WHY I BELIEVE IN GOD (Series: Following Truth, Episode 1)

Episode 1: Why I Believe in God

Why is there something rather than nothing at all? That is the question this episode will not let you set down.

In the opening instalment of Following Truth, a four part journey from reality to ekklesia, Roland Albertus takes on the most basic question a thinking person can ask, and follows it wherever it honestly leads. Starting from the plain fact that the universe exists at all, the episode works through contingency, cosmic fine tuning, the weight of moral obligation, and the strange arrival of consciousness in a world of matter. Along the way it tests atheism, materialism, naturalism, pantheism, polytheism, and deism, eliminating each by following it to where it actually goes, never by mocking it.

This episode does not argue for Christianity. It argues for something narrower and no less significant: that reality is only intelligible if a necessary, personal, and morally perfect being stands behind it. What follows from that conclusion is the question the rest of the series was built to answer.

Because the truth matters. And so do you.
