  • Was Genesis Wrong About Creation? (Alex O'Connor vs Dinesh D'Souza)
    Jul 9 2024

    Send us your Questions and Comments Here

    Was Genesis Chapter 1 intended to be a scientific account of creation? Why does Genesis 1-11 seem to have so much in common with other writings from Israel's surrounding neighbors? In this debate, Nick responds to Alex O'Connor catching Dinesh D'Souza off-guard with some questions about the Bible. Are you prepared to defend your views on creation?

  • Is the Bible Inerrant and Can It Be Trusted? | Mike Licona
    Jul 2 2024

    Send us your Questions and Comments Here

    Nick Shalna interviews Dr. Michael Licona, author of Jesus, Contradicted, on the ideas of inspiration, inerrancy, and the reasons for differences among New Testament Gospels. How does the way that the gospels present the same story differently reflect the writing standards of the 1st century? What kinds of things did 1st Century authors do that may surprise us? If there is a surface contradiction or error in the Bible, does it disqualify its reliability and trustworthiness?

  • Is This the Most Evil Idea In the New Testament? (@Richard Dawkins & CosmicSkeptic - Rapid Response)
    Jun 28 2024

    Send us your Questions and Comments Here

    Are we born into the world guilty of sin? Did Jesus Himself say He came to die for our sins? Can everyone recognize that there is some standard we all fall short of, and why does it matter which standard it is? Is morality possible apart from God?

  • Is God Responsible for People Going to Hell? (@The Atheist Experience - Rapid Response)
    Jun 27 2024

    Send us your Questions and Comments Here

    Nick responds to a throwback video of Matt Dilahaunty taking a phone call from a Christian on "The Atheist Experience". Does the reality of God's foreknowledge necessitate the idea that He causes all of our actions? Is God responsible for all who go to hell because He created it? How should believers carry a conversation about the faith, and how SOULDN'T they?
