October 16, 2015 Revisiting the resurrection - Ed Atkinson vs Tony Costa
Ex-Christian Ed Atkinson has been investigating the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus following the "Summer of Scripture" debate between James Crossley and Gary Habermas.

October 09, 2015 Who invented the universe? Alister McGrath & Jim Al-Khalili
Theologian Alister McGrath's new book 'Inventing The Universe' weaves his own story of conversion from atheism to Christianity while studying science as a student, into the questions that modern science continues to provoke around God, atheism and meaning.
Physicist and radio presenter Jim Al-Khalili is the president of the British Humanist Association. Jim interacts with Alister on whether science excludes God, whether theism makes most sense of the nature of our universe and what it would take for him to abandon his atheism and believe.

October 02, 2015 Do Mormons believe in Grace? Bill McKeever & James Holt
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormonism) differs from mainstream Christianity in various ways. Some Christians, including Bill McKeever of Mormonism Research Ministry, say that LDS believers have an unbiblical view of Grace - the free gift of forgiveness by Christ.
James Holt, a UK Mormon involved in academic research with the LDS Church, responds to Bill on questions such as whether verses in the Book of Mormon requires believers to do 'works' for salvation and Bill's challenge that the Mormons he meets don't have assurance of salvation.

September 25, 2015 Homo Naledi and the Adam & Eve debate
Homo Naledi is one of the most significant hominin (human ancestor) fossil discoveries in history. But what are the implication of these hominid species in the evolutionary record for creation, and Adam and Eve?
Fuz Rana of Reasons To Believe explains why, as an old Earth Creationist, he believes these species, amazing as they are, were not evolutionary precursors of humans. James Kidder of Biologos is a Theistic Evolutionist. He explains why he believes Homo Naledi and other early hominids are part the evolutionary process God has used to bring about humans.
