    Does science lead us to atheism? An even deeper question: does science lead us anywhere? Is it supposed to lead us somewhere? In order to tackle this question, I had the privilege to have a conversation with Daniel Ray, Christian apologist and coauthor of the book "The Story of the Cosmos: how the Heavens declare the Glory of God".

    God is love...but what about the Old Testament?

    Ask and Wonder: Christian and skeptic thinkers talking about the biggest questions in life. Join the conversation! Subscribe to our channel and help us keep the conversation going!

    Many Christians and non-Christians have trouble understanding how God could be "so harsh" in the Old Testament and loving in the New Testament. How could this be? What happens when we actually analyze the Old Testament, its historical background and God's overall purpose throughout history? What if we are way more evil than God? Dr. Brian Sigmon, PhD in Old Testament studies, helps us navigate through this question.

    Do you have any thoughts on today's conversation? Jesus among other gods: what is exclusivism, relativism and absolute truth? When Jesus claims to be "the way, the truth, and the life" in John 14:6, how can we test it to know it was true? Christian apologist Jonathan Martinez helps us explore and answer all these questions.

    What do we mean when we say "nonsense" when it comes to talking about a worldview? Could "nonsense" be found in both atheism and theism? How often do we use this word in the Christian/non-Christian dialogue and what can we do to learn how to use it better?

    I invited atheists Landon Haynes and Elliott to join me for this discussion.
