A viral clip is making the rounds claiming an MIT professor "destroyed" the biggest argument atheists use against Christianity. Christian YouTuber Elijah Zielke certainly thinks so, nodding along to a Lex Fridman interview with MIT plasma physicist Ian Hutchinson, who argues that atheists are trapped in "scientism" and that the case for Christianity is stronger than skeptics ad...

John Lennox, billed as the world's number one Christianity expert, sat down with Steven Bartlett on Diary of a CEO and Christians across YouTube couldn't stop raving about it. There's just one problem. When Bartlett repeatedly asked for actual evidence, Lennox had none.  CJ & Paulogia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syjzumcB8SY  original videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The “Minimal Facts” argument is often presented as the most reliable, evidence-based case for the resurrection—built only on what even skeptical scholars accept. But how strong is that foundation, really? Researcher Michael J Alter examines the famous “90% consensus” claim, the data behind it, and whether it holds up under scrutiny.

When Wes Huff appeared on Mikhaila Peterson's podcast, his historical arguments sounded compelling—but how well do they hold up when someone actually checks them? original video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSumq-kIlqg Support Paulogia at http://www.patreon.com/paulogia http://www.paypal.me/paulogia Paulogia Channel Wish-List https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/YTALNY19IBC8?ref_=wl_shar...

Alex O’Connor and Trent Horn recently debated the resurrection of Jesus — but beneath the polished arguments was a much bigger problem nobody stopped to examine. Let's discuss the hidden assumptions behind the reliability of the gospels, group appearances, martyrdom claims, and whether resurrection apologists are quietly treating disputed Bible stories as established history. === original pos...

Jesus didn’t emerge from a vacuum. In first-century Judea, apocalyptic preachers, messianic expectations, resurrection beliefs, and end-times movements were already everywhere. Yale scholar John J. Collins explains the forgotten world that shaped Jesus—and why understanding that world may radically change how you think about Christianity’s origins.

On the verge of retirement, Bart Ehrman delivers his final lecture—only to find himself at the center of sharp criticism from William Lane Craig. What follows is a tense, fascinating clash over biblical manuscripts, archaeology, and contradictions, as Ehrman responds point-by-point to claims that many Christians take for granted.  (original post May 4, 2026) === SIGN UP FOR THE COURSE! http://www....

Many argue Jesus predicted He would return in the 1st century and since this did not occur Jesus uttered a false prophecy. But did Jesus really predict His 2nd coming would occur in the 1st century?

The “Minimal Witnesses” hypothesis can be succinctly expressed as descriptions of twelve relatively uncontroversial naturalistic events that, in turn, gave rise to the Jesus Movement, which eventually evolved into modern Christianity.

How does a former atheist, and a practicing cold case detective, assess the historical reliability of the Bible? How does that fit with how a lawyer would assess that same claim? @GodlessGranny joins us to investigate.

If there is a God, and God can do anything, then why doesn't He just show Himself, then it would be a whole lot easier to believe...  We all might ask this at some point in our lives whether we believe in God or not, so the question is: what would be the best way for God to reveal Himself? ... well, how would you do it?
