Just a note: this is a short video; one of the one minute apologist videos. Certainly not extensive, and doesn’t make the case for the Christian history. But does fit into the discussion on evidence. Which is why I posted it.
J. Wallace is a retired cold case detective, formally aggressive atheist who became a Christian because of the evidence.
I read Cold-Case Christianity a few years ago. Wallace is guilty of most of the same fallacious reasoning as any other apologist.
His being a detective adds nothing to his case.
If you want to hear a point by point demolishment of his book, watch this series -
Let me add, that this book does not even hold up to the 'quality' of books by McDowell, Craig, and Strobel. Which are also loaded with fallacious arguments.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
