An exegetical defence of six-day creation. This episode investigates the internal biblical evidence that supports a literal reading of the six-day creation narrative in Genesis 1. There are several key Bible passages that completely refute the deep time narrative that some people try to impose upon the scriptures. These Bible passages simply do not allow a deep time interpretation of the creation...

If God wants us to believe in him, why isn't he more obvious? There are FOUR very good reasons, outlined in this brief 5-minute podcast.

Episode 2 of FAITH in FIVE: So What if God Exists? Does it make any difference at all? Even if there is some kind of God out there, what relevance does this have to my life?

This is the first episode in the five-minute series, FAITH in FIVE, providing short answers to big questions. In this episode we examine the question, "What evidence is there for God's existence?" Is there any evidence at all?

Here is the third episode in my five-minute series,  Faith in Five . It deals with the question, "Which religion is true?" and explains why Christianity deserves to be taken seriously out of all the world's religions. It also examines the main criteria that most people employ in assessing the various religions and reveals how that common criteria is the most irrelevant factor in the...

7 historical facts that support the resurrection of Jesus. These are historical facts that no serious historian denies, and the best explanation for them is that Jesus really did rise from the dead

Explains the need to move beyond mere belief and turn to Jesus in true faith and repentance.

Atheism requires that you believe in 10 impossible things. By denying God as the ultimate cause of the universe, the atheist is left grasping at 10 straws: a series of highly implausible explanations which, when considered together, amount to a cumulative impossibility. 

Pascal's Wager proposes that the question of God's possible existence has huge consequences and must be considered very seriously. It points out the potential eternal loss that faces those who reject God if it turns out that they are wrong and God does, indeed, exist.

Miraculous interventions in world affairs provide additional evidence for God's existence.

Existential evidence for God's existence deals with the subjective evidence of one's personal experience of God. This episode contains powerful testimonies of God's intervention in people's lives and also analyses the relevance and reliability of such testimony.

The resurrection of Jesus provides the most convincing evidence for the existence of God.  But did Jesus really rise from the dead? Or was his resurrection merely a myth perpetrated by fanatical followers? This episode examines the hard historical evidence.

The miracles of Jesus, if they are true, represent powerful evidence for the existence of God. But are they true? Or are they simply mythical embellishments? This episode provides significant corroborating historical evidence for the miracles of Jesus.

If there is a God who created the world, is there any historical evidence of his ongoing intervention in our world? This episode examines literary and archaeological evidence which substantiates the testimony of the Bible's historical account.

Is the “Something” we have begun to suspect is the ultimate cause of the universe actually a “Someone”? And is that “Someone” the Christian God? How can we possibly decide when there are so many religions which propose such a plethora of different Gods? This episode provides a brief, incisive comparison of the world’s religions and explains why Christianity stands out from them all.

Objective moral values clearly DO exist. They are not merely conjured up via group consensus or popular vote, but appear to be more basic and intrinsic. There seems to be a set of moral values that exist independent to our changing opinions and which are imprinted indelibly onto our souls. These point to the existence of a supernatural creator because a purely mechanistic universe cannot create va...

If there is no God, moral values have no absolute, objective basis. Without an external, objective set of standards, all we are left with are the shifting sands of personal or communal opinion.

The possible existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life has intrigued humanity for centuries. But what does the scientific evidence tell us so far? And what relevance does this have for a discussion of God's possible existence?

The Earth’s relationship with the Sun and the Moon offers further evidence of a supernatural Creator. This episode examines some fascinating aspects of solar eclipses as well as other aspects of Earth's unique place in the cosmos.

Our planet has a confluence of life-permitting habitability factors that defy statistical probability. These point to the work of an all-powerful intelligent designer. The fact that no exoplanet of the thousands discovered so far is even remotely close to Earth-like reveals that our planet is extraordinary and unique.

Human consciousness and cognition cannot be explained by a purely materialistic universe. Atoms and chemicals don't think and can't give rise to self-awareness and the ability to engage in abstract thought. Consciousness demands an immaterial explanation.

The extremely fine-tuned universal constants that undergird the existence and operation of our universe are so precisely fine-tuned and inter-dependent that their precise values could not be a product of mere chance. The exquisitely precise values of all these life-permitting forces speak of a supremely intelligent designer.

Examines the gaping scientific holes in the concept of abiogenesis – the naive belief that biological life somehow formed from non-living matter via random chemical processes. Mounting scientific evidence points to the impossibility of life evolving spontaneously via natural processes. As the Professor of Biology (not a creationist) at the University of North Carolina recently posted on the univer...

The incredible world of molecular machines that operates within the living cell provides powerful evidence for the existence of an Intelligent Designer. This amazing realm of irreducibly complex interdependent moving parts cannot have evolved by incremental random chemical processes. With fascinating images and expert testimony, this episode explores the stunning evidence of God's creative hand wi...

DNA is the complete set operating instructions at the heart of almost every cell. It is a genetic code that is more complex and sophisticated than any computer code mankind has ever written, and it could not have developed incrementally and gradually. DNA can only have come from a supreme pre-existing supreme intelligence.
