Answers for Ambassadors - December 13, 2016 20:42 - 29 minutesIf there is no God, why is almost everyone religious?

Answers for Ambassadors - December 06, 2016 20:28 - 34 minutesDoes the appearance of design mean there must be a universal Designer?

URC Learning: Sinners & Saints - February 13, 2007 05:21 ★★★★★ - 3 ratings(38:31) Dawkins’ worldview lacks foundation for his outlandish claim that instructing children in the Christian faith is worse than sexually molesting them.
