Mini Conference: Critical Thinking
In this Mini Conference on Let’s Use Some Critical Thinking, Carl Kerby brings two seminars on Saturday morning from 9:00 AM until 12 noon.
- Answering Skeptics … Richard Dawkins!
- Real World Evangelism – The Smithsonian!
The claims made by Dawkins are not hard to answer if we use some critical thinking. You will be surprised to find out that the supposed “evidence” that is used supposedly showing human evolution as a fact, isn’t what the actual evidence supports if we use some critical thinking. There will be an extended time for Q&A after the second seminar.
The first seminar at 9:00 AM is on Answering Skeptics … Richard Dawkins!
Dr. Dawkins isn’t known for being friendly! Can Christians withstand his attack? Watch and see. Richard Dawkins is one of the most antagonistic of the “new atheists”. In this talk Carl takes a video that Dr. Dawkins made where he ambushed then President of Concerned Women for America, Wendy Wright, and addresses the questions that he raised. Christians need to be aware that if Richard Dawkins is using an argument, hundreds of those that follow his every move will use it. Using secular sources Carl will show that the claims that he makes are not that difficult to give an answer to. The problem is not in the evidence, the problem is in the interpretation of the evidence. What about homo erectus? What about homo habilus?What about austrolopithecus? What about children having “gill slits” as they develop in their mothers womb?These plus many more questions are addressed in this talk. This talk is designed to address the “Know it!” component of the Reasons for Hope ministry.
The second seminar at 10:30 AM is on Real World Evangelism – The Smithsonian!
Can’t make it to Washington D.C. to tour the Smithsonian? Let’s do a virtual tour, from a biblical perspective.Using only secular sources Carl will discuss the supposed evolutionary ancestors that are depicted in the Smithsonian’s 24.5 million dollar exhibit showing human evolution. This is a great talk to do with people just before they go on a trip to Washington D.C. and visit the world famous museum. You may be surprised at what is actually found, and what is depicted. You may also be surprised to find out that the supposed “evidence” that is used supposedly showing human evolution as a fact, isn’t what the actual evidence supports. This is a VERY important talk and ones that will hopefully show parents how to teach their children to apply their faith in the “real world”! This talk will address the “Know it!” & “Share it!” challenge.
