Atheism, Richard Dawkins, and “The God Delusion” (part 6 of 8): This 747 Gambit Down In Flames (remixed)
URC Learning: Sinners & Saints - February 07, 2007 00:21 ★★★★★ - 3 ratings(24:56) Note: This show’s content was re-edited and replaces the original. Dawkins’ central argument against God’s existence–the “ultimate Boeing 747 gambit”–fails for at least two reasons. First, the gambit needs Darwinian evolution by natural selection to be true in spite of its glaring logical...

Atheism, Richard Dawkins, and “The God Delusion” (part 5 of 8): The Reliability of the Bible
URC Learning: Sinners & Saints - January 23, 2007 00:49 ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsAs if his simplistic attack against the Scripture’s moral fabric wasn’t enough, Dawkins marches forward to assault the Bible’s factual credibility. But evidence, common sense, and the modern scholarly consensus (even of the Bible’s detractors) are major obstacles to the credibility of his argument.

Atheism, Richard Dawkins, and “The God Delusion” (part 4 of 8): Did He Even Read the Thing?
URC Learning: Sinners & Saints - January 14, 2007 20:01 ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsUnable to plug the gaping hole left by his inability to account for absolute standards of morality, Dawkins resorts in chapter seven to try and discredit the Bible as that plug. Of course, he again proceeds to critique something without any foundation for objectivity; also, he analyzes the Script...

Atheism, Richard Dawkins, and “The God Delusion” (part 3 of 8): Coming up Empty
URC Learning: Sinners & Saints - January 09, 2007 20:42 ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsThe title of Dawkins’ sixth chapter, “The Roots of Morality: Why Are We Good?,” betrays his inability as an atheist to account for the absolute standards of morality which he so readily embraces and applies throughout the book and his own life. His speculations about humanity’s moral consensus ar...

URC Learning: Sinners & Saints - January 03, 2007 19:05 ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsIn part one, we urged people to see the necessity of actually believing that the Christian religious claims are true. This time, we affirm Dawkins’ assertion that most religion, even much of what is said and done in the name of Christ, is untrue, and superstitious, and devised and promoted for se...

Atheism, Richard Dawkins, and “The God Delusion” (part 1 of 8): Blood on Our Hands
URC Learning: Sinners & Saints - December 26, 2006 13:55 ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsHere we begin an eight-part series discussing this best-selling book by acknowledging that professing Christians are much to blame for the kinds of critiques Dawkins levies against theism. If we forsake orthodoxy, or if we keep it but trivialize it; if we say we believe something that we don’t th...
