Meeting 9 - Abstract

Prof. Witmer just sent me the title and abstract of his talk this coming Tuesday at meeting 9:

________________
"Atheism, Reason, and Morality: Responding to Some Popular Christian Apologetics"

Apparently a certain Christian position known as "presuppositionalism," a variety of Calvinist thinking, is quite popular in the online world as a way of defending Christianity and attacking atheism. According to this position, any position other than Christian belief is not just false but somehow incoherent or self-undermining. My focus in the talk will be to do three things. First, I want to get a fair picture of this position out on the table. Second, I want to consider what sort of atheist response is appropriate. Third, I will offer some suggestions about how, in practice, one is well-advised to respond in encounters with such advocates.
