Dr. Ravi Zacharias came and gave a lecture last Thursday here in Anchorage. It was an outstanding 2 hours...I need to re-listen to the CD just to absorb it all. As if the privilege of sitting for one of his lectures wasn't enough, we also had the wonderful pleasure of actually meeting him! God is GOOD! Dr. Zacharias is truly one of the most kind people I have ever met and there is absolutely no questioning his intelligence. He defends Christianity through intellect and critical thinking against the crushing tide of an increasingly hostile culture who believes Christianity is for the weak-minded, and he does it brilliantly! He is absolutely anointed in his ministry and I pray God continues to bless him.
I got this from his website...unsure if it is just an article, or an excerpt from his book The End of Reason. Either way - "In an attempt to escape what they call the contradiction between a good God and a world of evil, atheists try to dance around the reality of a moral law (and hence, a moral law giver) by introducing terms like 'evolutionary ethics'. The one who raises the question against God in effect plays God while denying He exists. Now one may wonder: why do you actually need a moral law giver if you have a moral law? The answer is because the questioner and the issue he or she questions always involve the essential value of a person. You can never talk of morality in abstraction. Persons are implicit to the question and the object of the question. In a nutshell, positing a moral law without a moral law giver would be equivalent to raising the question of evil without a questioner. So you cannot have a moral law unless the moral law itself is intrinsically woven into personhood, which means it demands an intrinsically worthy person if the moral law itself is valued. And that person can only be God."
