| 0:00.0 | Thank you. |
| 0:03.0 | and the questions from all over the world, Dr. Craig. |
| 0:08.0 | Let's start in the United States. |
| 0:10.0 | Parker says, |
| 0:11.0 | Dear Dr. Craig, I'm a Christian and a fan of you and your work on the resurrection |
| 0:14.8 | of Jesus Christ, and I have a question regarding an atheist argument against it. |
| 0:19.5 | The argument states, one, if the evidence for the resurrection is compelling, then we should expect to find |
| 0:25.4 | many examples of non-Christian historians becoming convinced by the evidence for the |

| 1:38.0 | I very much look forward to hearing your response and I would be patient no matter how long it takes. |
| 1:43.6 | Thank you for your time and work for the Kingdom of Christ and God bless. |
