0:27.9	slash UK slash AI for people. The biggest questions of life are where do we come from? What is our purpose?
0:35.6	And where are we going? The word God covers an enormous range of different ideas.
0:43.3	You don't just logically come to faith.
0:46.3	You can't logically prove God. You can't logically prove Christ.
0:50.3	How do you know you're right? And how do you have such conviction? Well, we don't know we're right. That's why it's faith.
