0:00.0 | Over the past four years, I've had the privilege of interviewing over a hundred guests on dozens of different topics. |
0:10.0 | And today, we thought it'd be interesting to go back into the archives to find some of our favorite clips related to the big topic of apologetics. |
0:19.0 | Today, we're going to be hearing from the likes of Rebecca McLaughlin on how non-Christians |
0:23.1 | often unknowingly borrow from a Christian worldview, from William Lang Craig on the problem |
0:28.6 | of evil, from Peter Williams on the so-called contradictions of the Bible, from Michael |

1:28.5 | The universe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at bottom no design, |
1:35.0 | no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. What do you say to that? |
1:43.9 | Firstly, I would say that Richard Dawkins and other writers of his ilk |
1:49.0 | often ask questions of science that science is not designed to answer for us. |
1:55.1 | And that plays out in two directions. One is they sneak metaphysical claims into scientific |
