In his "Did Jesus Really Exist" presentation at the Worldview Apologetics Conference 2015, Dr. Fernandes mentioned this debate as a great example of how the Jesus Myth theory collapses before even basic scholarship. Here is the Summary:
"Institute of Biblical Defense (2014) – Christian philosopher Phil Fernandes and atheist Mark Fulton debate the resurrection of Jesus. Fernandes shows how incredibly radical Fulton's views are and how out of touch they are with historical reality on Jesus of Nazareth. Fulton represents so many young gullible atheists who would believe anything about Jesus – but no serious scholar or historian would."
May 5th, 2015
Dr. Fernandes was recently invited to speak at the Worldview Apologetics Conference. THis year, it was held at Westminster Chapel in Bellevue, Washington. Speakers at this prestigious event included (from the website):
" … Dr. Ravi Zacharias, Leader of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, Dr. Doug Geivett, a professor at Talbot School of Theology, BIOLA University, Dr. Norman Geisler, Ph.D, prolific author, veteran professor, apologist, evangelist and theologian and Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D., founder and national Spokesman of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation."
The event covered a number of popular level apologetics topics. These included (once again from the website):
"They will cover a myriad of topics that concern each of us in light of today's worldviews from a biblical point of view. Some of the topics will address Apologetics for the 21st Century, Can Atheists Live by Bread Alone?, What is a Wise Christian Understanding of and Response to Climatic Change?, Is the Bible Without Error?, An Ancient Message for Post Modern Times Through Modern Means and more."
Being part of this event, Dr. Fernandes had had the honor of sharing the stage with apologetics giants like Dr. Ravi Zacharias and Professor Normal Geisler.
While at this conference, Dr. Fernandes delivered three powerful presentations.
The first was titled Redating the Gospels. During his short presentation, Dr. Fernandes looks at the evidence for the traditional dating of the gospels. What evidence is there?
The second was titled Depraved New World. In it, Dr. Fernandes looks at how our new enlightened, secular culture is becoming one based on power rather than based on good and pure moral standards as we read in the Bible.
The third was titled Did Jesus Really Exist. Dr. Fernandes delivers an emotional response to the wacky "Jesus Myth" theory that so many youth believe.
April 18th, 2015
Many, many people have written the Institute looking for Dr. Fernandes' lecture notes on one series or another. In response to this, over the past 2 years, the Institute has put together the notes into paperback form. They've been formatted for following along with Dr. Fernandes' lectures.

For a moment, let us assume that Dr. Ehrman's view of the universe is correct. The universe exists without divine intervention. It just is. So if we just look around at the universe, taking what we see at face value, what is the universe telling us about ourselves and itself?
The universe tells us we are a miracle (in a secular sense, of course). The universe does not exist in chaos, you see, but there exists a grand order to it. Galaxies exist along threads; Stars along webs of matter and energy. Planets spin in stable orbits mimicking the pattern set by the smallest of molecules. The physical forces holding this symphony together are delicate. And those same forces work together to ensure the earth is in just the right place, at just the right time, in just the right way, for life to exist.
The Anthropic principle states that the universe appears to be fine tuned to allow like on earth. One can think of a grand board covered with over a hundred dials. Each of these dials controls a different aspect of the universe. One controls the distance from the sun, another the weak nuclear force, and another the amount of water on earth. Each of these control dials has been set just right. Even a little variation in a single dial and life on earth will cease to exist.
The Anthropic principle is the basis of a popular Design argument that states:
Rather than attempt to refute this argument, Dr. Ehrman has publicly stated during numerous debates with apologists like Dr. Craig Evans and Dr. William Lane Craig that he is not an atheist. He is an agnostic. The Anthropic principle is a contributing factor to this belief. Although the God of the Bible does not exist, in his opinion, the universe certainly is not a random occurrence.
So does this mean Dr. Ehrman is a proponent of Intelligent design? He has never stated his position. Can one logically believe in the anthropic principle and reject intelligent design? Probably not.
In the last 20 or 30 years, great advances have been made in fields of genetics, physics and astronomy. The more we learn, the most designed it all appears to be. This has led to the modern movement called Intelligent Design.
So let's begin by assuming, once again, that the universe was not created by God. The universe just is and we are examining it as mere observers. Dr. Hugh Ross, a well-known intelligent design proponent and astronomer, offers some food for thought:
Dr. Ross also gives some of the parameters of the earth itself that makes life possible on earth:
Dr. Ehrman has written many books. He chooses a topic and designs each of the chapters in the book in order to support the main topic he has chosen to write on. The book is the designed creation and Ehrman is the designer behind the design. The contemporary scientific evidence asks no more of Dr. Ehrman concerning the design of the universe than a reader would ask of Ehrman when he writes a book.
Dr. Ehrman should examine the following quotes by highly esteemed astronomers. Maybe then he would publicly endorse intelligent design and, just maybe, give the God of the Bible a second chance.
"A superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology …"3
– Astronomer, Dr. Fred Hoyle
"… the laws [of physics]… seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design…. There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature¹s numbers to make the Universe…. The impression of design is overwhelming."4
– Astronomer, Dr. Paul Davies (former atheist)
"As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency or, rather, Agency must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit?"
– Astronomer, George Greenstein, from his book The Symbiotic Universe.
"The medieval theologian who gazed at the night sky through the eyes of Aristotle and saw angels moving the spheres in harmony has become the modern cosmologist who gazes at the same sky through the eyes of Einstein and sees the hand of God not in angels but in the constants of nature…. When confronted with the order and beauty of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it¹s very tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it."
– Theoretical physicist, Dr, Tony Rothman
Dr. Ehrman does not mention or refute the contemporary scientific evidence which shows that the universe had a beginning. He does not disagree with the anthropic principle either. So if he does believe that the universe was created, as this suggests, and therefore the universe had a creator, isn't the God of the Bible the best qualified for this position?
Tugging on the emotional heart strings of his readers, laying out how bad the world is, does not disprove the God of the Bible. It certainly is not the same thing as answering the powerful scientific arguments for a beginning, and the beginner, of the universe. This all leads into the next part of this series which deals with the Moral Argument. The Moral argument can be used to show the existence of God from our moral sense and experience. It also acts as a foundation in answering Dr. Ehrman's primary reason why he abandoned the Christian faith: the evil and suffering in the world that this calls into question the existence of the God of the Bible.

