Josh McDowell handles the supposed contradictions as well as anyone I've known or read.

In any complexity as complex as our observed universe . . . . paradoxes are likely to abound.

Truth includes mystery and paradox. Even Christians will learn to deal with it when God makes things more abundantly clear.

I suspect that at least some Deists will discover that they know even less than some Christians who think they know everything.

He hasn't satisfied a single one. A good example is his reference to Josephus: "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man.... He was the Christ, and when Pilate condemned him to the cross...he appeared to them alive again the third day"...Josephus didn't write that.

There are so many inaccuracies in his books that I couldn't even begin to list them on this thread. If you'd like to cite something of his, please do so and we'll look at them one by one.

That's what makes it all so interesting!

Of course they will, we're all on the same quest to learn God's nature.

You may be right!
But we aren't afraid to admit; "I don't know". That's why we study Christianity more than most Christians.
