HT: Frank Turek and The Skeptical Christian. Both videos present a condensed version of Alvin Plantinga’s free will defense. The first adds a Christian spin to it while the second incorporates some material from C. S. Lewis. These videos, which are a great example of the new media approach to apologetics, are great for use in apologetics presentations because they introduce the audience to the topic while capturing their attention through vivid animations.

The first video took a lot fewer words to say more clearly what the second video was still trying to say when it ran out of time.
But I’m glad people are making these, the discussion threads on YouTube oughta be worth following for a few mins, I’d imagine. matthew
Neither of these deal with the problem of natural evil, or the fact that death and suffering must have existed before the fall.
I’d be fascinated to read how you two reconcile this with a traditional take on the fall. Steve
