Richard Dawkins, the famous evolutionary biologist, author and avid atheist, once said, “Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.” Is that true? Does Christianity call us to scorn or reject reason and evidence in an effort to have a faith that pleases God?
J. Warner Wallace is a cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker and best-selling author. He continues to consult on cold-case investigations while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. He is also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola University and a faculty member at Summit Ministries. J. Warner was a conscientious and vocal atheist until the age of thirty-five, when he took a serious and expansive look at the evidence for the Christian Worldview and determined that Christianity was demonstrably true.
J. Warner Wallace has spent years demonstrating the relationship between faith, reason and evidence. Relying on over two decades of investigative experience, he provides his readers and audiences with the tools they will need to investigate the claims of Christianity and make a convincing case for the truth of the Christian worldview. Join J. Warner Wallace as he presents some of the evidence that demonstrates the truth of Christianity, because the Christian faith IS grounded in reason and evidence.

On August 16th Mike Adams will give a talk called "The New Campus Free Speech Movement" - His lecture will discuss how North Carolina has become the epicenter of the student rights movement - with virtually little involvement on behalf of the students affected. Instead, the new free speech wars have been waged between progressive/leftist college administrators and conservative/libertarian influences in the state legislature.
