Arguing Against Self ~ “Choosing” Determinism
Video Description:
See many more critiques against “Physicalism” here.
In the fourth podcast critique of the Sam Harris interview of Jerry Coyne… free-will is ejected as merely an illusion. Dr. William Lane Craig notes that ALLL the previous talk of morals, one position [like atheism] being true/correct in contradistinction to another [like theism], justice, Islam being “bad,” and the like… are all negated by this last segment regarding free-will.
Even my previous upload, where Jerry Coyne was talking about “how science” should operate ends up having no meaning in his viewpoint.
Included in this upload ~ after Dr. Craig quickly points out the self-referential negating going on between these two ~ is a “Check-Mate” of sorts of Sam Harris’ premise in his book, The Moral Landscape. This took place between Dr. Craig and Dr. Harris, and can be found in full, here.
As usual, one should visit the source of these great refutations in the ministry of Reasonable Faith ~ http://www.reasonablefaith.org/

52-Year-Old “Becomes” 6-Year-Old Girl
I updated my “Transageism” post with this video… see my “Cultural Issues Page” for more “Trans” topics.
So a 52-year-old transgender man decides to abandon his family to live the life of a 6-year-old girl. Leftism demands we accept this as normal, but just how normal is it really?
Dana Loesch Calls Out the Anti-God/Anti-Constitutional Left
Dana Loesch exposes the global alliance of elitists, media activists, Hollywood celebrities, campus radicals and political power mongers who have openly attacked sacred American values and the people who cherish them with ruthlessness, contempt and downright hatred. She calls out these Godless Left saboteurs for sharing the same fanatical fervor to tear apart the foundations of America as the terrorists who threaten our very survival.

Carolyn Walker-Diallo, Muslim judge, sworn in on Koran in Brooklyn
A routine municipal ceremony has become seeped in controversy after a Brooklyn Civil Court judge was sworn in using a Koran.
Carolyn Walker-Diallo, who was elected last month in Brooklyn’s 7th Municipal District, took her oath of office Thursday using the holy book of Islam as a testament to her Muslim faith.
[….]
There is no requirement that an officeholder swear on a specific religious text, or any text at all.
Walker-Diallo is not the first officeholder to be sworn in on the Koran: In 2006, Minnesota Rep. U.S. Keith Ellison did so.
Dr. Craig Critiques Jerry Coyne’s Laboratory Contention
At Reasonable Faith’s podcast, William Lane Craig delves into Jerry Coyne’s contention about the divide between science and religion. Listen to the entire episode here.
Size of Government (Left vs. Right)
How big should the government be? And what is its proper role in the daily lives of Americans? The Left and Right have opposite answers.
Feeling or Doing Good (Left vs. Right)
When setting public policy, what’s more important: intentions or results? Feeling good or doing good? When it comes to being guided by the heart or by the mind, the Left and Right are very different.
Dealing With Life (Left vs. Right)
The Left and Right perceive the world differently. One side sees it as it exists, accepts fundamental truths and facts–even if they are painful–and then adopts a worldview. The other side adopts a vision, and then views the world through that prism. Which side sees the world as reality? And which as it imagines?
Making Society Better (Left vs. Right)
How do you want to improve America? By focusing on improving and refining yourself? Or by transforming society? The answer to that question will reveal whether you’re on the Left or the Right.
Views on America (Left vs. Right)
Is the United States an exceptional country that has played a uniquely good role in history? Or is it a typical country, perhaps even a uniquely bad one considering the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow? On this, the Left and Right do not agree.
