Miracles: How Skeptical Should We Be? | Sean McDowell & Paul Rinzler

from The Veritas Forum

In today’s episode, an atheist and a Christian explore the plausibility of miracles. Do miracles actually happen? What kind of evidence supports them? And if they do occur, how should that shape the way we live today?   You’ll hear from Sean McDowell, a professor of apologetics at Biola, and Paul Rinzler, professor emeritus at Cal Poly. In this conversation moderated by Cal Poly professor Todd Long, they explore why miracles are so hard to believe and what’s ultimately at stake if miracles, like the Resurrection, are real.   This forum was held at Cal Poly in May 2025. Thank you to the student planning team for making this event possible. Find additional resources and quotes on the podcast episode page here.
