WEBINAR: Answering Your Atheist Philosophy Professor

Apr 16, 2020
Back to Events

Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. This event was made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute.

You have two sections to choose from:
 
1:00pm-2:00pm
(The previously listed 11:00-12:00 session has been combined with this later session.)
 
3:30pm-4:30pm
 

Could God make something that He couldn't move? If God is perfect, why are humanity and the world so imperfect? 

In March of 2019, a San Diego State University professor of philosophy submitted an Opinion piece to the New York Times in which he claimed that God is an incoherent concept. The above are just some of the questions you will undoubtedly hear when you go off to college and encounter passionate, athiest philosophy professors like him for the first time. In fact, you might hear these questions already from peers or family members! What do we do about these arguments that seem so insurmountable?

The way to counter these arguments is much easier than you think. During this hour-long webinar, we will read together the NYT article and discover how, just using our own common sense and the powers of close reading, what seem to be complex, undeniable proofs for the absurdity of God's existence are actually easily toppled through the logic they themselves utilize. 

You won't need a Bible, you won't need a philosophy textbook, you won't need a college degree: You'll just need the mind you already have.

How does that sound? Want to be able to outsmart a college philosophy professor with your own high school brain?
