Welcome to the Manawatu Christian Apologetics Society We are a group of Evangelical Christians interested in Christian apologetics - that is, understanding and defending the Christian faith intellectually, through reasoned and informed discussion. Some reasons why you may want to join with us can be found in the About Apologetics section. We meet every month to learn and discuss how to defend the Christian faith (see Meetings links for more details). Discussion may be related to areas such as: the Da Vinci Code, C.S. Lewis, intelligent design, the resurrection, philosophy/theology, environmentalism, logic, secularism, arguments for God's existence, training our kids to survive the state school system, why we need Apologetics, ... and many more ...
Apologetics is a broad discipline and you are welcome to attend and talk with us about your interests, your struggles, books you have recently read and more. We would love to hear from you. |

Reclaiming Science from Darwinism: A Clear Understanding of Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Des |
|
Foreword: William Dembski, PhD.
Darwinism is a 150–year–old icon that has been
propped up by unproven suppositions. The scientific discoveries of
the last few decades are now kicking out the props.
Dr. Kenneth Poppe is convinced the icon is ready to topple.
Providing extensive scientific evidence of Darwinism’s
failures, this career biology instructor uses enlightening
analogies and examples to explain the theory’s problems:
- blind–luck assembly of the first cell
- mathematical improbabilities
- the laws of thermodynamics
- hypothetical sudden mutations
- biased mind–sets
Spiced with humor and helpful graphics, this popularly targeted
text shows readers that—in regard to objections to
evolution—the science is truly there.

Argument by assertion is unanswerable. If, for instance,
some vague waffle about an evolutionary transition does not satisfy
a recalcitrant student, the instructor simply says, "This point
should be intuitively obvious. I've explained it as clearly as I
can. If you still cannot see it, you will just have to think very
carefully about it yourself, and then you will see how trivial and
obvious it is." The instructor at this point might also want to
add, "What are you, a creationist?" or "Are you one of those
Christian fundamentalists?" or "Where have you been brainwashed?"
Arguments by demonization like this are particularly
effective when one or a few students get unruly, but the majority
sides with the instructor.
