Summary
In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace summarizes the case for Gods existence from consciousness.

For a robust review of the collective case for God's existence from eight pieces of evidence "inside the room" of the natural universe, please refer to God's Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Homicide Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe.

| 0:26.4 | Hey, thanks for watching Cold Case Christianity. |
| 0:30.1 | I'm Jay Warner Wallace. |
