Dr. Frank Turek will be speaking from his book, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist. He will address four questions to help establish why Christianity is the most reasonable worldview.
1. Does Truth Exist?
2. Does God Exist?
3. Are Miracles Possible?
4. Is the New Testament True?

About the miracles, I think a lot of people read the Bible and think it's just a book of miracles. Or, rather, don't even read it and think it is. But keep in mind these books were written a thousand+ years apart from each other. The Bible has miracles in it; yes. But let's not see a bunch of miracles and say "wow, looks like miracles happened all the time back then!" I believe the book of 1 Samuel says when God spoke to Samuel it was a time of very few wonders and words from God. Even in the Bible days, not just in 1 Samuel, miracles were a very rare occurrence. I would argue they probably happen just as often in these days... Maybe more often, since Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit!

I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......the reason I believe we have ppl who are atheists in this society is because of the fall of sin and the deceit of Satan! folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not!! If anyone is looking for real evidence of God then I believe creation is the proof! Look outside at the sun the moon the stars the blue sky the trees the mountains etc we know that everything created has a creator just like buildings have a builder and it’s pretty clear that nothing just suddenly appeared by chance or evolve out of nothing! Read your Bible and you will learn just how this universe got started and really it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your heartsJohn 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

God right now I lift up Richard Dawkins Stephen Fry Penn Jilette, all the secular talk you tube user and all ppl who are atheists and lord I know the very thing that is wrong with ppl and why we are so surrounded by ppl who deny your existence is because Satan is everyday coming up with newer schemes and tactics to deceive ppl so well! Lord as we get closer to your return the days are growing darker all around us as more ppl are going to reject the Messiah with now the craziest excuses possible! As Psalm 14:1 and 53:1 puts it only the fool says in his heart there is no God! Lord it burdens my heart to think that those who are lost and not indwelt by the spirit are going to end up in a terrible place called hell that is unending suffering in flaming fire and the wrath of God will forever abide on them! That will be far worse than any of the most gigantic problem experienced here on this earth! Lord right now I lift up everyone who is reading this and lord I pray in Jesus Name that if there is anyone who doesn’t know you or is troubled about their souls reading this then by all means please allow this comment to enlighten their path to draw them to yourself and gloriously be saved from that horrible eternal place called Hell lord that’s my prayer and that’s my hope! I pray that Satan will be completely banned from this comment right now in Jesus Name and Satan only by the authority of Jesus Christ and his word which I stand upon you are completely banned from this comment! I don’t care whether you like it or not I am praying for the lost to get saved as well as the atheists you think you have so fooled you fool! I am seeking to completely set fire to your atheistic harvest Mr.! you are nothing but a Liar with a capital L the father of Lies!!!!! A cheater! A deceiver! A joker! A murderer! A thief! A stalker! A depressant! And most of all a father of lies low down yellow dog loooooooser! And there's absolutely nothing you're going to say or do that's going to change your future whatsoever! you are going to be cast into the lake of fire where you're going to burn forever and ever and whether you like it or not we are all gods children and praise be to God we won't be joining you......... So in Jesus name I demand and insist that you back away from us entirely leave us all alone get thee behind Jesus and don't come back you hear me? Don't come back ever and in Jesus name be gone forever your father of lies loser! Because you're going to hell! Repeat you're going to hell! And your time is short! Lord again please just reach out to the lost folks that read this comment! Lord if anyone is troubled about their souls then please I beg you may they waste no time commenting back to me so I can show them how to come to know the precious sweet savior Jesus who made it possible to escape the wrath to come! And lord if anyone who is reading this is in fact an atheist then lord it is only your Holy Spirit that can open their eyes to your existence and deliver them from this terrible lie that you don’t exist! God time is running out and ppl need to respond to the Gospel quickly before it is too late! If Jesus would forsake the 99 sheep go outta his way to still try to save the one remaining lost lamb then can you please use me to reach out to the remaining lost lambs! I want