Does God Exist? The Universe Needs a Cause
Everything that begins to exist has a cause. Scientists agree the universe had a beginning. So what caused it?
Right & Wrong: Where Does Morality Come From?
Killing innocent children is wrong - everywhere, always, for everyone. If that's truly true, what does it tell us about God?
The Universe Was Built for Life - On Purpose?
The odds of our universe supporting life are astronomically precise. Was it an accident - or design?
Science & Faith: Are They Really at War?
Many people think you have to choose between science and God. But what if the greatest scientific discoveries actually point toward a Creator?
Evolution: What It Proves and What It Doesnât
Does evolution prove God doesn't exist? Dawkins says yes. The evidence says it's not that simple. A careful look at what Darwin's theory can and cannot do.
Can We Trust the Bible? The Manuscript Evidence
With 5,800+ Greek manuscripts, the New Testament is the most documented ancient text in history. What does that mean?
Did Archaeologists Prove the Bible Right?
For centuries, critics said the Bible invented cities and kings. Then archaeologists started digging. What they found was stunning.
Why Christianity? What Makes It Different?
Arenât all religions basically the same? Actually, theyâre not - and Christianity makes claims that no other religion dares to make. Claims that can be tested.
Christianity and Islam: Examining the Claims
Christianity and Islam make competing claims about Jesus, God, and history. Both cannot be right. What does the evidence show when we examine them side by side?
Prophecy: Did the Old Testament Predict Jesus?
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, the Old Testament made specific predictions about the Messiah. Were they fulfilled? The evidence is astonishing.
Non-Christian Sources Confirm Jesus Existed
Roman historians, Jewish scholars, and enemies of Christianity all wrote about Jesus. What did they say?
Who Did Jesus Claim to Be?
Jesus didn't just claim to be a good teacher. He made claims so radical that they leave only three options: he was a liar, a lunatic, or exactly who he said he was.
The Empty Tomb: What Really Happened?
Even Jesus's enemies admitted the tomb was empty. Historians call five facts about the resurrection "minimal facts." What are they?
If God Is Real, Why Doesnât He Just Show Himself?
If God exists and loves us, why isnât it more obvious? This is now considered the second strongest argument for atheism. It deserves a real answer.
If God is Good, Why is There Evil?
This is the hardest question skeptics ask. It deserves a real answer - not just "trust God." Let's think it through carefully.
But Doesnât the Bible Have Terrible Things in It?
The Old Testament contains passages about violence, war, and slavery that trouble modern readers. The archaeological evidence reveals what was really happening, and why justice demanded a response.
Hasnât Religion Caused More Harm Than Good?
The Crusades, the Inquisition, clergy abuse. If Christianity is supposed to make people better, why has it been connected to so much evil? An honest look at the charges and the full historical record.
Is Religion Just a Brain Trick?
Some scientists say your brain evolved to believe in God, whether or not God is real. But does explaining how you believe something tell you whether it is true?
