As humans, we are intellectual, volitional, and emotional beings. We have a rational mind by which to think, we have a will or capacity for agency by which we act, and we have emotions which lead us to punch stuff or eat bad food when we’re upset. But as fallen and finite human beings, we...

Are we living in a computer simulation? Are we just a video game being played by some snot-noised kid on Alpha Centauri? This idea, or family of ideas, is known as The Simulation Hypothesis and it has been gaining more and more traction since philosopher Nick Bostrom wrote his 2003 paper “Are...

It’s Thunder Thursday folks! Check out the latest SoT podcast with my brother Joel and I. On this episode we discuss “triggering” and when a christian should take offense, if at all.

Episode 3: When Should Christians Get Offended?

It should be no surprise to anyone reading this that we currently live in an ‘outrage culture’ (also known as a ‘call-out culture’). According to that bastion of cultural wisdom, Urban Dictionary, outrage culture is:

I initially started this blog because I had some stuff to say about theology and I wanted to say it in creative, down-to-earth ways. But throughout my growth as a thinker, many of my posts have lost their down-to-earthiness. How shall this down-to-earthiness be restored? Are my blog posts no longer...

As most of my readers already know, when it comes to Cornelius Van Til I’m pretty much a sycophant. But, As an evangelical Christian apologist, I also have to read C.S. Lewis on the regular and quote him at least once in all of my papers and blog posts. These two guys are my dudes. Although...

Here it is folks! After yesrs of talk, my brother Joel and I finally started our podcast. This first episode is a general introduction to us and an introduction to apologetics. We discuss various reasons for why we practice what is known as ‘presuppositional apologetics’ (which should...

Part two of my final paper for Dr. Feinberg’s “Problem of Evil” class was a short paper on how to give pastoral counsel Job in the midst of his affliction. This prompt forces us to deal with the religious problem of evil rather than the intellectual problem. Any problem of evil...

“But I would not talk endlessly about facts and more facts without ever challenging the nonbeliever’s philosophy of fact.” -Cornelius Van Til, The Defense of the Faith, 257.

“The result of our historical enquires thus depends on the philosophical views which we have been...

The Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans is one of the most influential and theologically rich Epistles given from God to His Church. Since that is the case, Romans 1:16 and 17- as they set up the theme of the entire Epistle- are two of the most important verses to understand if we want to...

If God is all knowing, if He is all powerful, and if He is good, then He’d have to stop any and all instances of evil, wouldn’t He? He would know about all evil, He would be able to stop all evil, and He would want to stop all evil, therefore since God exists there should be no evil,...

“What huge imago made a psychopathic god” -W.H. Auden

The phrase “repent of your sins” is a common expression today, especially amongst Evangelical Christians. But when asked, “what is a sin” the common Evangelical answer is “missing the mark”. And...

This is a short assignment I presented to my Analytic Theology class which is being taught by Dr. James Arcadi here at TEDS. In it, I interact with Andrew Chignell’s proposed solution for the Analytic theologian to the problem of what “Kant has shown”.

Maverick is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and he’s an absolute brute. He is a really sweet boy and would never intentionally hurt anyone. However, watching him pulverize and scarf down a half chicken for lunch engenders a greater sense of reverence with each crunch. He’s not mean or...

Fall 2015 talking about God on a campus in Puerto Rico with some great guys I met

We don’t want to believe in God. If you look at the stats worldwide and even in the United States you might come to another conclusion. “Most people actually do believe in God, Park”. So let me expand on what I’m saying, most people don’t...