After the brief spiritual biography of Dr. Ehrman given in the last article, it is important to identify the two sets of presuppositions that he brings to the table. The first set makes presuppositions about the existence of God and the second set about the possibilities of miracles. Each set builds on and reinforces the other in his books. However, since this article only deals with his agnosticism, I'll begin there.
Dr. Ehrman's presuppositions about the existence of a "supreme being" are fairly straight forward. Dr. Ehrman considers himself an agnostic when it comes to whether a supreme being exist and the God of the Bible most definitely does not exist. In his mind, all the pain and suffering in the world makes much more sense if there is no supreme being than if there is.
So a good place to begin responding to Dr. Ehrman's agnosticism is at the beginning; The beginning of the universe. Unless we are going to invoke magic, Dr. Ehrman needs to address the both philosophical and scientific question: How did the universe get here?
Considering that Dr. Ehrman doesn't believe in the supernatural, he must appeal only to science, and it is clear from Dr. Ehrman's writings that he hasn't really considered what it means that the universe had a beginning. Considering this would lead him to the necessity of a "creator". Apart from any supernatural assumptions, the scientific disciplines of Cosmology, Physics and Astronomy all agree that the universe had a beginning. And if the universe had a beginning, then it had a cause.
So Dr. Ehrman needs to deal with the scientific evidence for the beginning of the universe whether or not anything supernatural was involved. This evidence can be summarized into 5 major lines of evidence.
First, there are three major scientists, Einstein (1916), Tolma (1922) and Gamov (1946), who all found that the background temperature of the universe is cooling down.2 Right away this tells us that at one point it had a maximum temperature and that the universe can't be eternal.
According to the Big Bang theory, at some point in the past all the matter and energy in the universe existed as an infinitely tiny point. Where did this come from? What was it made of? That is still the subject of speculation. Regardless, the theory states that suddenly this tiny point of intensely hot energy expanded faster than the speed of light. Immediately following this event, the temperature of the universe was at its maximum. Since then the universe has been in the long process of cooling down.1
If the Universe had always existed, it would show a constant amount of usable energy (i.e. heat) and thus have a constant temperature. Since the universe is constantly losing usable energy, it can't be eternal. Thus the universe had a beginning.
A second line evidence, once again using the Big Bang theory, is that when the tiny point of energy expanded at the beginning, all matter and energy emanated from that point outward. We should then expect to see this expansion.
Space, with all of its galaxies, solar systems, stars and other heavenly bodies is expanding from that original point of the big bang.3 Three of the most important scientists in astronomy discovered this expansion of matter throughout the universe; They were Albert Einstien (1916) Edwin Hubble (1929) and George Gamov (1946). If the universe has always existed, all the matter in the universe would be evenly distributed throughout the universe. It is not.
The third major line of evidence for the beginning of the universe is the Cosmic Microwave Background (the CMB). This is the original radiation wavelengths from the initial expansion we call the Big Bang.
In 1965 two astronomers, Penzias and Wilson, were listening on a special astronomical instrument designed to detect certain types of energy waves. Right away, they heard static. After an investigation, they decided that it was bird droppings on the instrument causing the static. Yet after they cleaned off their instrument, they still heard the static. Moving the instrument around, believing the source to be terrestrial, it was soon discovered that the static was coming all parts of the universe.
At first, this the microwave radiation was assumed to be the "left overs" from the original Big Bang as predicted by earlier scientists!4 However, it was far too large and too hot. Later discoveries confirmed this. Unfortunately for scientists of the day, it was found that many bodies in the universe give off cosmic microwaves.
It was decades later before satellite data gave scientists what they believe is a picture of the residual cosmic microwaves from the original Big Bang event. If this is true, and the map they created accurate, this confirms both the expansion of the universe and its cooling trend.
If the universe never had a beginning, known sources of microwaves would have accounted for what is measured. If the CMB had been absent, it would have been the end of the Big Bang theory altogether. Another theory would have been needed to replace it.
This was the most important discovery in astronomy in 500 YEARS! It was yet another indication that the universe had a beginning.
Fourthly, if the universe was caused by a Big Bang event, there should be some evidence in the structure of the universe. If the universe has always existed, telescopes should show us a very ancient universe that is almost identical to the present one since all the galaxies, stars, and planets should have existed eternally into the past.5
In 1992, the scientific satellite, the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) offered astronomers an important clue about the formation of galaxies. The data seemed to confirm that the energy which came forth from the initial Big Bang explosion was used in the formation of the first galaxies. Hugh Ross, an astronomer, states that this is "perhaps the most concrete Big Bang evidence is that stable orbits and stable stars are possible ONLY in a big bang universe. Physical life would be impossible unless planets orbit with stability, stars burn with stability and stars orbit galaxy cores with stability."
If galaxies had existed from eternity past, galaxies would look very different from what we see today. Life may not even be possible in such a universe.
The fifth line of evidence for the beginning of the universe has to do with the scientific work of Albert Einstien. When one takes a bird's eye view of the entirety of Einstien's work, especially his theory of Relativity, it is shown that this theory shows that the universe must have had a beginning, and if the universe had a beginning, then it had a beginner. It was Einstien's work that laid the foundation for the first four lines of evidence cited above to show that the universe had a beginning,
Dr. Ehrman has to account for the existence of the universe. Science has shown that the universe began to exist, that it did not always exist. No contemporary scientist believes that the universe is eternal. Whatever problems Ehrman may have with the God of the Bible and the problem of suffering does not make these 20th century scientific discoveries disappear. He has to refute each of the five lines of scientific evidence that shows that the universe had a beginning and therefore had a beginner. In the next article, it will be shown that the universe and the world shows evidence of having been designed. And if there is evidence that the universe is designed, then it must have a designer.

