| 0:26.6 | Thanks for joining us at Cold Case Christianity. I'm Jay Warner Wallace. Today, we're going |
| 0:31.5 | to talk about two common objections that are offered related to the existence of God. So if you're somebody who's making a claim about God's existence, you believe that God does exist, |
| 0:42.3 | and you've maybe talked about it with your friends. |
| 0:44.3 | You've actually maybe even gotten into dialogues back and forth on social media. |
| 0:48.3 | That's not unusual on Facebook. |

| 1:38.7 | as a cold case detective in order to determine if witnesses who came to me on a certain case were reliable |
| 1:45.9 | eyewitnesses, because I can tell you that there are times when you get fooled, right? And so you have to |
| 1:49.9 | be careful with your eyewitnesses. And so this process, this template that I used to determine, |
| 1:55.2 | to kind of mine out the reliability of my eyewitnesses, That was the exact same template that I used as a new |
| 2:02.1 | believer, somebody who was investigating the claims of Christianity, because it took me six |
