I think Greg narrates the conversation far too much, and it slows things down. Narration and restating what we already heard is okay a few times but every single response is a repeat and it gets irritating after a while.
I think dichotomy is not the right term. Evolution is a pseudo science masquerading as real science.
I saw his interview at the end of David Wood's testimony video and was always waiting for the rest! I thought they were going to do a Part 2.
Fantastic interview! As a person who studies and loves apologetics, I always find it amazing that the simple, objective reading of Scripture is so powerful in drawing people to Christ. Often times no other argument is needed because of the power of God’s word. It stands on its own to someone who is sincere in their pursuit of truth.
