Dr. Jonathan Sarfati’s Online Books

Yes, Dr. Jonathan Sarfati is the chessmaster guy who can play blindfolded against many opponents simultaneously (see Wikipedia).

His books “Refuting Evolution I” and “Refuting Evolution II” are available for reading online.

These are just a couple of the many free books that are listed on TruthBomb’s website here.

And changing the subject to “Cults”, here are a couple of websites that focus specifically on Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons.

Is Banning Same-sex Marriage Like Banning Interracial Marriage?

Here.

Let me be blunt: denying same-sex couples from marriage is not the same as denying interracial couples from it. Although anti-miscegenation laws were immoral, the same mistake is not happening today. And despite the rhetorical force of making the comparison, merely claiming it’s the same does not make it so.

Stand to Reason / Life Training Institute Apologetics Speaker Tour September 2012

Stand to Reason / Life Training Institute
Apologetics Speaker Tour
September 2012

Thinking Matters New Zealand is proud to host these three top US speakers in September and would like to make them available to your church or youth group.
They can speak on any topic relating to the defence of Christianity, the sanctity of human life or any other theological topic which equips Christians to know and defend the essential beliefs of their faith.
These are three dynamic and experienced communicators who engage both the heart and mind, leaving audiences challenged and inspired.
Brett and Jay speak to thousands of adults and students at churches, conferences, and university campuses across the US each year, while Amy writes for the Stand to Reason blog (at str.typepad.com – which has a readership of roughly 32,000 visit per month) and has spoken at churches and women’s retreats.
Each speaker brings different specialities and can contribute in different ways. See over for a list of potential presentation topics.

Available individually or as a group, for daytime or evening presentations, sermons, workshops, women’s ministry groups (Amy) or casual youth-group discussions.

The dates are as follows (there is still some flexibility in these):

  • Auckland: Friday 14th September to Sunday 16th September, and a week later on the morning of Sunday 23rd September.
  • Hamilton/Tauranga/Rotorua: Sunday 16th September to Wednesday 19th September.
  • Palmerston North: Wednesday 19th September to Thursday 20th September.
  • Wellington: Thursday 20th September to Saturday 22nd September.

Possible Speaking Topics

Brett, Jay & Amy Q&A Panel. Our speakers work well as a team for casual conversations and challenging questions on any topics in the area of ethics, values, religion and God.

If you would like to host these speakers in your church, please contact Rodney ASAP at: Rodney@ThinkingMatters.org.nz

Apologetics for Kids

Dear Mr. Dawkins

All the way from Australia… Check out this nice clean simple website Doubting Dawkins. It concisely points out how silly and inconsistent Dawkins’ thinking is.

You can download the “Dear Mr. Dawkins…” PDF poster here.

Great interview with Prof. John Lennox

“There is no need at all to be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, of the Good News, because it fits with science and there are answers”

Justin Brierley meets Oxford maths professor and Christian apologist John Lennox

The Times newspaper recently labelled John Lennox as “Christianity’s new poster boy”. It’s a description Lennox greets with his infectious Irish chuckle, readily admitting he doesn’t exactly have the physique of a male pin-up.

How then, did the Oxford mathematician and philosopher of science earn the label? Because he fought Dawkins and won (according to many, at least). John Lennox isn’t just a good academic; he’s also an excellent communicator. Affable, fluent and with a smile in his eyes, he draws the listener in, an evangelist for both science and Christianity.

Great book, great price

$2.99 USD on Kindle.  I have read about 50% of True Reason: Christian Responses to the Challenge of Atheism (Amazon) so far and it is excellent.  It’s not too big, not too heavy, and has an excellent tone that confronts the new atheism in a respectful but intellectually rigorous manner.
