This
seminar was recorded by the NW Creation Network during the Digging for
the Truth Series at The Bear Creek School, Redmond WA
What happens when we die? Can miracles be explained?
Is there really a God? Answers to questions such as these are as varied
as they are confusing, and spring from a variety of mystical belief
systems. But the fact is, we can know the truth. There are solid,
logical answers to satisfy the heart and mind of those who are seeking.
If you or someone you know has genuine questions about issues at the
core of human existence, this apologetic series is an excellent
resource.
Have you ever heard that all roads lead to
heaven? Have you had someone tell you that as long as you’re sincere
about what you believe, it doesn’t really matter what you believe? If
you hold to one of those ideas, or you would like some good answers
about how to respond, Chip addresses those very questions.
Chip wraps up this series with a question -
perhaps the most important question you may have ever been asked.
That's intriguing! What could be the very most important question
you've ever been asked? Join Chip to find out.

If you or someone you know has genuine questions about issues at the
core of human existence, this apologetic series is an excellent
resource.
We've been talking about why you can
confidently believe in the claims of Christ and Christianity. Most
likely, you know why you believe. But there is a group of people -
people you know, people you love, people you work with - who not only
don’t know, but they will likely never know, unless something changes.
Chip shares what has the potential to be a game changer when it comes to
taking the truth to those you love and care about.

If you or someone you know has genuine questions about issues at the

resource.
What would you say if I told you that some of
the most severe critics of evolution are not Christians, not
creationists, but leading scientific scholars - non-believing scholars -
who say the scientific evidence simply does not support evolution? Join
Chip as he dives deeper into the topic of creation vs. evolution.
Chip wraps up his 4-part study on creation vs.
evolution, and he saved the best for last. Chip hits the theory of
evolution head-on with some incredible evidence from the scientific
community.

The Big Bang. Evolution. Darwin. Creation.
Who’s right? Who’s wrong? The controversy of origin is all around us.

core of human existence, this apologetic series is an excellent
resource.
Have you ever secretly wondered if the Bible is
true? I mean “down deep” wondered. Could this book really be the very
Word of God? Chip gives you seven reasons - intellectually, feasible
reasons - why that belief is on solid ground.

core of human existence, this apologetic series is an excellent
resource.
What happens to you when you die? Do you move
on to another life? Are you just dead? How can you be sure? Chip
investigates life after death. This is a compelling, very encouraging
look at what comes next.
Have you ever heard someone say, “How could a
loving God send people to hell?” Do you know what the Bible really
teaches about hell and how a person gets there? Join Chip to find out.

Do you really have to throw your brains in the
trashcan to be a Christian? Do the claims of Christianity hold up under
intense, critical scrutiny? Join Chip, as he begins this series, to
find out how to defend your faith.
Is there compelling evidence that Jesus is who
He said He is; that He’s indeed alive today? Chip makes a case for the
resurrection of Jesus Christ that will give you compelling answers for
this much-debated tenet of the Christian faith.

Sam Gipp has recorded a very nicely done video that is simply filled with errors--errors historical, errors logical, errors factual, errors biblical. Let's begin the process of setting the record straight.

Antony Flew
After
the WWII, Flew achieved a first class degree in Literae Humaniores at
St John's College, Oxford. Flew was a graduate student of Gilbert Ryle,
prominent in ordinary language philosophy. Both Flew and Ryle were among
many Oxford philosophers fiercely criticised in Ernest Gellner's book
Words and Things (1959). A 1954 debate with Michael Dummett over
backward causation was an early highlight in Flew's career.[10]
For a
year, Flew was a lecturer in philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford.
Afterwards, he was a lecturer for four years at the University of
Aberdeen, and a professor of philosophy at the University of Keele for
twenty years. Between 1973 and 1983 he was professor of philosophy at
the University of Reading. At this time, he developed one of his most
famous arguments, the No true Scotsman fallacy in his 1975 book,
Thinking About Thinking. Upon his retirement, Flew took up a half-time
post for a few years at York University, Toronto.
Did Emperor Constantine have anything to do with putting in four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) in the New Testament? Many skeptics think the church supressed "gospels" outside of the New Testament, so they won't be in the canon of scripture. But is this true? Mike Licona explores this "Da Vinci Code" like conspiracy.
