Nothing or Creator?
An animation badly done, poorly spoken and terribly outdated
Or...
A Universe From Nothing
A lecture on the current state of our understanding of the Universe and why the nothing we think we know is something out from which all we know can come.
Obviously a HUGE topic and one that takes an actual interest in, determination and time to wade through. Most I know are neither interested nor open minded enough to consider that Bronze Age reasonings might not be correct.
But cheap cartoons, badly done on such topics can never help the cause the proving religious perspectives in our day and age. Dr Thiel can't even get someone who can read their lines well or pronounce "big words".
Dave Pack, who has a certain charisma based in his dogmatism and serious demeanor got taken apart by Aron Ra, who took all the time necessary to refute Dave's outdated and inaccurate presentation.
Apostles, Priests, Evangelists, Pastors and the Self Appointed need to stick to what they think they know well, even if they actually don't that either. While speaking to the choir may give them the impression they know something, "A Universe from Nothing" might show them they know ...well....nothing!
Not for the faint hearted or easily offended, but Aron's Epilogue to Dave Pack's series on defending the indefensible out of date ideas and badly mixing science with religion, will ring true for to those so inclined.
Whether it be badly done animations or smartly done presentations, pious convictions based on marginal information gives religion yet another black eye and convinces no one of anything.

Simply to say that the Churches of God are going to need better, much better defenders of their faith than Dave Pack or Dr Robert Thiel. One of the lessons is probably going to be that they need to concentrate on their chosen field and not pretend they can wash away the scientific explanations for all that used to solely seem to rest on their shoulders to justify and explain. Because Bob's childish and poorly presented as well as Dave's spit and polished presentations will not, cannot and do not convince. The problem is also that one cannot defend the indefensible or refute the irrefutable anymore.
Dennis,
Pack and Thiel are poor apologists, but they aren't the only ones in the ACOGs who engage in the nonsense. CGI's Mike James recently posted a piece entitled "Archaeology Proves the Bible." Which, of course, it does not. I'm not sure, however, that a better class of apologists is needed. I endorse your last sentence. I think we need more folks that are willing to confront and deal with facts, instead of trying to explain them away or pretend they aren't facts.
The Demonic Duo: Aron Ra and David Pack
If Aron Ra is so smart, then why can't he find a better barber?
Even nature itself is crying out for him to find a better barber.
If David Pack is so smart, then why can't he find an exorcist and get cured?
All his victims are crying out for him to find an exorcist and get cured.
