I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

What would you expect to find at the REAL Mount Sinai? Could its true location be in Saudi Arabia rather than the traditional site in the Sinai Peninsula? In this podcast episode, Frank unpacks some of the details of his recent trip to Saudi Arabia, including what he and the group saw as they climbed the mountain at Jabal al-Lawz. He'll also discuss what fascinating markers distinguish this mountain as a great contender for Mount Sinai and why it's more important than ever for trained archaeologists to continue exploring the site. During the episode, Frank will answer questions like:Why was the Sinai Peninsula originally selected as Mount Sinai?How long did it take Frank and the group to get up the mountain?Why have there been so few excavations at Jabal al-Lawz?Who is Hathor and what's a possible explanation for all the cow drawings found on the mountain?What evidence exists suggesting that Jabal al-Lawz is the true Mount Sinai?What were Frank and the group AMAZED to see once they reached the top of Jabal al-Lawz?What's so special about the Split Rock of Horeb? And how many people were involved in the Exodus?While it's still too early to make a concrete conclusion on Jabal al-Lawz, the circumstantial evidence discussed in the podcast episode may cause you to seriously consider it to be the REAL Mount Sinai!Resources mentioned during the episode:Living Passages Unveils the True Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia: http://youtu.be/JBaY--L5NPY Frank Visits the Merneptah Stele in Egypt: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gy-RanSnzik Preaching the Good News at the Giza Pyramids: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Cf4JjuRFA0Q Moses and the Split Rock of Horeb: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HLgzLDXFCB8 Was the Golden Calf HERE? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h5yAwssDU5Y

Does the scientific evidence fall short of proving the fine-tuning of the universe? Should Christians regularly "feel God's presence"? And since there are minor differences in the Gospels, does that disprove biblical inerrancy? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank tackles three more BIG questions from our listening audience along with question like:What are the 3 levels of fine-tuning and does it only occur here on planet Earth?Can the fine-tuning argument alone actually prove Christianity is true? And can all truth be explained through science?Where exactly are Heaven and Hell?What's the true meaning of Christmas?Is loving God an emotion, a feeling, or a decision?If God chooses not to reveal Himself to us is that proof that He doesn't exist?What's a great question to ask your skeptic friends?Have a question you’d like Frank to address in a future episode?

Why is the fine-tuning argument so extraordinary, and how have recent scientific discoveries made it even clearer that the universe points to a divine Creator?This week, Dr. Jay Richards joins Frank to discuss the 20th anniversary edition of 'The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed for Discovery', the groundbreaking book he co-authored with Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez. Together, they explore the updated book and the remarkable new scientific discoveries that continue to affirm its hypothesis. During their conversation, they’ll address:How and why did Guillermo's career suffer when the book was first released in 2004?What updates have been made to the 20th anniversary edition?What is the likelihood that life exists on other planets?How is materialism a self-defeating worldview?What is the cosmological constant and what type of precision is required in order for a planet to be able to sustain life?How probable is a multiverse?What's so special about "perfect" solar eclipses?What are the most common atheist objections to fine-tuning and our privileged position in the Universe?If you're looking for a good stocking stuffer this Christmas, grab the 20th Anniversary Edition of 'The Privileged Planet', a book and documentary film that continues to stand the test of time and compels readers to acknowledge how the complexity and fine-tuning of the universe couldn't possibly be the result of a cosmic accident.Resources mentioned during the episode:The Privileged Planet Website: https://privilegedplanet.com/The Privileged Planet 20th Anniversary Book: https://www.discovery.org/b/privileged-planet/The Privileged Planet Video on Demand: https://go2rpi.com/privileged-planet-vod/Follow Dr. Jay Richards on X: https://x.com/DrJayRichards
