Questions:

• How do you reconcile a good God with animal death before the Fall?
• If Paul never even met Jesus, then why should we care about his opinion of homosexuality?
• In the parable of the prodigal son, the prodigal got forgiveness without any atoning death – so why did Jesus have to die an atoning death?
• If Herod could believe that John the Baptist rose from the dead without evidence, couldn’t the other disciples have believed in Jesus’ resurrection without evidence?
• If Jesus is God, then was God dead for 3 days in the grave?
• Was it justified when God commanded the Israelites to conquer Canaan?
• How can you reconcile the failure of Christians to live according to what they proclaim, especially when God is supposedly santifying them?
• If a person already has a happy life they like, then why should they give that up to believe in Christianity?
• Re: cosmological argument, did the physical laws come into being? Doesn’t quantum mechanics show that things can come into being out of nothing without a cause?
• If Jesus’ resurrection body is physical, then does that mean that Heaven is a physical place?
• Should people spend time thinking about ultimate questions? What if they don’t feel that ultimate questions are important?

These challenges from Australians are not the same as the ones I hear in North America, so it’s good to hear how Dr. Craig responds to these questions.
