Well Bill, I'm not sure why the youth or fro dilemma keeps coming up and we'll define

it in a moment even though we've done many podcasts on it.

It's very often the go-to argument against the moral argument for God.

Do you think the youth or fro dilemma has been sufficiently answered by Christian philosophers?

Oh yes, Kevin, just repeatedly I don't think frankly there's any life in this dilemma left

it's just beating a dead horse, but people like Jonathan Pierce, I think frankly are not

very well informed about it.

That is the author of this article, Jonathan MS Pierce, a tippling philosopher blog, Morality,

the youth or fro dilemma, and William Lane Craig.

He begins the article, William Lane Craig, a noted Christian apologist, uses the argument

from morality as one of his arguments for the existence of God.

This is probably one of the weakest arguments put forward by apologists for the existence

of God as the following article will illustrate.

Yeah, we'll let our listeners judge whether they think his article illustrates that, but

I want to draw attention to a couple of red flags here that ought to alert our listeners

whenever they encounter this sort of dismissive attitude.

It is not an argument that is simply put forward by apologists.

This has been an argument that for centuries have been defended by some of the greatest

minds in Western world history, and on the contemporary scene it's defended by people

like Robert Adams in what has become a modern classic finite and infinite goods.

In connection with my systematic philosophical theology where I'm now writing on the goodness

of God, I reread Adam's book and it's no wonder this has become a classic in our day.
