Can Naturalists Explain Where Life Originated?

Jan 7, 2025 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

Some scientists have proposed an underground location for the origin of life where molecular formation would be protected from water and atmospheric interference. But the underground locations available in the early earth would have been incredibly hostile to the formation of bio-chemical precursors, proteins and RNA. Just as problematic would be imagining a scenario in which these primitive forms of life could then transition from their underground origin to their eventual homes above ground.
Why the Case for Christianity Is More Important Than Ever

Oct 24, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

I sometimes think this group of “nones” has rejected their experience in the Church rather than their belief in Jesus. That may simply be a reflection of the sad, non-evidential nature of the Church rather than a reflection of the strong evidential nature of Christianity. Some of those who have left our ranks may never have heard anything about the evidence supporting the Christian worldview in all the years they were attending church with us.

Why We Should Expect Witnesses to Disagree

Oct 10, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

I spent the first nine years of my career investigating crimes as a committed atheist. Even then, I would have approved the notion that witnesses who fail to agree on every detail, raise as many questions as they seem to answer and are inaccurate in some detail of the event, could still be trusted as reliable eyewitnesses. Even my old atheist criteria for eyewitnesses would have been sufficient to make the case for gospel reliability.
It’s Better to Be Respected Than Liked

Oct 7, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

While it may be easy to embrace the beliefs of others to gain approval, we know the courageous path requires us to point others to the truth, even when it’s inconvenient or unpopular. It’s time for the Church to take this second path. We’ve spent far too much time trying to become like the world in order to win its acceptance, rather than having the moral courage to make the case for what we believe.
Two Things Nearly Everyone Believes About the Universe

Sep 27, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

I hope God’s Crime Scene can help you answer this question by employing a number of very simple investigative tools detectives use every day. Criminal investigators recognize one important evidential truth: the identity of a suspect must account for all the evidence “in the room”.
Feel Free to Use A Commentary When Reading Your Bible

Sep 15, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

Without a commentary or study guide, most of our blog entries (and responses to blog entries) will be difficult to understand. Study guides and commentaries are not only reasonable resources, they are responsible resources. They help us understand the author’s context so we can understand the author’s meaning. The famous atheist magician Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller fame) once included the Bible in his list of favorite books.
The Extraordinary Nature of Murder and the Evidence for God

Sep 8, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

In my new book, God’s Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for A Divinely Created Universe, I take this very approach. It’s reasonable to build a case for an extraordinary claim (the existence of God) with rather “ordinary” circumstantial evidence (particularly when this cosmological, biological, mental and moral evidence is cumulative in nature). In the end, all of us make a case for something extraordinary and incomprehensible from very ordinary evidence.
What We Mean When We Say, “God Created Everything From Nothing”

Aug 26, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | J. Warner Wallace

Lawrence Krauss, Arizona State University Professor (School of Earth and Space Exploration and Director of the Origins Initiative) wrote a book entitled, ‘A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing’. As part of the promotion for the book, Krauss appeared on the Colbert Report where he was interviewed by comedian Stephen Colbert.
When It Comes to the Meaning of Life, the Question is Not “What”, But “Why”

Aug 9, 2024 | coldcasechristianity.com | J. Warner Wallace

I’ve written before about the importance of recognizing the role of the Creator in determining life’s purpose, but as a non-believer, I had little problem determining the purpose of my life. As a man who rejected God’s existence, I was comfortable assigning meaning to my life. What was the purpose of life? Well, for me, it was to live nobly and enforce the laws as a police officer, to be a faithful husband to my wife and a good father for my kids. I had no problem answering the “what” question.