10 Bart Ehrman, God's Problem 3
November 7th, 2014
Christian apologists Chris Date and Dr. Phil Fernandes debate the nature of hell from the scriptures.
October 27th, 2014
Dr. Bart Ehrman is an accomplished scholar and teacher in ancient biblical texts. He holds a teaching position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is also an atheist who writes extensively about Jesus, except that the Jesus he writes about is not the Jesus of the Bible.
His latest book is entitled "How Jesus Became God" Some of his other books include: "Jesus Misquoted" "Jesus Interrupted" "Lost Christianities", and "God's Problem". In each of these books, Dr. Ehrman attacks some aspect of the Historical Jesus, the Bible, or the accepted Christian Gospel.
Of course, numerous Christian scholars have written researched and well documented refutations of his books. Surprisingly, very few doubt the evidence he presents. The biblical texts do contain both different accounts and personal retellings. What they accuse Dr. Ehrman of doing is making invalid presuppositions in his argumentation. These presuppositions skew both his view of Jesus and his view of the biblical texts.
A look at Dr. Ehrman's personal biography shows his transformation from an evangelical Christian, to an agnostic, and finally to an atheist. Dr. Ehrman states that he's an agnostic on the existence of God, but is most certainly an atheist concerning the personal God of the Bible. The reason for his atheism is actually a common one: the problem of evil and suffering in the world. Dr. Ehrman just couldn't reconcile how a "supposedly" loving and caring God, as we read about in the Bible, could allow so much suffering and evil in the world. This eventually led him to the conclusion that the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible does not exist.
Dr. Ehrman grew up in Kansas in the mid 1950's. His family faithfully attended an Episcopal Church in Lawrence, Kansas. During his high school years, Bart had a "born again" experience and began attending Youth for Christ. Bruce, a leader of the local Youth for Christ group, help to lead Bart into a "born again experience.1
Bart was very impressed by Bruce's knowledge of the Bible and decided he wanted to be a serious student of Bible.
With that desire deep in his heart, young Bart Ehrman went to Moody Bible Institute in fall of 1973. During his time at Moody, Bart took traditional Bible courses such as biblical and systematic theology.
At the time, Moody Bible Institute had a strong emphasis on a particular type of Biblical inerrancy called "verbal plenary inspiration." This view taught that there were no errors in the original manuscripts.
College student Bart Ehrman soon discovered that we don't have any of the original manuscripts of the New Testament. He then began to wonder about the accuracy of the texts we do have. Did the scribes who copied the New Testament manuscripts change, alter or distorted the written texts? Whether intentional or unintentional, could scribal errors and changes, made for theological or political reasons, have corrupted the New Testament texts? These questions concerning the transmission of the New Testament manuscripts led Bart to take additional courses at Moody on textual criticism.3
After graduating from Moody in 1976, Ehrman had an even stronger desire to be a Christian scholar. Despite his doubts, he continue his education at Wheaton College, a major American Evangelical college.4 While at Wheaton, he took courses in New Testament Greek. During his time there, he increasingly questioned the relevancy of believing in Biblical inerrancy. We don't have the original manuscripts of the New Testament. Scraps do exist from the late first and second century, but the only complete manuscript copies we have were supposedly written hundreds of years later.5
After graduating from Wheaton with these questions still in his mind, Ehrman went on to Princeton Theological Seminary where he studied under the renowned Greek scholar, Bruce Metzger. He took even more courses in Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek. The deeper he went into these courses, the further Bart's confidence in the doctrine of inerrancy continued to erode.6
Dr. Ehrman's total abandonment of his view of biblical inerrancy came when he did a term paper on a passage from the Gospel of Mark for his professor, Cullen Story. For his term paper, Ehrman looked at the story 2 where Jesus has a confrontation with the Pharisees over the disciples picking the heads of grain on the Sabbath. In the course of the confrontation, Jesus justifies his actions by appealing to the Old Testament. When David was on the run from King Saul, David went into the temple to eat the consecrated bread "when Abiathar was the High Priest." Bart then looked at 1 Samuel 21:1-6 where it describes that during this very time when David ate the sacred bread in the temple, it was Abimelech who was the High Priest. Abimelech was the father of Abiathar. So Dr Ehrman started to wonder if the author of the Gospel of Mark made a mistake. Was the text in error by recounting the wrong man as high priest when David ate the consecrated bread?
When he handed in his term paper to Dr. Story, Dr. Story agreed with Dr. Ehrman by writing a one liner on his term paper that said, "Maybe Mark did make a mistake".7
Everything went downhill for Ehrman from this point on. He found more supposed errors in the Bible. By the time he left Princeton Theological Seminary, he completely rejected the evangelical doctrine of Biblical inerrancy.8
Hal Lindsay's book "The Late Great Planet Earth" also contributed to Bart's erosion of confidence in Biblical inerrancy. One of Lindsay's assertions in the book is that Jesus would return in 1988, a generation of forty years after the modern rebirth of Israel in 1948. When Jesus did not return in 1988, that only confirmed Bart's doubts about the inerrancy of the Bible.9
Dr. Ehrman states that his problems with the Bible led him away from his evangelical beliefs that he had learned in Moody and Wheaton. Though he had abandoned his evangelical beliefs about the Bible, yet he still considered himself a "liberal Christian."
It was not the problem of missing original New Testament texts, it was the problem of evil and suffering that led Dr. Ehrman to totally reject Christianity. He states that the facts of scripture do not match with the hard facts of life. Given all the suffering and pain in the world, the God of goodness and love that Bible proclaims simply does not exist.10
Now that we've looked at the reasons for Dr. Ehrman's presuppositions about the bible, in the next two articles Dr. Ehrman's agnosticism will be answered. Then Dr. Ehrman's atheism concerning the God of the Bible will be examined: Can he justify his atheism concerning the God of the Bible based on the suffering and pain in the world?

