The Last Word by Thomas Nagel, Oxford University Press
“I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers.”
John Lennox -- Oxford Mathematician
“Faith is not a leap in the dark but a step into the light based on clear evidence.”
> CREATION -- Design
Bollore and Bonnassies, God, the Science, the Evidence
“The origin…and continued functioning of the Universe depend on around twenty parameters or constants. The values of these numbers were fixed at the moment the Universe came into being and are invariable in time and space.

“For some of these numbers, a very slight variation by even a distant decimal point would have yielded an unrecognizable Universe, and we would not be here to talk about it. This is the essence of the ‘fine tuning’ principal.”
Dr. Stephen Meyers, Return of the GOD Hypothesis

1. Cosmology: The universe had a beginning
2. Physics: The universe is finely tuned
3. Biology: Life is coded with information
> CREATION -- Design

> CONSCIENCE -- Morality
Sociologist Christian Smith, Moral Believing Animals: Human Personhood and Culture
“‘Moral’...is an orientation toward understandings about what is right and wrong, just and unjust, that are not established by our own actual desires or preferences but instead are believed to exist apart from them, providing standards by which our desires and preferences can themselves be judged.”
> CREATION -- Design

> CONSCIENCE -- Morality

> CHRIST -- Resurrection
Greg Koukl, The Story of Reality
“The vast majority of scholars on the life of Jesus--including those who are entirely secular and have no religious stake in the matter--agree to four facts of history.”
1. Jesus died on a cross on Friday and was buried
2. The tomb was empty on Sunday
3. Numerous eyewitnesses, at personal peril, testified to being with Jesus after he had died
4. Even skeptics (like James and Paul) died rather than recanting belief in the resurrection
Jordan Monge, “The Atheist’s Dilemma”
“I was painfully arrogant, prone to fits of rage, unforgiving, unwaveringly selfish, and I had passed sexual boundaries that I’d promised I wouldn’t... Yet I could do nothing to right these wrongs. The Cross looked like the answer to an incurable need. When I read the Crucifixion scene in the Book of John for the first time, I wept… When confronted with the overwhelming body of evidence I encountered, when facing down the living God, it was the only rational course of action.”
