“Do you know if he examined historical evidence for Hindu texts? If not, do you know why he specifically selected just one religion?”

Strobel, in his book “The Case for Christ” doesn’t go into Hinduism or the historical validity thereof. Though if I remember correctly he did do some truth-seeking that led him from atheism to agnosticism and then, finally, to biblical Christianity.

What he did do, was to approach the subject objectively as he could. He basically accumulated what he thought were, the most challenging refuting arguments he could muster, and then he went across the country interviewing different scholars to get their respective answers to them.

And he wound up as a Christian believer.

The only reason I brought it up was to illustrate that faith isn’t necessarily opposed to reason or logic.

Indeed, if it did, it would truly be blind faith.

Me: Good for him. And I can throw Dan Barker at you who did the exact same thing from inside fundamental christianity and turned out a vocal atheist. Tit for tat.
