#31 UNDERSTANDING ORIGINS, LOVE, PURPOSE, & BEAUTY + Dr. Paul Gould

Why is it important to understand the origins for this life from a Biblical perspective—can't I just figure it out by living it myself? How does an ancient Bible tell me where I am headed in 2024? How do we know we can trust the Biblical truths educating us about where we are headed? Have these values changed compared to ancient Near East interpretations?
