THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED – sorry all! We are working with the organisers to reschedule it (apparently something went wrong with the on campus promotion).
Matt is speaking on the topic “Is belief in God rational when you can’t prove that God exists?” at 12pm, Thursday 5 August in the Gold Lecture Theatre on the Auckland Unitec campus on Carrington Rd. The talk will be based on the Showing Christianity is True essay Matt had published as part of Apologetics 315’s essay series, “Why is Christianity True?”
The format is a talk delivered followed by Q&A. The event is open to the public and entry is free.

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
Neither Matt or I made the poster.
I have emailed them to ask for a new flyer.
Ok I have now edited the image to remove the offending line. Problem solved. (And Matt will be happy as he won’t have liked that line for reasons other than punctuation and spelling)
You may or may not be one of the WORLD’S top philosophers… but whoever made this could do with some lessons on how to use punctuation!
And spelling…. i see you are not a philosopher after all but a philsopher – a wise Philip? And since Philip derives from lover of horses.. perhaps Wise-ass?
Yes I know it says that in your post.. which is why I said “whoever made this”… shame really. Makes it look a lot less professional.
Shame it’s on at this time, as I’m working so can’t attend
Mind you, I think I already know the answer!
But don’t take my word for it, watch for yourself! Enjoy!!!

Apologies: Must have been a long week as I still posted the wrong link, so feel free to delete the other two if you wish. This one is the correct one. (I hope I got it right this time!!!)
Much better…
Indeed Richard. You should see our personal calendar as it has all the talks on it that are not open to the public – small home groups, study groups, home education groups, university student groups and so on. Then there are the media things that crop up from time to time.
Únitec is my place of study. I shall try to attend, this sounds really interesting, hope to be there.
Matt is certainly getting around these days.
I thought that was dirt on my screen… apparently not! Maybe when I was editing out that strip of extra text we were talking about above I inadvertantly clicked on something…. I will fix it now!
What’s with the bullet hole at the top of the G?
