| 0:00.0 | Dr Craig, I'm going to put you in the hot seat and ask some questions from all over the world, |
| 0:13.7 | is from Zane in the United States. |
| 0:16.0 | Dear Dr. Craig, in several of your debates you mentioned that people before the time of |
| 0:20.0 | Jesus, or residing in isolated parts of the world could still perceive God's general |
| 0:25.2 | revelation of himself in nature and conscience. Would this imply that uncontacted |
| 0:31.7 | tribes like Aboriginal people etc |
| 0:35.0 | simply misunderstood what God revealed to them in nature, |

| 1:40.8 | Okay. |
| 1:42.1 | Question from Canada. |
| 1:44.0 | Hello, Dr. Craig, I was listening to your Defender's podcast on the Inspiration of |
| 1:48.0 | scripture, where you respond to a scholarly article about how the free will of man and the supervision of scripture |
| 1:55.0 | does not allow for a confluence to take place. You did a wonderful job of |
| 1:59.9 | defending the middle knowledge position as a viable alternative. |
| 2:04.8 | And perhaps we'll pause and just explain what that alternative is. |
