Unbelievable ? - Bill Dembski & Norman Hansen on Natural Evil

2010-01-09T00:00:00+00:00

William (Bill) Dembski is an American mathematician, theologian and professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, TX.

Bill returns to defend his latest Book “The End of Christianity” -an argument defending the Christian God against the argument of Evil.

How can natural evil and death that have existed for millions of years on an Old Earth view be reconciled to the view that the Fall brought these things into God’s good world? Why does God answer some prayers and not others? Does free will exist?

Just some of the questions tackled by Bill as he engages with Former Christian Norman Hansen.
