I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist presentation | Q&A - (2hr 52min)

Dr. Frank Turek’s talk at Fresno State argues that Christianity is rational and evidence-based, built on four key questions: Does truth exist? Does God exist? Are miracles possible? Is the New Testament true? He uses philosophical reasoning, scientific evidence like the fine-tuning of the universe, and moral arguments to support the existence of God, culminating in the claim that Jesus’ resurrection is historically credible and the ultimate solution to human sin. Turek presents Christianity not as blind faith, but as a worldview grounded in truth and reason

Bible Errors? (7min)

Dr. Frank Turek responds to a question about errors in New Testament manuscripts by explaining that while scribes did make mistakes, scholars can reconstruct the original text by comparing thousands of copies. He also notes that no essential Christian doctrine is affected by these variants, a point even skeptic Bart Ehrman agrees with in academic work.

If God Knows Everything, How Did Moses Change God's Mind? (3min)

Dr. Turek answers a question about whether Moses actually changed God’s mind by explaining that Scripture often uses observational language (like saying the sun rises) even though we know it doesn’t literally. As highlighted in the video, God’s nature doesn’t shift, it’s our position that changes, much like riding with or against the wind. It was His plan all along!

Dr. Frank Turek and Dr. Rice Broocks explain that “generational curses” are better understood as natural consequences of human choices, not mystical punishments.
