Greg talks about a conversation he had with his cardiologist about intelligent design, then he answers questions about using Psalm 139 in a pro-life defense, why God sends people to Hell, whether it’s ever okay to lie, and what to say to a Catholic friend.

Commentary: Our complex bodies didn’t happen by accident. (00:00)

Is Psalm 139 really a good passage to use in a pro-life defense? (16:00)

What questions should I ask a friend who says he wouldn’t want to worship the God of the Bible because he’s cruel for sending people to Hell for not believing in him? (33:00)

Is there ever a circumstance where it’s okay to lie? (44:00)

What can I say to a Catholic friend who says Jesus isn’t the only one who can intercede for us and who is more concerned about being faithful to Catholicism than reading the Bible to see what God says there? (51:00)
