Christianity: Truth or Lie?

"Historic Christianity stands on the beliefs that classical logic represents the 'Truth of God' and sound reason is the foundation of the Christian faith. In contrast, modern Christianity frequently appears to be hanging perilously on a framework of bad science, fuzzy logic and situational truth. Can Christianity survive in an era of computer logic and scientific scrutiny?"

Purpose of This Site

For the first 40 years of my life, I believed Christianity was not grounded in the events of history, the facts of science, the rules of logic or any reasonable concept of truth. During this period, information was available to dispel my beliefs but such information was often embedded in a framework of bad science, fuzzy logic and situational truth. The book entitled Christian Handbook of Reason and Insight for Scientists and Technologists, available free from this Web Site, places existing information in a framework of sound science, solid logic and absolute truth. Most of the references are 2 - 3 decades old suggesting the presentation may be new but the information is not.

Jesus said, “I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” If this book motivates one non-Christian to “open the door,” its primary purpose will have been accomplished. If one Christian becomes a stronger apologist, a secondary purpose will have been accomplished.

Ten questions are addressed with classical logic; supplementary material has been relegated to the references so the reader can focus entirely on the critical arguments. This book is not a source of original thought; instead, it is a compendium of critical arguments uncluttered by supplementary material and excessive personal opinion. The reader is challenged to refute these arguments.
