Are There Absolutes?

The concept of moral responsibility is a primary reason why some people deny the existence of God, as it implies accountability for one's actions. The idea of absolutes is central to the Christian faith, but is often rejected by those who advocate for relativism and nihilism. This rejection can lead to a loss of meaning and purpose, as well as a lack of objective standards for truth and morality. In contrast, the Christian faith provides a framework for understanding the origin and destiny of humanity, and assigns dignity and value to human existence based on its relationship to an absolute being.

Does God Exist?

The concept of a self-existent eternal being is often seen as absurd, but it's a notion that has been debated by philosophers and theologians for centuries. The cosmological argument, which suggests that the existence of the universe requires a cause, is a fundamental objection to the idea of a self-existent universe. However, proponents of the cosmological argument argue that the universe's finite nature and the presence of contingent parts suggest that it cannot be self-existent. Instead, they propose that the universe is created by a self-existent eternal being, which is a concept that is central to the Christian faith. [... more]

AI Is Not the Problem, We Are

The growing concern about artificial intelligence's potential to destroy humanity and its impact on education, particularly in making cheating normal, is often misplaced.
