Ambassador Training 5: Evil as Evidence for God

Video
Men’s Alliance

When people ask why a good God would allow evil, chances are they've never stopped to consider how they know the difference between good and evil. If there is an objective, universal standard of good and evil that every human knows in their heart, then where did that "moral law" come from? Answer: it came from a Moral Law Giver. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ambassador Training 4: DNA as Evidence for God

Video
Men’s Alliance

Bill Gates said, “DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.” In each cell in your body there is a word that is 6.4 billion letters long. It's called your DNA, and it's more advanced than any computer software ever created.  So, who wrote that DNA software that makes you uniquely you? If you believe that even a simple cave painting had a designer, then you must admit that the most advanced software ever created must certainly have a designer too. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
