(Podcast 11.22.17) Special Thanksgiving Podcast: Dino Deniers and the Illusion of God’s Silence

Dinosaur Skeleton.jpg.696x0 Q70 Crop Smart

Welcome to a special Thanksgiving podcast of Bellator Christi. This podcast will take the place of the regularly scheduled Friday podcast. Yes, the podcasts will normally be produced on Fridays from here on. Nevertheless, sometimes we encounter very strange worldviews that have the name “Christian” stamped on it. This is true of a bizarre movement instigated by Stonebridge, Massachusetts native Kristen Auclair. Auclair is the president of a group called “Christians Against Dinosaurs.” Does Auclair genuinely believe that dinosaurs didn’t exist and does she really support the Christian worldview? There are some reasons to doubt her claims. Does her video represent her true beliefs or is it merely a hoax? According to Auclair, there are 12,000 people following her group. So, should Christians deny the existence of dinosaurs? Find out why the existence of dinosaurs are completely compatible with the Christian worldview.

In addition, as we approach Thanksgiving, I understand that there are many people who are struggling with various issues. Even though the holiday season is meant to bring joy, it can be painful and lonely for many. Has God forgotten those who struggle during this season? Or, is God’s silence an illusion? We will discuss an article written by Gary Habermas in the book Come Let Us Reason: New Essays in Christian Apologetics as he suggests that the silence of God is merely a trick of our own minds. In reality, God never left us.
