Many of the disagreements that have arisen in the course of this Cross Examination series have come up either due to a lack of definition, or because of a difference in definition. For example, the difference between “absolute omnipotence” and “essential omnipotence” led some to make the statement that “God cannot be both omnipotent and omniscient,” a claim which I wrote about in a previous post.

Science has a lot to contribute to our lives and our knowledge. It studies the way things are in our world–physical and natural–through observation and experimentation. Scientists have enhanced the world in which we live. But science has limitations. There are things that science cannot answer.

One of the most vexing and foundational questions that I’ve come across in my study of Christianity: “Is the Universe eternal?” The answer to that question has huge ramifications, both for science and for people that believe in a personal God.

Today, I’m launching my new series called “Cross Examination: Is Debunking Christianity Possible?” The purpose of this series is for the examination of my own faith. As I said before, in this series, I will delve into the questions about Christianity that both drive people from the church (as on ExChristian.net), and those questions that keep people from ever entering the church in the first place.
