California Christian Apologetics Conference, 2006, Ergun Caner
Stand for Truth Ministries, California Christian Apologetics Conference, September 22, 2006 (link to partial video) (referring to the time stamps in the partial video) (0:10) I cannot be President. I came in 1978, when I was getting ready to go to college. Did he mean to say that he came in 1969, when he was…

Acar Martin Caner
Dr. Ergun Caner’s Father legally changed his name from Acar Martin Caner to Acar Mehmet Caner (link to evidence provided courtesy of Jason Smathers). I suspect that this was not the first name change in Acar’s life, since “Martin” sounds like a nod to Acar’s wife’s Swedish Lutheran heritage. Likewise, I cannot help but wonder…

September 13, 1969
On September 13, 1969, (according to this document that Jason Smathers has unearthed) Acar Caner, aged 35 (nearly 36), came to America. At that time, his eldest son (Ergun Caner) was only two years old, though nearly three. Both of these dates/ages are based on an assumption that the birthdays we’ve been given for Acar…

Zola Levitt – Has Anyone Let Him Know? (Answer: Too Late)
On June 22, 2010 (according to iTunes), Zola Levitt released a podcast (ZL 338 – Signs of the End 2001: “Now A Christian” with Ergun Caner). You can get the mp3 here (link to mp3). It’s important to realize that these are claims that were apparently recorded back in 2001 before Dr. Caner joined Liberty…

"Living Dead" Themed Movies
My previous post included a video clip of Ergun Caner talking about an alleged experience as a teenager and new arrival to America, watching a film with the theme of the “living dead.” An alert reader pointed out to me that the video shows materials related to the film, “Return of the Living Dead,” which…

Rebutting Norman Geisler
Norman Geisler has still not given up on defending Dr. Ergun Caner (link to his further defense), stating that “a number of unjustified attacks have come to my attention.” He has responded with 7 points to the 9 numbered points in my previous post (link to my previous post), collapsing four of my numbered points…

Some Things that Dr. Geisler Overlooked
Dr. Geisler provided a number of items of response in his “defense” of Dr. Ergun Caner. I’d like to highlight a few additional items that Dr. Geisler seems to have overlooked. These are some troubling issues in addition to the many that Dr. Geisler identified. I don’t know whether Dr. Geisler’s “defense” of Dr. Caner…

Caner Petition?
An alert reader drew my attention to an on-line petition that has apparently been created to protest, as inadequate, the investigation that Liberty University undertook (link to petition). I’m not a big fan of petitions – I’m not sure what they accomplish – but I think it is interesting that someone has started one. I’m…

Dr. White’s Responses to Dr. Geisler
Unbeknown to me, Dr. White was similarly providing a detailed response to Dr. Geisler’s comments. They may found in three parts here: (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4). It looks like we said fairly similar things at a number of points, and highlighted different issues at other points. I would normally say, “Enjoy,”…

Wrapping Up Geisler’s Defense of Caner
In a first post, I introduced Dr. Geisler’s latest error of judgment with respect to the Caner scandal (link to post). In a second post, I addressed the first group of “misspeaks” that Geisler identified (link to post). In a third post, I addressed the list of various charges and responses that Geisler aimed to…
