Summary

Many have attempted to discredit the Kalam Cosmological Argument for God. Have they succeeded? Join Frank for this special midweek podcast episode as he hosts not one, but TWO of the most accomplished Christian philosophers, Dr. William Lane Craig and Dr. Stephen C. Meyer. Both guests present their own approaches to the argument and answer the main objections to it. And during the second half of the show, they tackle a long list of thought-provoking (and sometimes mind-boggling) listener questions!
Including:

If God created the universe, who created God?

How is math the product of a mind?

What does "began to exist" mean in the Kalam cosmological argument?

How do we know the creator is the Christian God?

What is the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin (BGV) theorem?

Is it possible to reconcile young + old earth creation views?

If God is timeless, how did He create time?
