Balancing Life and Engaging Conversations

Greg talks to callers about online interactions, entropy as evidence for a beginning of the universe, whether someone could make up a story that sounds like eyewitness testimony, creating interactions that aren’t awkward, and the claim that the unborn is only a ”potential life.”   Topics:

1. Considering Jesus said, “Do not give what is holy to dogs,” should I not engage people online over and over again? (00:00)
2. A follow-up on a previous conversation about dealing with a problematic pastor. (12:00)
3. How could entropy be evidence for the beginning of the universe if the first law of thermodynamics says energy can’t be destroyed? (20:00)
4. How would you respond to someone who says anybody could make up a detailed story that sounds like eyewitness testimony? (26:00)
5. Would you ever do campus evangelism, and how do you create interactions that don’t make people feel awkward? (42:00)
6. What’s a powerful question to ask someone who insists an unborn baby is only a “potential life”? (49:00)
