Popular but False Ideas

by Clinton Chisholm

In our dialogue about the existence of God this morning (Newstalk 93, Jamaica) my friend Lloyd D’Aguilar a professing atheist repeated some notions that are downright false even though propounded by reputable scientists. I am summarizing the essence of the false ideas and not necessarily quoting Lloyd or any scientist (unless otherwise indicated).

False Idea #1- Given millions or billions of years matter can generate almost anything.
The flaw here is that time is treated…

As a colleague pointed out to me, the JWs’ treatment of Jn. 1.1c as saying ‘Jesus is a god’ begs the question ‘what kind of god is he?’
If he is being affirmed as a false god then why…
