Customer Reviews
Pretty Interesting
As a quasi-religious person who accepts that science and religion can coexist, I feel sorry for the bitter atheists who pan this podcast because it attempts to address this relationship. If you are interested in the science/religion relationship and are not a millitant atheist or a young Earth creationist, you will find much to like here. If you are either of those, you will likely listen to five minutes and give a 1 star review...
What I've been looking for
I am not a student of critical thinking, but I love C.S. Lewis, I love Christ, and I want to learn how to explain my faith better. Kenneth Samples is AWESOME, and he is teaching me how to refrain from my tendency to always want to debate, to avoid ad hominems and straw-man theories, and how to stick to the main issue being discussed. Straight Thinking is what I have been looking for in a podcast. PLEASE, Kenneth, don't stop. I have been through every podcast, and I love them all, love your moderator, too (Joe). FYI, the minute I have the funds, I'll be buying Without a Doubt, but in the meantime, keep going. Between the Science News Flash (way over my head, but I love it) and your podcast, I feel like I am spending my time wisely by listening to you. Reasons.org is amazing, will keep recommending it. Love the new website as well.
Great Podcast
This podcast is designed for Christians and those interested in the defense of the Christian faith. In response to those who have been offended by the "dishonesty" of the title, it is clear from sources of this podcast that the podcast subscribes to a Christian worldview. The very beginning of the podcast explicitly states that it's produced by a Christian think-tank trying to integrate modern scientific thought and discovery with biblical truths. There is no dishonesty here, simply people proclaiming and defending their worldview, just like anyone else would do. Check it out if you want to hear reasoned arguments in defense of the classic Christian faith!
