Debate - God specially created mankind less than 10,000 years ago.
« on: May 23, 2022, 09:05:43 PM »
Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, 
 
Pax Christi!
 
Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 24, at 9 p.m. EST, Dr. Kevin Mark and I will have an internet debate with a prominent atheist Youtuber, Tom Jump, and one of his associates, Mark Reid. We will be defending the proposition that "God specially created mankind less than ten thousand years ago." The debate will be viewable on line at the Modern Day Debates website at this link.
 
If you would like to ask a question after the first two rounds of the debate, please email me at howen@shentel.net now and I will tell you how to ensure that your question will be asked.
 
Tomorrow is the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. Please join us in praying for her intercession that She will grant success to our efforts and lead many souls to her Son through this debate.
 
In Domino, 
 
Hugh Owen

Well, God bless them for trying. I remember the debate between Ken Hamm and Bill Nye years ago when I was an atheist, and that did nothing to convince me except to laugh at him.

Jump is somewhat cautious on evolution (ATCG randomized microevolution only, I notice smarter atheists have retreated to this) but this is probably going to be people talking past each other because there is just 0 common ground for someone like Jump and Dr. Mark. Less interesting than evolution debates TBH because creationists and atheists have more common ground there.

I think the problem I always have with these is that it is always Protestants who aren't that familiar with philosophy. I recall this one video that made me chuckle, where a moderator of a "Christian" debate server got super angry and started angrily repeating something to the effect of "YOU HAVE NOT DISPROVED THE CHRISTIAN GOD". Whenever I see an atheist use the term I chuckle inside a little. Why a "Christian" wouldn't just use the term "God" instead is beyond me but that is Protestantism and "apologetics".

Protestantism, in all of its flavors, is pure cringe and is solely responsible for keeping me away from Christ for 27 years of my life (give or take 2 or so as a Methodist when I was a kid, which was also cringe). It's funny, because I remember having respect for what little I knew of Catholicism but it was the Evangelical and Baptist-variety "Christianity" that kept me from taking it seriously.

My wife and I would watch "Jesus Camp" and other stuff for a laugh.
