Is Science Mike a Good Apologist?

[Brother Jason]

Science Mike (Mike McHargue) is a dude (NOT a scientist) with a podcast called "Ask Science Mike". The format of his podcast is people ask him questions and he (sort of) answers them by way of referencing pop-science books he's read. Someone told me that they listen to it, so I listened to the first episode out of curiosity and I hated it. Apparently it's geared toward atheists and agnostics who are seeking spirituality (or something vague like that), and it's apparently quite popular. Do people here listen to it? What do you think? Is it a good witness to seeker-sensitive atheists, or just watered down scientism thinly masked as Christianity?

Here's a little sample of Science Mike. Not impressed.

The english starts at around 23 seconds.

I have never heard of him...but by the video...he is an enemy of the cross...and no friend of ours!!

I have never heard of him...but by the video...he is an enemy of the cross...and no friend of ours!!

is he the enemy? or is he the Jesus died for? what are you to do with him?

 

[Helen]

is he the enemy? or is he the Jesus died for? what are you to do with him?

I didn't say that he was 'my' enemy...I said that he is an enemy of the cross. Two different things.

I don't see in the book of Timothy that Paul tiptoed about..
He said:- " Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works." He didn't say;- "lets go and hug him."

Just saying.

GINOLJC, #1. how did he get the name science Mike in the first place?. #2. when he said "most or some of the events in Christ life have some scientific explanation", I had to laugh. because if some was scientific and the rest was not, a true scientist would not go through any explanation of what was not true in science. from that, one can see straight through as to what Mike here was trying to do here. simply put, what he couldn't explain, he couldn't believe in.

1 Timothy 6:20 "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called". so I'll avoid this.
