In today’s episode of the Alex McFarland Show, he addresses point by point the common fallacies of unbelief based on a viral TikTok video. In this video, a young woman is saying that she wants to go to hell, she can’t wait until she gets there and Christians should stop trying to reach her to change her mind. Social Media is a platform where people use it to share their opinions and attitudes without a burden of proof to what is being said or stated. What is a burden of proof? Does God exist? How did life begin? What is the origin of matter? Some of the most brilliant minds in history, past and present, have been convinced that there must be a God based on the ambiguity of moral knowledge. Evolution and materialism have no answer for the reality of conscience and how we have this moral code written on our hearts. Alex answers these questions and more to help listeners get a better understanding of the common fallacies of unbelief.Common Fallacies of Unbelief:1. Appeal to Authority2. Straw Man Fallacy .3.

When sharing the gospel message with an atheist, it’s not uncommon to be met with pushback from an individual who claims to believe in science, not faith. The irony is, however, that the science almost always points back to God and the rest often varies, depending on the agenda of the scientist behind it. With a worldview that’s easily deflated by facts, why aren’t atheists easily convinced of ultimate truth? On today’s episode of the Alex McFarland Show, Alex is joined by fellow apologist, Jay Seegert. Jay explains why the issue of disbelief is often a matter of the heart, not facts or apologetics. With that in mind, Jay equips listeners with tools to share their faith in a way that’s more impactful.