From A Priori Knowledge and Miracles
by IBD Vice President Matthew J Coombe
Essentially there are two types of knowledge,1 a priori ("from the earlier" or "before the senses") and a posteriori ("from the later" or "after the senses"). The distinction between the two types is purely epistemic in nature. The most telling difference between the two, as described by Kant is, a priori knowledge is independent of all experience,2 and includes propositions such as, "all bachelors are unmarried males," and "7 + 5 = 12.3"
Classically, many philosophers have accepted a priori knowledge but recently it has received much scrutiny and even some have attempted to reduce it to pure linguistics.4 The skepticism results from the failure to distinguish a clear and coherent account of the classical conception of a priori knowledge from a general theory of knowledge.5 To properly distinguish and apply a priori knowledge one must ask two questions, 1) what is the primary target of the analysis? 2) Does the analysis of the primary target presuppose a general theory of knowledge?6 If the target requires a theory of knowledge then it cannot be considered truly a priori. Some epistemologists, such as Phillip Kitcher, not only argue that propositions have no intrinsic meaning,7 (and therefore there is no a priori knowledge) but that a priori knowledge is experientially indefensible8 and therefore cannot even be proven at all.
A priori knowledge, if it exists, must be known independently of experience. Several issues are quickly brought to attention, is it possible for man to have knowledge independent of experience? If the answer is "no" then Hume's a priori rejection fails. If the answer is "yes," then it must be discerned if the type of knowledge utilized by Hume is indeed free from experience. So then, the issue before the house is. is knowledge contingent upon experience? If one incidence of knowledge can be determined to have occurred apart from experience then a priori knowledge is possible.
Consider a primitive alien planet. On this planet, Gog and Harry (two aliens) are looking at a pile of roldals (the closest equivalent to these on earth are apples). Gog places two roldals on the ground; though to delineate "two" Gog does not utilize the word "two" but rather "glue." Likewise Harry grabs "glue roldals" and places them next to Gog's roldals. Now they want to figure out how many they would have if they were to combine them. They designate a stick to be a "+" sign and a rock to be an "=" sign. Further they decide the number four shall be known as "horse." Therefore: glue roldals, stick, glue roldals, rock, horse roldals— two plus two equals four.
Did experience aid in the formulation of the previous conclusion? It would seem that certain mathematical claims are universal and necessary. James R. Beebe examines if things like mathematical proofs are indeed "putatively a priori necessities.9" Beebe argues that due to pervasive nature of empiricism (or rather a posteriori knowledge) there exists an inherent tendency away from a priori knowledge;10 this tendency is not prima facie against a priori knowledge but rather for a posteriori. Beebe's thesis is to investigate if this penchant is indeed justified. Instead of focusing on basic principles, most of the skepticism applied to a priori knowledge is concerned with impractical linguistic word play syllogisms. For example: 1) If I know that 2 + 3 = 5, then I know that I am not involved in any subject whose a priori beliefs are massively and constantly in error due to skeptical circumstances. 2) I do not know whether or not I am affected by such skeptical circumstances. 3) Therefore, I do not know that 2 + 3 = 5.11 Beebe sites Wittgenstein and Descartes as those who pose the type of skeptical circumstances that prevent such knowledge. For example, Descartes argues in his Third Meditation that it could be possible for God or some deity to deceive every instance of reliable knowledge12 (such is the basis for the previously mentioned syllogism). The problem is, even the proposition, "I should be skeptical concerning a priori knowledge because my environment could be fake, contrived, and/or deceiving," is in fact an instance of a priori knowledge. Further, even if the most hyper-skeptical environment existed, it would in no way negate the veracity concerning mathematical principles. Consider the aliens once again, but in this instance suppose that they are in a completely computer generated environment and everything around them is fake. Even in this skeptical and false world, the number of rodals, when properly added, will always remain the same. Ultimately, Descartes viewed hyper-skepticism as a menace that restricted intellectual discourse and argued that it was not a useful epistemic tool.13
To determine the connection between a priori knowledge and miracles we need to question the relationship between "before the senses" knowledge and experience. While a priori knowledge can be independent of a hyper-skeptical world, this in no way ensures a unilateral connection between the two—a connection would be required if miracles were either to be accepted or objected via a priori knowledge. Confusion surround the nature of a priori thought further conflates the issue.
Merely because something is a priori, this does not entail that it must necessarily be devoid of any a posteriori components in order for it to remain an instance of a priori knowledge. For example, Plantinga argues that if there were five passengers in a car crash and two survived the crashed, we can know the number who died in the crash a priori is three. The a posteriori knowledge factors in when one considers, what a car crash is or what it means to "survive," or "die." Since the combination of the two types of knowledge do not contradict each other, then the combination in no way invalidates the instance of a priori knowledge.14
Consider four scenarios, in each of these scenarios there is a car crash of which there are five passengers, three victims, and two survivors. In the first scenario, the accident took place in a movie, the second was reported on during the evening news, the third was told from a friend who had witnessed the accident (though this friend is known for embellishing) and you witnessed the fourth scenario. The ability to obtain a priori knowledge in each of these scenarios is in one sense contingent upon the a posteriori and in the other independent from it. The veracity of a priori knowledge (in these incidences) is dependent on the efficacy and types of source accounts and evidence.15 In the movie example, the a priori knowledge is sound, but the event is not actual. The other three scenarios likewise result in consistent a priori knowledge iff the sources are accurate.
Therefore, a priori knowledge can be predicated on a posteriori knowledge and the burden of proof in these scenarios is on the a posteriori and not the a priori.16 Further, there is a link between experience and a priori knowledge. This link is not necessary, but when it does occur the veracity of the a priori knowledge is not contingent upon itself, but rather the veracity of the a posteriori presuppositions and justification is the contingency. Thus, to question certain instances of a priori knowledge is merely to question the justification for the a posteriori. It is because of this justification requirement that some epistemologists have argued for the superiority of a priori knowledge.1718
The final question concerning the link between the two types of knowledge is to answer the question if experientially justified a priori knowledge is capable of being defeasible or to question if it is able to be overturned. Epistemologist Joshua Thurow argues that if a priori knowledge is possible then it is defeasible by non-experiential evidence (due to its very nature). However, if it is defeasible by non-experiential justification then it would likewise be overturned by experiential evidence.19 This conclusion however seems unmerited. To determine if a priori knowledge is defeasible or not, the nature of the claims associated with it should be detailed to a further degree.
All necessary truths are incidences of a priori knowledge,20 but not all incidences of a priori knowledge are necessary. For example the law of excluded middle is a necessary truth that can be known a priori; it is necessarily the case that something cannot be both true and not true in the same sense at the same time and one is able to know this without examining anything in physical reality. For example, someone cannot rightly deduce, "I cannot know truth,21" because if true, her premise fails, and if false then truth can be known and would result in an instance of a priori knowledge. Further, this would be an example of an a priori truth that is also necessary.
Some a priori truths might be instances of knowledge but not necessarily true. The only types of a priori truths that are not necessarily true are those that are true by definition. "All bachelors are unmarried males," is driven by a definition that need not necessarily be true—there could be a possible sub-culture where "bachelor" means a newly married male. What makes such an instance actually a priori knowledge is because "all bachelors are unmarried males" is true by definition and therefore requires no research or experience—thus, a priori.
Some have attempted to reduce necessary truths to pure linguistics.22 But as argued concerning the example of necessarily or axiomatic truths (of which to deny is self-refuting) such examples cannot be reduced to pure linguistics. While some necessary truths can be reduced to tautologies, this by no means entails all necessary truths are reducible to merely linguistically significant statements.2324 Even Thurow eventually concedes that instances of necessary truths which are defeasible by experience are of the "true by definition" variety and therefore the linguistic factor could affect the truth value, but, iff the definition were equivocal.25
In conclusion, a priori truths can be necessary or true by definition and either can be justified depending on the usage or if is predicated on some a posteriori truth. Necessary a priori truths are irrefutable but are limited in scope. True by definition a priori truths are contingent upon language and in some cases limited by a posteriori foundations (such as the example of car accident). Even before examining Hume, it seems unlikely he would consider his objection as "necessary" therefore, if his objection has merit it would have to be a true by definition or a posteriori contingent a priori truth.

