Sorry to keep to this topic, folks, but this is the lecture I saw at Stanford, which is slightly different in format than the one at Berkeley, and I like it a little better. For those of you with the time/attention span to watch both, I applaud you, but if left to only one, I'd encourage you to watch this one.
I had the privilege this week of seeing the brilliant Dr. Tim Keller give a lecture on the topic of his newly-published book, "The Reason for God". He is perhaps the single most influential, intelligent, and entertaining Christian apologetic of our time, and it was a huge privilege to see and hear him Wednesday night at Stanford. This video is the same talk given a night earlier at UC Berkeley. The Stanford video hasn't been posted yet, but I'm so anxious to get this out there that I'm linking this one instead. I'd encourage anyone and everyone (including any friends of mine whose names begin with a "C" and end with a "hris Knight" :P) to watch it (including the great Q&A that follows) and share what you think! Personally, I think these are some of the best arguments for God (and Christianity, if you want to take it a step further) I've ever heard.
I'm a student at the University of Oregon and interested in too many things to pick a major. I play viola and dabble in video games and electronics in general. People who know me consider me a friend, or free technical support, or both.
"Jesus was the only One that ever raised the dead...and He shouldn't have done it. He thrown everything off balance. If He did what He said,
then it's nothing for you to do but throw away everything and follow Him, and if He didn't, then it's nothing
for you to do but enjoy the few minutes you got left the best way you can—by killing somebody or burning down his house or
doing some other meanness to him."
