When the Bible doesn't fit the evidence, he sides with the evidence.

“I am all for evidence based faith, but Mr. James Warner Wallace has a fallacious and almost idolatrous bias towards "evidence." After reading from his blog and listening to him for some time, it has become patently obvious to me that whenever he cannot explain certain biblical passages that stand in diametrical opposition to mainstream science, he will not double down in favor of the biblical claim. Instead, he will erect foolish straw man arguments against the biblical passages to demonstrate why they do not really mean what they say, in order to make himself look "reasonable" as he painfully forces the biblical claim to line up with the current scientific consensus. And when the biblical passages prove too difficult for Mr Wallace to force into his evidential paradigm, he will pull out a bunch of legalistic loopholes (entirely out of thin air) that allow him to interpret the passages as being completely silent on the matter; anything to keep himself away from having to directly challenge the mainstream interpretation of the historical and empirical facts. This has lead me to conclude that the Cold Case Christianity podcast is more so an apologetic of popular scientific interpretation and it's unquestionable authority, rather than of Christianity and the authority of the Bible, since Wallace will not so much as dare to question any of the explanations offered by today's scientific community! However, Wallace does feel perfectly qualified and comfortable contorting, distorting, reinterpreting, and putting the Bible through a nauseating kaleidoscope diverse and mailable interpretations. All in all, I can not see how any thinking Christian who believes in the ultimate authority of Scripture would not find his apologetic lacking. I therefore cannot recommend it, and even caution against it.

“Good theology, interesting perspective, but it's getting more and more necessary in each episode to skip the first five minutes of irrelevant introduction.”Read full review »