What is it?
The god-of-the-gaps fallacy is an argument commonly used to belittle faith. It is predicated on the notion that as our knowledge of the natural sciences increases, fewer supernaturally motivated conclusions about our universe will be necessary. In other words, God is only a placeholder explanation for phenomena until researchers discover the actual cause.
For example, modern man is well aware that lighting and thunder has nothing to do with angry deities; Instead, it is understood that it is actually an arc of electricity in the atmosphere. In the same way, modern man is also rightly skeptical of the conclusion that illness results from the anger of malevolent "spirits". Research has revealed the causes to be known bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other related things.
In the past, because god-of-the-gaps was utilized to explain what could not be understood, some theorize that there is a coming time when the "god" of the gaps will explain nothing. In other words, science will explain all of man's questions. Not only is this conclusion misguided but actually is utilizing the same logic it is attempting to decry.
Positive Arguments
The classical arguments for the existence of God (ontological, axiological, cosmological, teleological) are not negative arguments. They are not responses to unexplained phenomenon. Rather they are responses to what is known about the world.
For example, because we know all things which begin to exist need a cause, it is impossible for anything that began to exist to be self-caused; It follows then that everything from human consciousness to the universe would need a cause. Further, in all cases where something is caused, the producer of the cause must have certain features which enable it to be the cause the observed effect.
In the case of the universe, for example, such features must include: intelligence, consciousness, intentionality, and sufficient power. Thus, because of what we do know about the world, and how cause and effect works, the existence of God is not a lowest common denominator god-of-the-gaps response. Instead, is the best possible response to the data we have at hand.
Even if one argues that the existence of the universe is not restrained to the laws of causality, as some theoretical physicists do, believing that the universe is an anomaly of the "quantum vacuum" is still highly problematic. If as a recent paper from Japan asserts, the universe is indeed the result of such a rare occurrence as a the expansion of a quantum vacuum bubble, then one would have no justification for believing that such causation would be reasonably possible; Possibility does not necessitate reality. On the other hand, if one assumes it is possible, as the Japanese paper asserts, then why do we only see one universe? An even better question is: Why only universes?
Of course, if one wanted to be honest and go the route of saying that the universe is an anomaly of which we have only mathematical models, with little actual physical evidence, then that same person has just argued that we have no reason to believe the philosophical conclusions they create based on such a model. In reality, the only reason atheists argue that the universe doesn't need a cause is personal volition. Many argue this way because they personally, but not intellectually, prefer to believe in a religion which allows them to do as they wish. They do not like where alternative conclusions take them.
The god-of-the-gaps fallacy occurs when one goes from what he does not know to god (or some supernatural phenomenon). The apologist is not following that line of argumentation. Instead, he is going from what he does know (e.g. causality) to God. Basing conclusions on what is known and logical could hardly be considered the a god-of-the-gaps fallacy.
In an ironic twist, if one defends the belief that science will one day answer all of men's questions, that one should use the belief in science to fill in the "gaps", he is actually making the same argument … merely with a different conclusion. Scientific methodology and mathematical models become "gods-in-the-gap".
While the theist is charged with arguing from what is unknown to God, the skeptic is going from what is scientifically unknown (i.e. the answers to man's problems and questions) to no God; The justification or evidence is the same for both scenarios. Thus if a skeptic convinces someone that they are refuting a god-of-the-gaps fallacy, they may also refuting their own argument. Usually, they are making a straw man argument, because it does not accurately portray the evidence, the conclusion, or the methodology of the Christian.

