Episode notes
Christianity As A Coherent Plot
- Christianity is a coherent narrative with a logical plot: God, man, Jesus, cross, resurrection.
- Understanding that plot clarifies why Jesus being the only way and the problem of evil make sense together.
Telling A Child The Story Is True
- Greg told his young daughter that Narnia is fiction but the Christian story is a true story starting, 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.'
- He uses the word 'story' for winsomeness while insisting the biblical account is historical.
Materialism Lacks Explanatory Power
- The atheist/materialist story (molecules-in-motion) lacks explanatory power for key features like objective morality and consciousness.
- Greg argues Christianity better explains these features and the appearance of design in the universe.
