.......... What stuck with me the most from Richard Dawkins was that he defined “faith” as believing something without evidence or in the face of evidence. He would always be saying you need to base your beliefs on things that have good evidence, a good reason for them. So of course I completely agreed with that. Looking through YouTube, that was when I stumbled across William Lane Craig and his debates and his talks. That was very different. Something struck me about that as being very unusual because here was a Christian academic who was actually talking very precisely, very logical, and making his case from the ground up, appealing to the very reason and evidence that Dawkins was telling me I had to take seriously and look for. I ended up needing to take a look at myself and actually realized there actually is good evidence for Christianity. So why haven’t you become one yet? I was trying to hold out in living a certain way. I was running away from it, and that was silly, frankly. It was very silly to keep running away. It is not about following a load of religious rules or anything like that. It is actually about coming back to the relationship with God that we were supposed to have in the way that a child who has run away from home can be reconciled with her parents, for example. Really that was the realization. Just come home to it. Stop running away. It is silly, and you’ve no good reason to run away, and you’ve every good reason to come back. ......... I was just realizing, “This stuff the New Atheism is bringing out just isn’t holding water. Loads of it is based on emotion and rhetoric.” I just had to face that. To draw it to a close, I spent several years investigating Christian apologetics and seeing how the atheists’ arguments – they just weren’t working. I couldn’t use any good arguments against Christianity myself. It made me realize that I’ve run out of arguments and objections. There is really good solid stuff here. So I just had to face up to the fact that all I was left with was the not wanting it to be true. ............ https://jamesbishopblog.com/2016/02/28/byrom-on-dawkins-failure-how-william-craig-brought-him-to-christ/