nothing more than to see your wonderful precious and holy name most high and glorified whatever that takes! Lord as your children everyday I ask that you please fill our hearts with much patience grace wisdom strength and obedience to accomplish your perfect will and as we as your children through these dark days seek the bright light of your face May we daily much exalt magnify and glorify high and lift up the king of kings and the Lord of lords much to the fullest extent in all we say and do lord that's my prayer and that's my hope! Please lord again use us and strengthen us to win the lost to you! As always God in the good times you are worthy to be praised and we're going to give you all the glory with thanksgiving in our hearts for you giving us all things to enjoy and in the bad times we're still going to do just the same lord because you are Jehovah Jireh our provider Jehovah Nissi our banner Jehovah Ropheka our healer and the perfect physician Dr. Jesus Christ Jehovah Shalom our wonderful and blessed prince of peace! And the God who comforts us in all of our afflictions! You are the alpha the omega the beginning and the end! The first and the last are you! The absolute timeless God the eternal God the infinite God the Holy God the righteous God the beautiful God the Rose of Sharon the buckler the captain of our soul the dayspring from on high the daystar the bright and morning star the lily of the valley the light of the world! Lord thank you so much for your death on the cross for our sins! Romans 5:8 says God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. And also John 3:16-17 says For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life! For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Yes lord you are worthy of all our praise worship and adoration! Thank you for your unfailing love toward us and for saving our souls from the pits of Hell! And Lord no matter how fiery our trials can become lord just giving you all the praise and thanksgiving will cause us to become overcomers and more than conquerors! And as always no matter how painful or even unbearable our temporary sufferings can become still Romans 8:18 paints just the perfect picture of just how small and temporary our troubles are compared to eternity as it states that our present sufferings are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us! And I also know that 1st Thessalonians 4:16-18 day is coming For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Also 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 tells us that Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. And also Revelation 21:4 day is near and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more crying death sorrow neither shall there be any more pain for all the former things have passed away and all things are new! What a day that will be! When my Jesus I shall see! When I look upon his face! The one who saved me by his grace! When he takes me by the hand and leads me to the promised land! What a day! Glorious day! That will be! Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away! To that place where Joy shall never end! I'll fly away! I'll fly away oh glory! I'll fly away in the morning! When I die hallelujah by and by! I'll fly away! By and by when the morning comes! When the saints of God are gathered home we will tell the story of how we've overcome! And we'll understand it better by and by! Sing the wondrous love of Jesus! Sing his mercy and his grace! In the mansions bright and blessed! He'll prepare for us a place! When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus! We'll sing and shout the victory! O victory in Jesus! My savior forever! He sought me! And bought me! With his redeeming blood! He loved me ere I knew him! And all my love is due him! He plunged me to victory! Beneath the cleansing flood! And as Titus 2:13 puts it we are waiting for that blessed hope of the glorious appearing of our lord and savior Jesus Christ! I'm kinda homesick for a country to which I've never been before! No sad good byes will there be spoken! And time won't matter anymore! Beluah Land I'm longing for you and someday on thee I'll stand where my home shall be eternal! Beluah Land Sweet Beluah Land!!!! Yes lord what a wonderful beautiful glorious and victorious morning that still lies ahead for all of us who belong to you and are called according to your purpose! Forever all our pain will be forever forgotten ousted and vanished in the presence of our lord and savior Jesus Christ! Yes lord please use these reminders to set all of our minds on things above and not things down here! and finally when all is said and done please just multiply and pour out all on our days ahead with much smiles satisfaction and laughter unimaginable sunshiny happy days and Joy unspeakable! Also please fill each of our cup till it overflows! Finally please just remind us we as brothers and sisters Will be in much prayer for each other love one another dearly and will never give up on one another as long as it takes and I pray all this in his precious and holy name amen.......:-)

