Greg Koukl answers questions about the limitations of using thermodynamics against evolution, strategies for engaging progressive Christians, clarifying “creation from nothing,” and defending the historical resurrection of Jesus. He demonstrates why complex biological systems present stronger challenges to evolutionary theory than the second law of thermodynamics, provides questioning techniques for conversations with progressive Christians, explains biblical creation language in both theological and scientific contexts, and systematically dismantles alternative theories about Christ’s resurrection.
