman, too, which I think is cool.)

Ex-atheist.com (http://www.ex-atheist.com/)
Commentary about skepticism by - what else? - an ex-atheist.

EDIT: Forgot to add that the Errant Skeptic website is one of my favorites - esp. the online debate texts. Hilarious!

It is also a support site for struggling Pentes.

What's a Pente?

Pentecostal. Or, hyper-Pentecostal, as the case may be.

What is your opinion on www. gotquestions .org ? Me curious.

I visit there sometimes.

It's good website, my opinion. :c}

I am not sure if I remember there are more christian links that I visit sometimes. ^_^

[GlowingBeard]

AmI2Hvy4Ya and AngelDragon beat me too it, but godandscience.org was the first website that really solidified my Christianity. Deem's grasp on science, philosophy, and history is strong. I especially like his article on Genetics and Homosexuality. The only concern is that he does not accept evolution, but since that is not my in field, I still use Deem in defense of Old-Earth and ID as a philosophy.

http://www.existence-of-god.com/index.html This is a nice, quick site that deals with the basic 5 arguments as well as the Rock argument and POE, but also provides pages dedicated to atheistic arguments. Its a site worth reading, and if you have an hour its possible to read everything on it.

http://wicca.timerift.net/ You may be confused as to why I put a site dedicated to Wiccan Apologetics. I live in a community with many Neo-Pagans and Wiccans that don't even know how old their own religion is but mock Christianity often. I use this site to defeat the Fluffy Bunnies.
