While many in the church today, who having bitten off the principles of the world rather than swallowing the word of God, fail to recognize it, the truth remains that CHRISTIAN SKEPTICISM is not only our great heritage and long standing tradition, but also our Christian calling! (Swordbearer: Christian Skepticism – Our Great Heritage and Calling; July 07)
The key is how the different schools of thought withstand internal critique. Naturalism struggles with internal critique, because it is inductive by nature. Any of its conclusions can be viewed with skepticism, because we can never examine all the evidence in all relationships in all senses. It further refuses to admit to its own metaphysical components. For example, how can the naturalist prove the laws of logic by use of the scientific method, without being viciously circular? It is a metaphysical assumption held to by a groundless faith.

If you say that God is “unnecessary in everything we know about”, how do you know that? Do you know “everything we know about”? Who are “we”? How did you come to know the meaning of the word “be”? You said that you don’t know where the universe comes from. How does that remove the necessity for God? At the very least, it is equally an explanation as any other if you don’t know. So then God is not removed from everything we know about, since the universe had to come into existence in order to exist. (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)
You mean to say that you actually have evidence that the universe wasn’t created? That would be monumental. Can you point us to this evidence? (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)

...a SHOCKER, though it shouldn't be.
The truth remains the truth whether espoused (or neglected) by believers, or spoken by unbelievers. (While I'm not familiar with the authenticity, etc. of the things on the video, assuming it is as it is portrayed, this, by the way, is not the first time, God has used the words of an unbeliever to speak truth to gain the attention of believers, especially in areas of neglect or failure to act.
While an experienced exegete can obviously find some faults/weaknesses in what he says, overall I'd have to say he communicates the message rather well... May this be used for more Christians to reflect, to self-examine, and to move forward in greater faithfulness to the great and precious calling we have received.
Wow.
I need to post this.
I agree with him...
