  • 2769 - #1203 - One of the Silliest Reasons to Reject Christianity

    In this episode, Trent Horn responds to Joe Rogan’s interview with linguist Daniel Everett and the claim that ancient religious history is unreliable simply because we weren’t there to see it. Trent explains why this objection misunderstands history, applies a double standard to Christianity, and wrongly treats modern “immediate experience” as the only reliable way to know truth.

  • 2768 - #1202 - Three Coincidences That Prove God Exists

    In this episode, Trent Horn examines three major coincidences that make atheism increasingly difficult to accept: the fine-tuning of the universe, the strange reality of objective moral facts, and the massive number of miracle claims throughout history. Taken together, these point toward a universe that looks far more like the product of design, purpose, and divine action than random chance.

  • 2767 - #1201 - How "Purity Culture" Became a Heresy
