| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, June 22nd, 2020, and this is the Daily Article podcast. I'm Chris Elkins |
| 0:08.9 | with the Denison Forum, narrating today's article written by Dr. Jim Denison. Rescuers are |
| 0:15.3 | continuing their search this morning for the submersible that disappeared on its way to the |
| 0:19.8 | Titanic wreckage site Sunday. |
| 0:22.1 | The U.S. Coast Guard stated that underwater sounds in the search area were heard again yesterday. |
| 0:27.1 | However, the Titan was estimated last Sunday morning to have 96 hours of oxygen, which means |
| 0:33.5 | time is likely running out for its passengers, assuming the vessel has not already suffered |
| 0:38.7 | catastrophic damage. Britain's King Charles III said he is praying for those on board, one of whom |
| 0:44.3 | is a longtime supporter of charities founded by the monarch. The British Titanic Society likewise said |

| 1:18.6 | If the passengers are not found alive, they will either blame God or disparage prayer for those who |
| 1:24.6 | believe in its efficacy. One argument against the Christian faith is that it is |
| 1:29.1 | non-falsifiable, meaning that no kind or amount of evidence can convince Christians that they're wrong. |
| 1:35.8 | The philosopher Anthony Flew made this claim popular, but we encounter it often from our critics. |
| 1:42.2 | In fact, the shoe is on the other foot. Christianity, |
| 1:45.6 | unlike many other faiths, is built on historical events, facts, and reports. Paul stated boldly |
| 1:52.4 | in 1 Corinthians 15, verse 14, if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your |
| 1:59.5 | faith is in vain. From Luke 24, verses 36 through |
