Two Christians who enjoy reading and discussing Christian apologetics and philosophy do the heavy lifting for you. Each episode is a discussion on a book on apologetics, philosophy, theology, or similar subject. They discuss and break down the subject material in an easy-to-understand way and in bite-size pieces. You may have wanted to read or had some interest in those neat books you've collected on your shelf, but were too intimated by the material or maybe you just forgot you had them. Join Patrick and Tony in your own personal book club as they discuss it chapter-by-chapter.

Why God Of The Gaps Is A Bad Objection
While finishing our discussion on why methodological naturalism should be rejected, we deal with another bad objection to Christians having a place in the science world. The charge of believing in a "God of the gaps" is levied at Christians to scoff at their history in science. We take a look at it and offer up "nuh huh" and "you do it too"!
