I’ve been more than just a little busy since doing the DL on Thursday. In fact, we did the program early because I had a rather important event that afternoon: helping my future son-in-law surprise my daughter Summer with a proposal of marriage (she said yes!). So do forgive my tardiness in blogging the program. Always remember, the Dividing Line

We will be doing the Dividing Line at the early time on Thursday (11am MST), so please join us then!

Spent the first portion of the program responding to George Bryson’s “Doom and Gloom” anti-Calvinist piece, played some sections of Bassam Zawadi’s presentation on Christianity (I have been informed that it was not done in London, as I had expected, but in the UAE in the summer of 08), and then took callers, including a final call accusing me of

What are the odds of those two things happening on the same day we

The first time I disappeared was due to the hotel wireless: they simply cycle all the users off twice a day, and, well, that happened about eleven minutes in. Why I dropped the connection three or four more times, I don’t know, but I think Rich managed to

Felt like I was back in a seminary classroom today! It was great. Our first caller, Peter, set a new record for how many questions you can cram into one phone call. Well done. Then we had a great conversation with Landon on presuppositional apologetics, then talked to Dan from Maine on NT Wright and justification, and even talked with

Listened to portions of the Hitchens/Dembski debate on the existence and goodness of God. We were left wondering what a shallow defense of Mother Theresa had to do with the topic, and mourned the opening it gave Hitchens to conclude the debate most memorably. Theology matters, again. Then we took e-mail questions on a variety of topics, commented briefly on
