Join us on Mission 17-15 as we explore argument and logic. What makes up an argument and what makes that argument logical or illogical? When atheist Richard Dawkins makes the argument that those who believe in God are delusional or insane is this a sound argument? Pascal's Wager is an argument from mathematical probability and philosophical reasoning that concludes the only sane position to hold is that God exists and that you should live in such a way; Pascal reasons that it is a no lose proposition. But there is one significant theological error in Pascal's reasoning: it is NOT the Gospel that is mighty to save. Listen in as we discuss more about argument, logic, reason, and rhetoric.
