"What philosophy do you need to prove the earth is round?"

You don't know? Really?

OK prove to us that the Earth is round without using any philosophical assumptions.

Five flaws in the thinking of the new atheists

By UK philosopher Peter S. Williams. (H/T Apologetics 315) / winteryknight.wordpress.com



It’s 9 minutes long.

Topics:

  1. Atheists misunderstand the nature of faith.
  2. Atheistic view of epistemology is self-refuting.
  3. Atheistic view of morality is self-contradictory.
  4. Atheistic view of free will is self-contradictory.
  5. Atheists don’t understand theistic arguments.
This is a short presentation of the material presented in this paper.

If you want to hear more from Peter, this debate with an academic postmodern relativist is just awesome.
