“Why I Am/Am Not A Christian”
A few months back, my student group joined Ratio Christi’s UT-Arlington director Ken Bankston for a dialogue with philosopher Kenneth Williford on the topic “Why I Am/Am Not A Christian”.

Luke Barnes on God and Fine-Tuning
LONG TIME, NO POST! Been quite swamped with school for almost a year now, but think it appropriate to at least share the videos of the events that my student group Faith and Answers (with the help of Ratio Christi) has held in the past year at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Here is our last event, Dr. Luke Barnes with an awesome treatment of the fine-tuning argument for God’s existence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQrd2tBfxqI&t=6281s
