Ep. 1 - Faith Doesn't Have to be Blind - Harvard Student Goes From Atheist to Christian

12/15/21 • 10 min

Michael Shermer alleges that the arguments and evidence for Christianity only convince those that already believe. But this is not true. Many people have examined the evidence and decided to put their faith in Jesus. One example of this is Jordan Monge who started her studies at Harvard University as a committed atheist. While studying there she realized that the case for Christianity was a lot better than what she previously thought and so she decided to put her faith in Jesus.

Ep. 2 - Faith Doesn't Have to be Blind - Atheist Philosopher Changes his Mind

Michael Shermer alleges that the arguments and evidence for Christianity only convinces those that already believe. But this is not true. Many people have examined the evidence and changed their minds. Sometimes they go all the way and become a follower of Jesus, and sometimes they just take steps in that direction. One example of this is the late Antony Flew. Flew was a professional philosopher and committed atheist who became known as a spokesperson for atheism. However, toward the end of his life, he began to have doubts and he eventually concluded that some type of divine being existed.
