The religion of humanism is often veiled behind various masks such as "science" and "civil rights." Unmasking Humanism unveils these masks. Blog posts focus on debate transcripts between Kevin (Christ-follower) and various humanists on topics such as origins and morality.

No More Than "Just Faith"?

Does the biblical worldview involve “…no more than just faith itself”? In other words, do Christians have an anti-scientific, blind faith? Moreover, since “science” has helped provide economic abundance and luxury, does that mean that we must trust the “science” of evolution? Humanist JC followed up from Part 2 of the Bird Evolution debate with those particular claims. Part 3 of 7 of the Bird Evolution Debate is presented in the transcript below, which includes JC’s afore

An Evolutionist's "Biggest Brake"

While the evolutionary worldview can supplant a biblical worldview in a person’s heart and mind, the Word of God reveals the deep, underlying motivation behind such a belief that denies the God of the Bible. After challenging humanist JC with important questions in Part 1 of 7 of the Bird Evolution Debate, he shared his “biggest brake” with “religion.” See the transcript below for Part 2 of 7 of Bird Evolution Debate. Names are abbreviated for privacy and brevity. JC: Kevin,

Transitional Forms and Probabilities

Humanists often confuse verifiable observational science with unverifiable historical science. In the Evolution as “Science” Debate, I asked the humanists/evolutionists to provide observable examples of biological evolution in action. None of them could provide adequate examples, and the vast majority of them tried to provide supposed “evidences” that are not testable and repeatable. The debate transcript in my previous blog post provides an example of this. Humanist MR

Fossil Record Predictions

Upon initiation of an online debate that I dubbed the “Evolution as ‘Science’ Debate,” I asked humanists on the Friendly Atheist Facebook page to provide observable examples of biological evolution, such as an originally-blind organism developing eyesight. There were very few humanists that understood my request for observable evidence, as most of them provided evidences that fall into the realm of historical science.[i] One particular humanist, MR, provided common claims a

Faith-Based "Evidence" for Evolution

As shared in Part 1 of the Evolution as “Science” Debate transcript, I challenged humanists on the Friendly Atheist Facebook page to provide observable examples of organisms that add brand new genetic information and functionality, such as an originally-blind organism evolving eyesight. Numerous humanists responded. In Part 1, Humanists CB and AC tried to respond with claimed evidences, but both claims were easily refuted. Humanist RW only responded with ad hominem attacks

Evolution as "Science" Debate Intro

This was the most time-consuming debate I ever engaged in to-date…twenty-six humanists versus one Christian. The debate stretched over the course of at least one week. Even with the many hours of crafting responses, I believe the time and effort was well worth it, given the direct engagement with two of the twenty-six who were willing to have respectful dialogue. The debate took place on the Friendly Atheist Facebook page, which is a common venue for me, as one can see from

Flood Morality Debate: The Uniformity of Nature

Some people try to attack the character of God by judging His judgments, and one of those judgments is the Global Flood of Genesis. What I call the "Flood Morality Debate" is a discussion about this particular topic that took place on a comment thread attached to one of Ray Comfort’s Facebook posts. KD, presumably a non-secular humanist, attacked God’s judgment as immoral and “insanity.” I jumped in the discussion thread and asked KD to reveal the standard of judgment that

Dismantling a Claim: Evolution is Like Gravity

Have you ever heard the statement “Evolution is a theory, but so is gravity”? I engaged in a Facebook debate recently on evangelist Ray Comfort’s Facebook page where one apparent atheist made this claim. Ray Comfort’s Facebook page is often a hotbed for passionate debate between Christians and (mostly) atheists. Ray shared an article about major expansions at the Ark Encounter and said “And atheists said it would be a flop.” One apparent atheist commented and claimed that

Humanism as Religion: What can be "Scrapped"?

The last interaction in the Humanism as Religion debate was actually a continuation of a discussion that occurred earlier in the thread. I captured this particular discussion in Part 3 of the Humanism as Religion debate. Recall the following interaction between me and humanist PK: PK: Evolution is not a by product of religion like creationism and not associated with any religion. Given that atheists believe in it does not make it atheistic. Evolution is taught as a fundamen

Humanism as Religion, Including Evolution

There is a major deception in American culture that public schools are nonreligious. When tenets of Christianity were booted from the public school system decades ago, tenets of humanism filled the void. One of those tenets is the evolutionary worldview, including biological, geological, and cosmological evolution. The evolutionary worldview is a religious belief, but while it can be labeled as “science” in our culture, it wins a free pass for government endorsement. I ch

Humanism as Religion: The Default?

Humanists typically insist that their evolutionary worldview is based on “science,” and adamantly reject the hard truth that their worldview is based on faith. In Parts 2 and 3 of the Humanism as Religion debate, I repeatedly challenged humanists on the Friendly Atheist Facebook page to provide observable, repeatable, and testable examples of the following: 1. Life evolving from non-life. 2. “Upward” changes in the genotype and phenotype of an organism, such as an originally

Humanism as Religion: Fundamental Science?

As previously explained in Part 2 of the Humanism as Religion debate, the evolutionary worldview is dependent upon humanistic faith, not science. Yet, there is a huge deception in our culture that molecules-to-man evolution is based on observable, testable, and repeatable science. Humanists PK and JD claim that evolution is a “fundamental science” and “secure fact." I respond to these claims in Part 3 of 6 of the debate, shown below. As always, names are abbreviated for pr

Humanism as Religion: Testable Hypothesis

In Part 1 of the Humanism as Religion debate, I stated the case that the religion of humanism should be subject to the same limitations as other religions if it gets to enjoy the same perks. I pointed out the double standard that we currently experience in our culture: the Bible and its teachings, including biblical creation, are typically banned from public schools…yet, humanist beliefs are given a free pass, and the unverifiable evolutionary worldview is the standard teach

Vindication Debate: If Not Enlightened...

As shared in in my previous blog post, humanist JJ2 challenged me with the following comment: Kevin Hadsall, How is it possible for us humanists to get a clue as to the origin of god if not enlightened by the willfully ignorant, delusional, faith driven believers who cannot and have never provided one iota of empirical evidence? Science teaches that if you don't know the answer, keep working on it. Religion teaches that if you don't know the answer, god did it, so don't quest

BioLogos Debate: Invoking Galileo

In Parts 5 and 6 of this blog post series, I shared BioLogos’ attempt to answer my three original questions, and I also shared much of my rebuttal. This final post of the "BioLogos Debate" series captures the third and final part of my rebuttal, along with BioLogos’ brief response. Of those original questions, here is the third question that BioLogos attempts to answer, as shared in Part 1 of 7 of this series: 3. You equate “God’s book of nature” with God’s Word. How can we

BioLogos Debate: Scientific Consensus?

As discussed in my previous blog post, I engaged in a debate directly with the BioLogos Foundation Facebook page. My charge against the teachings of BioLogos is that they are not teaching observational science, but instead, they are trying to mix Christianity with the religion of Humanism. This lengthy debate with BioLogos, and one of their supporters, exposes their anti-biblical presuppositions. After an initial back-and-forth with BioLogos, one of their supporters jumped

The Hourglass Puzzle: A Parable

Andrew was no ordinary student. He was a critical thinker and often thought outside-the-box. Likewise, Dr. Origins was no ordinary geology professor. As a geologist at a Christian university, he can conduct research and experiments like any other geologist, but he often disagreed with his secular colleagues concerning the past. He spoke of two different kinds of science: observational science and historical science. Now, you might ask, what is observational science, and
