Welcome to a bonus episode of the Think Biblically podcast.

Shaw McDowell here.

Now, normally, you know, on Fridays, we post weekly cultural updates.

But Scott Ray and I are taken off July to recover because these updates actually take

hours every week to prepare.

And instead, each Thursday, I'm going to post a bonus episode from my YouTube channel

that is right in line with the kind of content that we have here on the Think Biblical

podcast, but really actually more depth than the typical 30 to 35 minute episode that we have.

So this first one was a conversation at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo that I had with an atheist professor from Cal Poly named Dr. Paul Rinsler.

Very thoughtful, very kind.

And we discussed Slash had a kind, you might call it a friendly debate on the topic of miracles whether they're myths or whether

they are real so we each give a seven minute opening and then we launch into answering questions

from the host and then we take questions from the audience i think you're going to enjoy this one

and as usually hope you'll consider sharing it with a friend. Keep your questions coming to think

biblically at biola.edu. And enjoy this special bonus episode.

Well, I'd like to thank the Veritas Forum for inviting me tonight. It's a great privilege.

And I'd also like to thank my wife, Robin,

for helping me think through some of these issues. Robin, your help as always is invaluable.

One other small note, I'm getting over a cold. I have a lingering cough. So if I cough a little bit

tonight, please forgive me. So I think the most important thing to focus on is to figure out how we're going to know if

a miracle happened or not.

And I'm going to focus on miracles.
