Researcher Jana Harmon shares how neuroscientist Dr Rich Suplita found his New Atheism wanting, prompting him to look for answers in Christianity
We are all susceptible to rationalising what we want to be true, even if it’s not.

Is morality just a product of evolution, emotion, or emergent complexity - or is it grounded in a transcendent God? In this powerful response to a recent Unbelievable? podcast debate, Erik Strandness critiques the contributions of Peter Singer, Alex O’Connor, Jessica Frazier, and Richard Swinburne, arguing that only a theistic framework can truly account for objective moral values.
