Inspirational Quotes by William Lane Craig
“indeterministic”
“The point is this: if God does not exist, then life is objectively meaningless; but man cannot live consistently and happily knowing that life is meaningless; so in order to be happy he pretends that life has meaning.”
“J. Gresham Machen solemnly warned, False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Gospel. We may preach with all the fervor of a reformer and yet succeed only in winning a straggler here and there, if we permit the whole collective thought of the nation to be controlled by ideas which prevent Christianity from being regarded as anything more than a harmless delusion.1”
“Scientists used to think that whatever the very early universe might have been like, given sufficient time and some luck, intelligent life forms would eventually evolve somewhere. As a result of discoveries over the last fifty years or so, we now know that that assumption was wrong; in fact, quite the opposite is true.”
“Thus, although arguments and evidence may be used to support the believer’s faith, they are never properly the basis of that faith.”
“THE COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT: A SIMPLE FORMATION Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God. The universe exists. Therefore, the explanation of the universe’s existence is God. Logically speaking, this is”
“Left to himself, natural man would never come to God.”
“A good argument must obey the rules of logic; express true premises; and have premises more plausible than their opposites.”
“quest for social coherence become independent from one another. This is because on the view of relativism the search for self-fulfillment becomes radically privatized: each person chooses his own set of values and meaning.”
“Well, then, what explanation of the empty tomb do modern critics offer who deny the resurrection?” The fact is that they are self-confessedly without any explanation to offer.”
“Me rompe el corazón conocer a padres así. Desafortunadamente, su experiencia no es inusual. En la escuela secundaria y la universidad, los adolescentes cristianos son agredidos intelectualmente con todo tipo de cosmovisión no cristiana, junto con un relativismo abrumador. Si los padres no están intelectualmente comprometidos con su fe y no tienen argumentos sólidos para el teísmo cristiano y buenas respuestas a las preguntas de sus hijos, entonces estamos en peligro real de perder nuestra juventud. Ya no es suficiente enseñar a nuestros hijos historias bíblicas; ellos necesitan doctrina y apologética.”
“One of the last holdouts, Hawking finally came to agree that quantum theory requires that information is preserved in black hole formation and evaporation. The implications? “There is no baby universe branching off, as I once thought. The information remains firmly in our universe. I’m sorry to disappoint science fiction fans, but if information is preserved, there is no possibility of using black holes to travel to other universes.”
“Adopting the multiverse hypothesis to explain our ordered observations would thus result once more in a strange sort of illusionism.”
“Even though we may not like it, concludes Davies, we must say on the basis of the thermodynamic properties of the universe that the universe’s energy was somehow simply “put in” at the creation as an initial condition.118 Prior to the creation, says Davies, the universe simply did not exist.”
“Now the question is, what could conceivably transform an event that is naturally impossible into a real historical event? Clearly, the answer is the personal God of theism. For if a transcendent, personal God exists, then he could cause events in the universe that could not be produced by causes within the universe.”
“Popper says that the best way out of the problem of having unconscious points of view is to state clearly one’s view and to recognize that there are also other points of view.”
“Dios aún te ama y te hace responsable. Haré todo lo posible para presentarte buenos argumentos. Pero al final tienes que tratar, no con argumentos, sino con Dios mismo.”
“Thomas’s procedure, then, may be summarized in three steps: (1) Fulfilled prophecies and miracles make it credible that the Scriptures taken together as a whole are a revelation from God. (2) As a revelation from God, Scripture is absolutely authoritative. (3) Therefore, those doctrines taught by Scripture that are neither demonstrably provable nor empirically evident may be accepted by faith on the authority of Scripture.”
“it is difficult to see why the Resurrection Hypothesis is extraordinarily ad hoc. It seems to require only one new supposition: that God exists.”
