A 28-minute lecture delivered at Biola University.

Topics:

• Christianity is different from other religions for several reasons
• Christianity is testable using objective evidence
• you can offer objective evidence for and against it
• compare that to Zen Buddhism, for example, which is about subjective experiences
• Buddhism is subjective, you can’t test it objectively
• Christianity can be tested using the historical method
• if Jesus did not rise from the dead, Christianity is false
• Christianity is set up for inquiry
• You can know whether the resurrection happened using historical methods
• “faith” in Christianity is not belief without arguments and evidence
• the Bible presents it’s claims about God as testable and public

This was very fun to watch.
