I can't blame Dr. Craig Blomberg for this vapid display of intellectual incompetence that ought to embarrass a high-school sophomore. He's a Christian, and he's spent a lifetime learning how to bullshit himself, and he probably can't tell the difference anymore. Commenter Russ nails this lightweight to the wall.
Please, gentle reader, keep this in mind: this is the best that the highest levels of Christian "scholarship" can do: A mishmash of Sunday-school platitudes riddled with logical and argumentative fallacies, lacking even the hint of a carefully reasoned thought.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.

I wonder if delusional fuckwits like that Blomberg dude ever have "reverse jesus" moments on their deathbeds, when they realize to their horror that they have devoted their entire lives to the propagation of arrant bullshit to the detriment of themselves and everyone around them?
ReplyDeleteWhat an appalling bad piece. His paragraph on the problem of evil was not just mistaken, it contained factually inaccurate information!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't finish reading the piece. He goes on for so long about how educated he is and all the books he's read, and then he makes the old argument from personal incredulity on altruism. Apparently he forgot to visit the biology section of those libraries. Drat, even my high school's AP bio course taught kin selection! The information is not that hard to find at all, and it's such an absolutely fascinating aspect of evolutionary biology, too--much better than that inane refrain, that god is the only possible explanation.
