It's not my fault! We often hear that excuse from someone who has made a mistake. On this journey, Dr. G explores the many ways we try avoiding taking responsibility for our actions.

Journey #125 - Science, Doubting Thomas & Childlike Faith

There are many people, including Christians, who claim that the purest, most powerful kind of faith is "blind faith" -- faith that doesn't have or need any extra-Biblical supporting evidence. On this journey, Dr. G explores the validity of that claim by looking at what the Bible -- above all, at what Jesus (God) himself -- says about the most powerful, ideal kind of faith ... and whether science enhances or detracts from it.
