    You did a great job covering for Greg – – I enjoyed you just as much as I do him! Although, you do have a Jersey accent that Greg absolutely does not have! I love it! Made my day!

  • Keep Tim Barnett off the show

    He’s a narcissist and a manipulator. Less of him makes this show all the more better.

  • This podcast is just a repository of motivated reasoning, logical fallacy, misplaced morals, and bad ideas.

    This may not go over well but I don’t think a show should ask for money at the end of the year when the main person is not on very much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is the Second Law of Thermodynamics a Good Argument Against Evolution?
Q: How do you explain the resurrection of Jesus?
You need to provide evidence of Jesus being dead at one point and alive at another. The historical record shows he was crucified and confirmed dead. The empty tomb suggests the body was not stolen.
Naturalism of the Gaps
Q: What is the biblical rule regarding divorce and remarriage?
Divorce and remarriage are permitted in cases of infidelity or abandonment. No sin, including divorce, disqualifies one from heaven as long as one is covered by Christ.
Naturalism of the Gaps
Q: What are your thoughts on the concept of science catching up to answer questions we can't answer now?
It's circular reasoning, presuming the truth of naturalism and ignoring the evidence before us.
Be Mindful of Your Character When Making Your Case
Q: How can we know we have the correct canon?
The canon was recognized historically through apostolic authority and orthodoxy, not created by any authority like the Church.
How Do We Know People Didn’t Take Things Out of the Bible?
Q: How do we know that they didn't leave anything out of the Bible?
Koukl explains that since there are numerous copies of biblical texts that can be compared, any significant changes would be detectable, suggesting the integrity of the Bible has been preserved.
