Summary
In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Broadcast, J. Warner Wallace responds to two emails from viewers of the show. (1) Is it unbiblical to examine evidence to confirm the reliability of the Bible? Shouldn't we just trust what the Bible says since it is the Word of God? (2) Do the varied interpretations of Genesis 1 invalidate the Bible as a source of reliable information? If the Bible is the Word of God, shouldn't we be able to come to agreement about what it teaches?

| 0:38.4 | where I didn't have really a chance to even breathe it felt like. And I kind of lost my voice |
| 0:42.5 | over that period of time. But finally, we're back here in front of the cameras to do a couple |
| 0:46.2 | of new episodes for you here at Cold Case Christianity. And you know, for years, I had a podcast, |
| 0:52.8 | eight years we did this podcast. We had a great weekly |
| 0:56.0 | listenership, and we still do. As a matter of fact, we create this show each week, and we |

| 1:22.1 | maybe six weeks or so, I would go back and read listener email. |
| 1:27.0 | I must tell you when I started, I was still working full-time as a detective. I still had a caseload. |