TransNet Reports Profits for Fiscal 2011 First Quarter
BRANCHBURG, N.J., Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — TransNet Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: TRNT), a leading IPC and IT sales and service provider, today reported revenues of $6,025,249 and earnings of $40,249, or $0.01 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, ended September 30, 2010. This compares to $5,864,949 in revenue and $102,062, or $0.02 per share, in earnings for the same period last year.
Steven J Wilk, President, said, "We are pleased to report our profitability for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. In addition, our results for the fiscal 2011 quarter, compared to last year's quarter, include a 3% increase in total revenue, which includes a 10% increase in hardware revenue. The increase in hardware revenue is attributable to the resumed flow of product from Cisco Systems, Inc. and an increase in purchases from our public sector clients. During the second half of fiscal 2010, Cisco product constraints and a freeze on IT purchases from New Jersey governmental entities depressed our operations. We believe these two obstacles are in the past, and our current level of open orders and our outstanding proposals and quotes are our foundation as we look forward to growth. In addition, our plans for growth include the replacement of subcontracted services with TransNet branded services. As we make this shift, we reduced use of subcontractors during the quarter.
"For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, our continued expense reduction efforts cut our SG&A expenses by 4% over the same period last year. Based on recent initiatives, we estimate our SG&A expenses for fiscal 2011 will be at least 10% lower than fiscal 2010 levels and approximately 20% lower than fiscal 2009 levels.
"We believe that our Unified Communication and physical security practice are and will continue to be in demand from existing and potential clients because these products and related services offer measurable returns on investments as well as enhanced safety to students, faculty, and employees. We have large proposals outstanding for these products and services, and we anticipate closing a number of them in the December 2010 quarter.
"Supplementing these growth areas is increased activity of our newer area of operations – our IT staffing placement and consulting practice. While some businesses wish to increase the number of full-time IT and system engineering employees, we are also satisfying an increased demand of part-time workers for both short-term and long-term IT projects. We anticipate double-digit growth in this practice of the remainder of the fiscal year."

CHI Original Flat Iron 1"

Ships within 24 hours
Achieve professional results. This original CHI 1 inch flat iron will straighten, curl and flip your hair.

Not What It Used To Be
I used to LOVE my CHI when they were in their prime they were a great product. After mine broke less than a year ago I bought a new ULTRA CHI and spent $102 on it thinking "you get what you pay for" but that was not the case. In less than a year it stopped working. I spent $30 sending it back and getting a new one,(they sent me the less expensive, regular CHI claiming they "didn't have ULTRA CHI in the warehouse") in less than 2 months one of my plates stopped heating, causing it to over heat the other side and smell burnt. Since it was less than 90 days, they shipped me a new one using their shipping label, great, right? Only to find 2 weeks later the SAME THING happened to the "new one". Not only that, but I sent it to them after waiting 2 weeks for them to email me the shipping label. After I got it, it took me less than 24 hours to send it back. I tracked the package, they got it 2 days later, I called them a week after I know they received it and they told me I had to wait 10-14 business days AFTER they receive mine (long enough to try and refurbish mine, I'm sure). I got it a few days after they waited their 14 days, 2 weeks later, BAM! Stopped working. I'm sick of it, I will be switching to ION Hot tools.

Great Product... For The Few Months It Lasts
The straightener itself is amazing and leaves your hair soft and shiny. However, the cord is a piece of junk. I have had two Chi straighteners, and within a few months, both cords were super touchy, and I had to hold it a certain way to get the straightener to turn on. After a few more months, I couldn't get it to turn on at all. The cord is 4 feet long, so you have to wind it up, but bending like this will only make it crap out sooner. Not very well thought out.

Dont Buy This!
I used to use the cheap flat irons on my hair that i would from a local drug store, so i wanted to try out a "High Quality" flat iron so i purchased this flat iron and I hate it, it gives me split ends, makes my fly away super noticable and it does not completely straighten my hair at the tips its still a bit curved. DONT BUY THIS IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR HAIR!

Best Flat Iron
I had a Chi flat iron for over 5 years and it was great. Unfortunately, the plug cracked and I couldn't get it fixed. I tried a different flat iron at first-even more expensive and thought it was ok, but not worth the money. There are some Chi flat irons that are less expensive, but don't work too well. This Chi is sturdy and I LOVE!! It is more expensive than the other CHi flat irons, but worth it. I got a discount on this website too! BONUS!
I would definitely recomend this flat iron. I have medium length hair, wavy, but frizzy and it straightens without frying.

