In Two Minutes or Less: Plantinga on Naturalistic Evolution as a Self-Defeating Proposition

This has got to win a prize for elegant brevity. Speaking at NYU’s Veritas Forum, Alvin Plantinga explains how “Believing in naturalism and evolution is, you might say, self-defeating. It shoots itself in the foot. It’s self-referentially inconsistent, if you want a more philosophical-sounding name for it.”

And what do you know, in a nice coincidence, Dr. Plantinga will be speaking in Seattle next week. Co-sporonsored by Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture, the theme of the evening will be “Why Science Needs Religion: Science’s Untold Conflict with Atheism.” Save the date, it’s Friday, April 12, 2013! RSVP here for this FREE event.
