Open Air Preaching: West Virgina University Part 1

Open Air Campaigners OAC evangelist preaches the gospel on the University of West Virginia campus using a sketch board. A group across the street from where we were set up decided they would turn up their music at certain points during the message. It is interesting that they did this during crucial points of the message. Anyone can learn how to use the sketch board at OAC Evangelism Training Seminars held every June in Washington, DC and Boston. To sign up for training this June please visit us at: www.oacusa.org

Intangibility doesn't mean unmeasurable. We know gravity exists because we can easily and scientifically test and measure it. On the other hand, we've yet to be able to observe, test and measure a god. Science also explains quite a lot about morality, particularly how evolution has encouraged social organisms (humans, for one) through natural selection to behave in ways that benefit a society and improves the probability of continued survival. In the explaining game, religions are far behind.

@igoturnose Hitler thought he was benefiting society by speeding up the so-called evolutionary process by getting rid of people he saw as polluting the gene pool. On what basis do you say he was wrong? Logic it different than gravity because logic is conceptual by nature and gravity is not. Therefore your argument would fall under the unacceptable category of a straw man. Thanks for trying.

You are in denial.

@openairevangelism

Honest people accept the facts even when they do not like it. To believe that reality will bend to our wishes is a form of arrogance. No god or spirituality was needed for morals to develop, the immaterial argument does not work. We know how morals developed through necessity, rejecting the facts do not invalidate the truth. Logic comes from our expanding knowledge of reality.

Evolution is no more of a religion than watering plants. Evolution just describes part of nature.

@igoturnose,

Your denial does not prove anything. Until you show me a law of morality or a law of logic you have not accounted for either with your naturalistic world view. Again stop stealing from the Judeo Christian world view. Your religion of Naturalistic Evolution is untenable.

We know these things based on evidence that has been discovered, and there's a lot of it. Religious beliefs explain nothing. Creationism has no scientific value, at best it's an opinion. Scientists' findings about morality are not ambiguous, they're observed facts. Its origins are not spiritual, nor would a god need to establish it. In terms of "world view", those who look into the evidence will find that again, religious beliefs can't actually explain much of anything.

@igoturnose,

Hello,

Your are reasoning back to a presupposition that naturalism and empiricism are true. The problem with that is you cannot account for anything abstract so your world view is insufficient for explaining the real world. You make the ambiguous claim that science tells us about morality but you cannot show me a law of morality because they are immaterial. Logic is immaterial. Therefore, be consistent and stop stealing from the Judeo Christian world view.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
