Back to School: Preparing Your Kids to Answer Tough Questions

About this sermon

Dr. William Lane Craig answers the 10 toughest faith questions students face at school — evolution, evil, the resurrection, and more. As students head back to school, Dr. William Lane Craig walks through ten of the most common questions young people run into in science and philosophy classes — and in dorm-room and lunchroom conversations. Does evolution disprove the Bible? Why would a good God allow evil? If the Bible has an error, is Christianity false? How can God hold us responsible if He already knows what we'll do? Can we trust that Jesus really rose from the dead when the Gospels were written decades later? Dr. Craig answers each question with the same careful reasoning he brings to his formal debates, then closes with practical advice for parents preparing their kids intellectually and spiritually for the school year. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction: when do kids start asking these questions? 2:02 Q1: Does evolution show that the Bible is false? 5:36 Q2: If God exists, why is there evil? 6:48 Q3: If the Bible has a mistake, is Christianity false? 9:22 Q4: How can God blame us for sin if He already knows what we'll do? 11:59 Q5: The Gospels were written decades later — can we trust the resurrection? 16:04 Q6: If Christianity is true, why are there so many religions? 18:50 Q7: Genesis says six days, science says billions of years — who's right? 20:22 Q8: Isn't faith just believing without evidence? 21:09 Q9: Where did God come from? 22:19 Q10: Can science provide evidence that God exists? 25:43 Closing: advice for parents preparing their kids for the school year 📚 Key Links: 📖 On Guard for Students: A Thinker's Guide to Defending Your Faith — https://a.co/d/09j1bzVN 📖 The Attributes of God for Children (10 Books): Vol 1, God Is Spirit — https://a.co/d/0hIDoDdW 📖 A Reasonable Response: Answers to Tough Questions on God, Christianity, and the Bible — https://a.co/d/00mwqHSa 🎥 More from Reasonable Faith: https://www.youtube.com/@ReasonableFaithOrg 🎬 Short clips: https://www.youtube.com/drcraigvideos 🎙️ Reasonable Faith Podcast: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/podcasts/reasonable-faith-podcast/ 🌐 Main site: https://www.reasonablefaith.org 💬 Forums: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/forums/ ❤️ Support this ministry: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/donation Subscribe for weekly videos on faith and reason, and support this ministry: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/donation Reasonable Faith is a ministry that features the work of philosopher and theologian Dr. William Lane Craig in order to carry out its three-fold mission: 1) to provide an articulate, intelligent voice for biblical Christianity in the public arena; 2) to challenge unbelievers with the truth of biblical Christianity; 3) to train Christians to state and defend Christian truth claims with greater effectiveness.
