A rational, side-by-side comparison of the Christian and postmodernist worldviews. Dave Armstrong takes on the problem of evil, the “problem of good” and meaningfulness in atheism, miracles, the relationship of Christianity to science, atheist unproven axioms — and the cosmological and teleological arguments for God’s existence.
