WOTM: Arguments & Evidence, Part II
In part two, I share my theory about why William Lane Craig has always tried to persuade Christians that evidence is unnecessary — that all a non-nominal Christian needs is the witness of the Holy Spirit, Bill's self-authenticating way of "knowing" that Christianity is true wholly APART from the evidence.
Wouldn't that be nice? If you could just "know" things thanks to some inner voice speaking to you. I used to believe in that as a Mormon. Ridiculous!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You're all my very favorite people, and the best people I know. I'm not kidding. Enjoy! More is on the way. B

Ah, the different ways of knowing bit! I can't wait to see what those efforts yield when applied to mathematics, or engineering. I can see it now--college classes in faith-based chemistry, and entire courses on how to use faith as a tool! Yum!
That's worthy of a skit!
So… when Billy isn't feeling well, goes to the doctor, who takes his blood pressure, tests his oxygen level, does an x-ray, a CT scan, an MRI, an electrocardiogram, sends his blood sample to a lab, and then has to tell him that he has a fatal disease… he'll just scoff at the evidence 'cuz the "spirit" whispers to him that he's just fine, no problem, healthy as can be. Damn fool.
