It looks like you haven’t attracted much interest here. This is hardly surprising. I’ve watched a lot of John Lennox being a fellow country man and that and it is clear that his arguments for the existence of the Christian God lack credibility. Indeed some have gone as far as to say they are bogus. If you don’t agree then I’d invite you to take one of his arguments and run with it here and see how far you get with debating it publicly. I suspect not very far. Which brings me to why you posted this. I suspect you’re simply doing what many believers do here i.e. relying on arguments made by others to support your belief in God because you are unable to formulate your own convincing arguments. I’m afraid this is the inevitable downside to forming your beliefs based on what other people have told you rather than thinking things out for yourself. Religious conditioning can only take you so far. It will tell you what it is you believe but it won’t help you to provide explanations or convincing arguments. That’s because there aren’t any. That’s also why scripture quoting and YouTube videos are so heavily relied upon by believers here. Matt10

John Lennox is a Christian apologist.
So, isn't John Lennox just doing what Christian apologists do?
Christian apologetics is a branch of Christian theology that defends Christianity against objections.
If Christianity is true, why should it have to be "defended?"

If Christianity is true, why should it have to be "defended?"the bible has said to be ready to answer any questions that might come our way. if one doesn't want that then one should stop asking questions and go on ones merry way...

As an amusing side, I most often hear about the bible's lack of scripture on a topic when the person wishing to cast stones is vaguely aware that they might be guilty of it too.
