As you may remember, I am hosting a dinner for a few members of the blog on my home turf, in Durham NC, on Monday Sept. 24. One of the people who had originally planned on coming has had a conflict and has to back out. So I have one more opening at the table. If you are interested in coming — the first to respond gets the seat! Please contact me not here on the blog, but via email at [email protected] The only requirements are that you be a member of the blog, that you show up willing to talk, and that you pay for your own meal.

Why don’t you think the prime mover or cosmological argument is a good proof for God?
It has the same problems as any theory of origins: where did the origin or originator come from? So it doesn’t *solve* the problem but just asserts a different answer to it, and one that isn’t needed. (If you say, God was always there, then you’re saying you don’t need an originator, so the argument is self-defeating.)
Professor, if the cosmos is assumed to be evidence of an originator, do you think it is evidence of exactly one originator, as opposed to a multiple, and if the evidence is for the existence of a creator(s) billions of earth years ago, is that evidence that the orginator(s) still exists?
I don’t think it does provide evidence, by the fact of its existence, of some kind of originator (if you mean a personal force, who “created” it)
Will Hurricane Florence postpone these dinner plans?
Should be distant history by dining time.
Hmmm. I wonder what Puerto Rico would say to that? 🙂
I know. How unbelievable.
I’ve just read page 121 of Triumph of Christianity – and I have to ask, Bart – will you be ordering Sea Bass for this dinner?! 🙂
If it’s on the menu! Love the stuff.
