Tell me if I’m wrong, but in this whole Kavanaugh fiasco, does anyone really want to know what happened? Does anybody really want to know the truth?

This is a nation of second chances.
That’s what one commentator said as Tiger Woods was about to win the PGA Tour Championship this past weekend. The image of him walking up the course with a crowd of people following and cheering him on as he wrapped up his first victory in four years—his first victory since his sex-addiction scandal broke—was a powerful testament to the fact that this is indeed a land of second chances.

Over the last century or so, skeptical scholars have realized the futility of trying to deny the resurrection with naturalistic arguments—like Jesus never really died but was just in a coma and revived in the cool of the tomb. Trying to refute the empty tomb and appearances on the basis of the details contained in the Gospel accounts has hardly convinced anyone. So instead, they’ve questioned the accounts themselves, claiming that they are later legends that don’t reflect what really happened.

The entire premise of this website (and my life!) is that seeing is believing. That the evidence for Christian faith is so good, so overwhelming, that anyone who sincerely seeks the Truth, who is open-minded and takes the time to thoroughly examine it, will see and believe too.
But what about all those “sincere seekers” throughout the world who don’t see it this way? Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, most of whom believe what they believe because of where they’ve been born.
What about all those sincere seekers who are atheist or agnostic?
