Philosophical Objections

This section deals with some of the main philosophical objections to Christian belief. If our minds are the size of an 8 oz. Coke can and Truth about God is the size of the ocean, we should humbly expect that everything won't "fit". However, these resources have been helpful to us as we've come to see Christianity as providing the worldview with the most explanatory power the world has seen.

    These resources are focused on objections arising from history and science. Unlike many other religions Christianity is founded upon events that have taken place in space and time. While far from exhaustive, these resources are a good starting place for people with doubts surrounding space-and-time issues such as creation, the historicity of the Bible, and the person and resurrection of Jesus.
