Thinking Out Loud with Alan Shlemon

Alan explains why intelligent design is not another God-of-the-gaps explanation, but rather a scientific theory that provides the best explanation of the evidence.

Alan explains why there’s one apologetic topic that he gets more questions about and more challenges on than any other.

Alan responds to a popular online flowchart that claims Christians mistakenly oppose same-sex marriage because of the Bible’s view on homosexuality.

Alan gives highlights from his recent trip to Egypt where he trained Arab Christians in theology and apologetics.

Alan offers a simple question that neutralizes the claim that the problem of evil is evidence against God’s existence.

Alan offers a helpful question to answer the charge of same-sex marriage advocates that claim homosexuals are denied equal protection under the law.

Alan responds to an interesting defense for abortion. People argue that since a brain dead person is not alive, an unborn human embryo can’t be alive either because it doesn’t have a brain.

Alan responds to the challenge that abortion is permissible in cases where the fetus doesn’t have a brain.

Alan talks about taking Christians on the “Muslim Mission,” a 4-day trip to practice engaging Muslims on the street and in mosques.

Alan explains how he responds to Muslims when they claim that the Bible is corrupted.