Faith in what?
@hhstark8663 Says:
Here is that quote by the secular scholar Alexander Vilenkin:
_“It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man. With the proof now in place, cosmologists can no longer hide behind the possibility of a past-eternal universe. _*_There is no escape: they have to face the problem of a cosmic beginning._*_ ”_ (Vilenkin, _Many Worlds in One_ , p176)
This is what caused Albert Einstein to accept god.
@hhstark8663 Says:
*Frank is NOT making an argument of ignorance (also known as god of the gaps).*
I understand why you might think that, but it is NOT argument from ignorance.
This is an example of an argument from ignorance:
Let´s say we have effect X and has strong reason to think that cause Y cannot product that effect. If I immediately then infer that cause Z did it *without* offering any positive evidence that cause Z can produce effect X, then that would be an argument from ignorance.
This is NOT what we are doing when we are making an *evidential* case for theism. We have an effect, such as digital information or specified complexity, that we know from *our uniform and repeated* experience arises from a mind. We have *independent* knowledge that concious activity does produce this effect and we have reasons think that it *has a higher epistemic probability* of producing this particular kind of effect. And we also have good reasons for thinking that various materialistic (atheistic) explanations have a *lower* epistemic probability of producing that effect. Since we have reasons for thinking that conciousness have a *higher* epistemic probability of producing that effect, then we can infer with confidence back to that type of cause as an explanation as it is more probable. This is what is known as an inference to the best explanation. It is NOT an argument from ignorance, since we are offering a *positive warrant* for the *higher* probability of that causal explanation.
The other problem with the argument from ignorance-objection, is that it results in circular reasoning. You have to *presuppose* materialism is true in order to make that objection, which results in circular reasoning - if you are going to apply it each and every time a theistic explanation is made.

He said science does substantiate the BB, the begging of the universe. So it's 13.8 billion years old, not 6,000 years. But science doesn't say it came out of nothing. It was the begging of this universe. You can check it in YouTube by Fermilab, what happened before the BB. Science doesn't know what caused Singularity of quantum field to bang though it could have banged by itself quantum mechanically.

If there is anyone who would like to have a relationship with God, kindly do the following:
1. Pray the following prayer.
2. Pray this prayer willingly, genuinely, and wholeheartedly.
3. Pray this prayer out loud.
Here is the prayer:
“Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for laying Your life on the cross for my sins. I ask you to forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Saviour. I confess with my mouth that You are Lord. And I believe in my heart that God raised You from the grave. Now, guide me to live for You the rest of my life.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
Amen.”
The preceding is what you need to do to have a relationship with God. Strongly consider doing it. Thank you.

Jesus is alive , He is Life. The Apostles only bonded with Jesus after they received the Holy Spirit. This was after the Lords resurrection. Even if they physically followed him three years , only their fellowship in Spirit made them true Sheep of the Flock.

The Holy Spirit calls to the Table of Truth !
@NewCreationInChrist896 Says:
Most importantly pray for those who don’t care to know God. Pray for those who think they know God especially those in religious cults and for the lukewarm Christian, who don’t want to grow to know God. Pray God helps you grow to know Him more. Always pray because its always something to pray about, reason why God said pray without ceasing, our lifestyle and lifeline.

The Lord answered, “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? “Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb; When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band; When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors; When I said, ‘This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!’ “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its place, That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?” Job 38:4-13
Who is man to say God didn’t do what He said? Where was man indeed.

Learning about space and it's vastness dwarfs the relevancy of your religion. Why would this god care to make so many stars, far bigger than our own and so far away for us to care especially when the bible doesn't either. It doesn't seem fit for a reality with a director where bugs on ONE planet called humans are the true stars of the show. Pretending it reinforces belief in a god by going "LOOK WAT ChEEZUZ DID / isn't god such a grand genius?!?!" is a sad level of cope and delusion.
I'm astonished that creationists are so desperate as to twist the cosmological theories of atheists to somehow claim that they actually affirm their beliefs of creation. I do not believe in the big bang therefore I most definitely don't believe you know who banged something that never was. Something from nothing is impossible therefore creationism is illogical. Saying your beliefs of something from nothing are sound because you at least believe in a wizard making things poof into being isn't a logical foundation. It means you need to be taken to a psych ward.
And I'm disgusted that you keep starting off your speeches with mentions of military veteran stories that don't have anything to do with religion yet you squeeze the emotion out of them and mop it up to add as emotional seasoning to your religious speech.
