The Animal Suffering Argument Christians Need to Face

About this episode

Nate Sala responds to the animal suffering argument against Christianity, exploring biblical insights and the hope found in Christ.

Alex O’Connor pressed William Lane Craig with one of the hardest objections to Christianity: animal suffering. If God is good, why is creation filled with predation, pain, disease, and death? In this video, I respond to the argument, examine where it overreaches, and show how Romans 8, Isaiah 11, and the hope of Christ give Christians a deeper answer.
