Or is faith just a blind leap? In this video, Doy Moyer, a preacher and former professor, explains why he believes in God &#8211; and why he is convinced that belief is not irrational or anti-intellectual. If you&#8217;ve ever wondered whether the existence of God can be defended logically, this conversation explores five major arguments that challenge common assumptions about atheism and materialism. We cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can something come from nothing?<\/li>\n<li>Is consciousness explainable by mindless matter?<\/li>\n<li>Does objective morality require a moral source?<\/li>\n<li>Are naturalistic explanations sufficient?<\/li>\n<li>What historical evidence supports the resurrection of Jesus?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many people assume faith and reason are opposed. But what if belief in God is actually the more coherent explanation for reality? Whether you&#8217;re agnostic, skeptical, questioning, or a believer wanting to think more deeply, this video explores the rational case for God&#8217;s existence &#8211; from philosophy, morality, consciousness, and history.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why I Believe in God (It\u2019s Not Blind Faith)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3MxIcrjKqqk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Doy Moyer via InLight Media Is belief in God actually rational?
