Media appearances

I make occasional forays out into the real world. Anthony Brabazon was kind enough to start me out with a guest slot on his blog. He's a Young Earth Creationist and does some street preaching in Temple Bar. He's a thoroughly nice chap and bought me tea and coffee. We discussed our differing views on the age of the earth.

I've done three shows for Premier Radio's Christian / non-Christian discussion show, Unbelievable?. Do check out their archives, they've had some great debates. Two of mine were discussions with Dr Craig Keener, author of a rather large compendium of modern-day miracles, on both the miracles of the New Testament and modern-day miracles. I've done two articles on those he's judged to be reliable witnesses of miracles and recommend having a read before listening. The first was the cash-hungry Dawit Molalegn, megapastor of the FBI miracle church, the second was on Reinhard Bonnke, who advocates burning non-Christian religious material in Muslim Nigeria, with predictable consequences.

My third show was with Andrew Wilson. He's the author of a book I referred to as disappointingly good, and I think he puts forward a fair and honest case for Christianity that starts a conversation, without trying to shut down the opposition. We discussed "What's wrong with the world?" I enjoyed our chat.

Atheist Ireland were kind enough to give me a slot at their monthly atheists in the pub gathering. (Come along! Full details on Facebook.) I gave a talk on what we can learn from street preachers. I was quite happy that the Q and A was about the same length as the talk itself. Great crowd, some really interesting questions.

My special thanks to Michael Nugent, chair of Atheist Ireland, for filming, editing, and uploading within twelve hours. I'm unsure when he sleeps!