It Would Be Okay If It Was Half The Price
I bought this flat iron at Ulta a few years back and ended up giving it away to a friend about a year later.
When I first straightened my hair with it it was very nice. I got super soft, super straight hair and my only complaint was that it often snagged on my hair and completely sucked all the volume out of my hair. No matter how many different ways I tried to straighten my hair it always ended up super flat! (which doesn't look good on my found face)
The real problems came about about 4 months later. After 4 months, no matter what product I put in my hair to try and tame it, (and I bought everything from cheap drug store brands to top of the line hair serums) it would make my hair super static-y and frizzy! I had flyaways like no tomorrow and would walk around with tons of little hairs sticking straight up. And let's not even talk about how crazy my hair got on humid days!
Plus about 5 months in I dropped the darn thing and it immediately cracked and started taking longer to heat up. Absolutely no durability.
Honestly, if this thing was around $30-40 I might say that it is worth it. But it's too expensive for a flat iron who's good results don't last more than a few months and with 0 durability. I completely gave up on this thing about 6 months in and invested in a different straighter (GHD) that I have been in love with since.

Short Life Span
I have used chi flat irons for 5-6 years now. I have gone through a total 5 flat irons, because eventually the electricity cord always stops working. I love the results in my hair from using chi, but no need to buy one if this will going to keep continuing. If you're considering buying this product I suggest yes if you want a quality results, but consider having to buy another flat iron within a year too.

Love This Flat Iron
I have thick, wavy hair that I never used to be able to get straight, until I bought this flat iron. It leaves my hair feeling smooth and perfectly straight, even when I have gone to bed with it wet and it is crazy curly in the morning! I love it, will never switch.

Loved, But Doesn't Last Long
When I got the straightener, it worked great and I fell in love with it. I've been using it for about a year and recently, it stopped working. I still do my hair with it, but its EXTREMELY difficult. I have to press extremely hard and have to go over my hair many times to get it to look good. I have extremely curly hair and so does my sister and we use it each day. Also, the yellow coating on the plates has rubbed off. Since we both have thick and curly hair, we got good use out of it, but I wish it would last a little bit longer. Since we need to still do our hair, we just bought the GHD candy collection flat iron. It is said to last 6 to 10 years. I hope it does better then the CHI. I don't think I will repurchase a CHI for a while. Overall, its a good straightener until you use it for about a year. Hope this helped!:)

Matt Lister named Regional Sales Director for Stand-Up MRI of SWFL
Matt Lister from Naples has been named the Regional Sales Director for Stand-Up MRI of SWFL. Stand-Up MRI has been in Naples for over 4 years and is the only MRI unit of its kind on the West Coast of Florida. The unique top and front open design of the Stand-Up MRI enables it to scan patients in any position, not just in the lying down position, which is the position that all other kinds of MRIs require patients to be in. The Stand-Up MRI can scan patients in whatever their positions of pain or other symptoms may be sitting, standing, bending or lying down. It's the only MRI that can provide pictures of the spine and joints in their normal weight-bearing states, such as bending or standing. This unique ability enables it to detect problems that are underestimated or completely missed by other kinds of MRIs and is preferred by claustrophobic patients due to its totally open design. You can have an MRI and watch a Big screen TV in front of you.

Now that I know I can officially have a natural childbirth, I am going all out on my research! I just finished watching "The Business of Being Born" and it really opened my eyes to a lot of different things that I did not think of before. One of the thing that I had a question about it hospital natural births... I want to know how many of you women have done this in the hospital? How were you treated? Did they try to push meds on you despite your wishes? Overall how was the hospital experience?
I am going natural, I want to do it in a hospital just in case but most information I find is on homebirths which I am not going to do. So any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Well, if these aren't the best Alessandra Ambrosio bikini pictures I've ever seen, I don't know what are. Because if there's only thing about Alessandra Ambrosio that's perfect (even though there's much more than one thing) it's her ass. And here's Alessandra Ambrosio's ass from every possible angle.

Artist's Impression of Corot-9b
March 21, 2010
This artist's impression shows the transiting exoplanet Corot-9b. Discovered by combining observations from the CoRoT satellite and the ESO HARPS instrument, Corot-9b is the first "normal†exoplanet that can be studied in great detail. This planet has the size of Jupiter and an orbit similar to that of Mercury. It orbits a star similar to the Sun located 1500 light-years away from Earth towards the constellation of Serpens (the Snake). Corot-9b passes in front of its host star every 95 days, as seen from Earth. This "transit†lasts for about 8 hours. Like our own giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, the planet is mostly made of hydrogen and helium, and it may contain up to 20 Earth masses of other elements, including water and rock at high temperatures and pressures.

As more and more families across America are affected by Alzheimer's disease, many teenagers as well are becoming aware of this heartbreaking brain disease - from personal experiences in their own families, watching friends and neighbors or involvement in community service.
Recognizing this, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA), a national nonprofit organization, has created a division specifically for teens, AFA Teens. Its goals include raising awareness among teenagers and the general public about Alzheimer's disease and related dementias; providing education, counseling and support to young family members; enabling teens to share feelings with other teens and experts; and referring teens and their family members to supportive services.
In a further effort to provide an outlet for teenagers to think creatively about Alzheimer's disease and to engage the younger generation in this cause, AFA offers the AFA Teens for Alzheimer's Awareness College Scholarship. AFA will award $5,000 to the grand prize winner and $2,500 to the first runner-up, a $1,000 scholarship to the second runner-up and seven $500 scholarships for Honorable Mention.

