These Darwinian Characterizations of Morality Just Don’t Work

Description

Greg talks about an argument atheist Michael Ruse made for people to be “moral” even though there are no grounds for being good, then he answers questions about Frank Turek’s claim that the Calvinist God is like Allah, and whether the continued existence of the Jews is evidence for God.

0:00 Atheist Michael Ruse’s confused argument for morality

25:17 How would you respond to Frank Turek’s claim that if God regenerates people so that they can believe, but he doesn’t do that for everyone, then God is finite in his love and infinite in his justice, and that’s not the God of the Bible; it’s Allah?

44:42 Is there any merit to using the fact that the Jews are still around today as an apologetic?
