In this podcast, J. Warner responds to a message from a listener related to doubt and agnosticism. How do we know when we have enough evidence to believe Christianity is true? Does unanswered prayer negate the existence of God? How much do our expectations and presuppositions cripple our confidence in the evidence for Christianity?

I too came to Christ in my late thirties. With a life-long love of science, I suddenly had a great fear of new scientific discoveries that might pierce my fragile faith. It was a while before I realized that no such discoveries could be made because the of the limited reach of science (it being limited to examine only the created, material world). When engaging a skeptic, I try to make the point that if you think you can rely on science, you need to dig deeper into its explanations. What it really describes is a material world that is completely open to God’s providence. Dig deep enough into the fundamental reality of the material creation and one can see that water into wine is easy for a creator who not only made the world but retained control of it.