Here at Scholarships.com, we make a point to advocate the importance of funding your college education the right way – for free! – and while financing your higher education solely from scholarships is an amazing feat, there is a factor to consider: scholarship displacement.
If you don't know what scholarship displacement is, you're not alone. Believe it or not, winning a scholarship may not be the end-all be-all when it comes to paying for school because they can complicate the financial aid package offered by your intended university. Why? When a student wins a scholarship, the college may reduce the student's need-based financial aid package to compensate. For example, say a university offers a student a $15,000 grant and an additional $15,000 loan to cover the cost of attending. If the student were then to win a scholarship for $15,000, the college could retract its $15,000 grant. Colleges call this an over-award and the scholarship providers call it displacement.
Although this may seem discouraging, it shouldn't dissuade you from applying to scholarships altogether. Instead, do your homework, speak with your admissions counselor and know where your intended college stands when it comes to their scholarship policies. If you're brining a lot of scholarship dollars to the table, you have options. Every college is different and has their own guidelines when it comes to outside scholarships. If one university doesn't allow you to put those scholarship dollars to other costs – loans, books, room and board, etc. – enroll at one that does. You could also enlist the help of the scholarship sponsor: Some scholarship providers may have a lot of clout with the college, especially if their scholars make up millions of dollars of funding to the college.
If you have any additional questions about scholarship displacement, don't hesitate to ask us!

Writing poetry is all about self-expression: being heard and being understood. We want to know all about what kinds of connections drive you, as both a person and poet, to speak truth and raise your voice.
When you write, who are you hoping will hear it? Your parents, your siblings, your classmates and friends? People from your past, or people you haven't met yet? Do you write to forge new connections, or strengthen ones you've already got? To give yourself closure? To ask for help you need, or maybe to help somebody else? You might write without a specific person in mind – or you may just write just for yourself! No matter who you hope will hear you, write a poem, in any form or style you choose.
Power Poetry is accepting entries through September 8th. If you're interested in learning more about this or other scholarship opportunities, conduct a free scholarship search today!

Half term starts today. It's pouring with rain. :rolleyes008:
Half term starts today. It's pouring with rain. :rolleyes008:
my day has started horribly and not even dressed for work yet............oh joy :(
Lovely day here but going to pour tomorrow.
Extra hours sleep on Saturday night though!!!
Not if you own a dog. :rolleyes008:Originally Posted by Poohtle, post: 65447
My lunchtime yesterday at school was interesting. Year 2 - all ate their lunch nice and quietly except 2 girls at the front who practically came to blows over the placing of a bag of Hula Hoops. And when they got outside one girl spat in the other girl's face. Where do 7 year old girls learn to spit? I had to report that one to the class teacher.
Steven's class came out while I was on playground duty and they practically mobbed me. Steven missed lunch play yesterday for his piano lesson but I've checked and that only happens once a month and he said he doesn't mind and he wants to learn piano properly. His teacher makes sure he gets time to eat his lunch properly too. :)
He also wants to try karate again after half term.
It was a glorious day here in sunny Brisbane!
Just waiting for DH to get home - he had to work late so hopefully only about another 1/2 or so.
And it's the first weekend in what seems like ages that I am not on call for work! Yay!
Catching up with my Mum and Dad tomorrow for the first time since we got back from Japan/Florida - just spent some time tidying up the photos and videos - they might almost be in a fit state to start my trip report.
Next trip - Bali! (March 2015)
I've just been into school on an inset day. Anyone who thinks these days are just a staff get together for a bit of team bonding is soooooooooo mistaken. I couldn't believe all the work going on in there. Got out quick in case I got roped in.
Been to Asda to get Steven a winter coat - £6! :D
Somehow came out with £30 worth of other stuff that we couldn't live without though.
It's lovely and sunny here today, but it's supposed to cloud over later today.
I thought there were a lot of children not at school I guess half term has started early here as well
We were supposed to be going to see The Hoosiers tonight but I've torn something in my knee so I can't bend it properly :( So that's £35 wasted :sigh;
The good news though is that Chris has the day off tomorrow :207:
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Our O2 Mobile Broadband Review
Mobile broadband keeps you online when you are out and about; you get a dongle preloaded with a monthly data cap, and you get surprisingly fast speeds considering you aren't using a fixed home connection. Several providers offer mobile broadband, and the technology continues to prove popular.
O2 has a few different mobile broadband packages available, with varying contract lengths and download caps. As you are using a dongle, the caps will be lower than the generous ones offered with home broadband, but this is because mobile broadband is not designed to be your sole web connection.
You certainly wouldn't rely on mobile broadband for downloading movies and music, as you don't have enough usage, but the O2 mobile broadband dongles are great for connecting on the move or out and about. You'll also find the prices are very low, and you don't have that added monthly cost of a landline.

O2 Mobile Broadband User Reviews
O2 Mobile Broadband is brilliant
I am really enjoying using O2 Mobile Broadband and I am receiving excellent download speeds. The dongle is really easy to use and very handy when you can't connect to the internet any other way. I recommend anyone considering mobile broadband to go with O2.
Friendly customer services
When I received my dongle, I had no idea how to use it. When I rung customer services, the friendly person over the phone explained to me how it works and what I should do. Turns out I was over-complicating it and it is in fact very easy to use mobile broadband.
Quick connection
O2 is a great provider for mobile broadband. I like to browse the web when I'm in a coffee shop and a dongle gave me better download speeds than the shop's Wi-Fi. The contracts are short-term, with a generous allowance.
Short-term contract is ideal
I took a one-month mobile broadband contract with O2 and I was very happy with the service. I knew nothing about dongles and the person over the phone was happy to talk me through how it all works. Although I now have fixed-line broadband, a dongle is excellent as a temporary solution.

Like any good fish story the burnt tree at the Grand is getting larger. This from the Bussiness Weekly on line. "In the wee hours of Dec. 28, John Wookey was awakened by fire alarms at Disneyland's (NYSEIS - News) Grand Californian Hotel. A six-story plastic Christmas tree had caught fire and, as smoke filled the air, Wookey and his wife bundled up their three kids and hustled them outside." The whole story is at http://news.yahoo.com/s/bw/20060113/bs_bw/b3968086
I can't wait to see the six story tree next year!http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/imag...es/biggrin.gif
