Make a donation to Closer To Truth to help us continue exploring the world's deepest questions without the need for paywalls.

I must also consider defeaters of God. Featuring interviews with Rebecca Goldstein, Ian Barbour, John Polkinghorne, Robin Collins, Anthony Grayling, Yujin Nagasawa, and Alvin Plantinga.
