There's no hide and seek, I see you see me, watch the mystery, give it up, let it go, somewhere

in between, breathe and break, believe you got what I need, give it up, let it go.

Dr. Craig, we interact with Jonathan Pierce quite often.

He's an atheist, atheist blogger, the tippling philosopher.

He seems to key off a lot of what you say as well.

And we were looking at this article, and it's called the double standards involved with doubting Thomas.

And let me begin here, just a little bit with this article, he says, here's the thing.

We often hear that God wouldn't put a cross on the moon as overwhelming evidence for his existence,

because it is just too overwhelming and doesn't give people the choice to believe.

But this is thoroughly problematic as I discussed in one of his earlier videos.

He says, let me lay some of this out in writing.

God saw fit to convince doubting Thomas, who, after all, knew Jesus and saw him do his miracles.

He was a disciple, one of Jesus' inner circle.

And yet he didn't believe in the resurrection, attested to by his friends and eyewitnesses,

until he had Jesus standing in front of him, until Jesus made him touch the wounds.

And from there Bill, he goes to the account in John 20.

Yes. Well, he, he does summarize the account, although it's not true that Jesus made Thomas touch his wounds.

One of the striking things about the story is that even though Thomas said, I will not believe,

until I put my finger in his side and my, or my hand in his side, my, my finger in his wounds, he doesn't ever do so.

When he sees Jesus, it's so palpable and so really just falls on his knees and says, my Lord and my God,

and never in fact does touch Jesus.

But leave that aside. That's not the central issue here.
