We’ve begun to investigate clues in the world around us to try and determine why things are the way they are. It only made sense to start with the beginning of everything, and that means the beginning of the universe. But did the universe really begin to exist? Or has it always been here? The [...]
In our last article, we began to examine our first piece of evidence – the universe itself. We put forth an argument that the universe had a cause for its existence. Now, I would like to take some time to examine the premises of the argument to see why we should hold them to be [...]
Everyone has a worldview, whether they use the term or not. Our worldview determines how we interact with the world around us. There are 5 questions every worldview must answer. In our courtroom analogy, the questions are like evidence, things we have observed about the crime scene. The list of worldviews is the list of [...]
If you’ve ever played the game of Telephone, you know that the phrase that starts the game is never the same phrase that comes out in the end. If I whisper, “Ohio State football is the best,” it has a great chance of ending as “Osirus hates pickle falls in his check”. We also know [...]
Here’s a fun experiment. Take a sentence in any language and then use Google Translate to translate it into another language. Take that result and translate it again. Do it one more time. Now take that result and translate it back to the original language. Chances are, you don’t get back the original sentence you [...]
Humanity has always been fascinated by the night sky and the things beyond our world. Our observations and discoveries have progressed throughout thousands of years. We thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around us. We later realized that the sun was at the center of our galaxy, and [...]
Now that we’ve discussed the nature of evidence, a little bit about cumulative cases, and whether or not this is a case we should even bring to trial in the first place, it’s time for us to start looking at the actual evidence. Now we can make our opening statement and give an overview of [...]
Recently, I demonstrated that if God does not exist, then life has no meaning, no purpose, and no value. “But, Dave,” you may say. “I know plenty of atheists. And they live purposeful lives full of meaning.” That’s probably true. As we will see, though, people rarely consider the ramifications of atheism, and they rarely live [...]
Before we examine the evidence for Christianity, it is essential to consider why this topic is significant. We have a lot of current events being paraded in front of us on a daily basis that seem far more pressing – a lot of other cases we have to try. We have climate issues, immigration [...]
When making the case for a particular worldview – whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hindui,sm or even Atheism – there is certain evidence we see in reality that requires an explanation. The universe is not eternal; it began to exist. But why did it come into existence at all? At some point, life began. [...]
