The Mind-Blowing Meaning Behind the Sign of Jonah

Jeff Hester Debates William Lane Craig On The Topic “Is Belief In God Rational In A Scientific Age?”
By Wintery Knight I was very excited to see a recent debate by Christian philosopher William Lane Craig against atheist astronomer Jeff Hester. When I summarize a debate, I do a fair, objective summary if the atheist is intelligent and informed, as with Peter...
6 Ways Atheism Is A Science-Stopper
By Luke Nix Introduction: Science vs. Christianity? It is commonly claimed that Christianity is a science-stopper. What is usually put forth to justify this claim is that many Christians are content to look at nature and say, "God did it," without looking further to...
