It's all here ladies and gentlemen. These are the great minds of western society: John Lennox, Ravi Zacharias, Dennis Prager, Ken Ham, Stephen Meyer, on and on the list goes. Watching these presentations has greatly expanded my understanding of the universe and the world around me. Please enjoy these presentations, which address the controversial issues of our day and age.
How are we to understand the developments of the last century? How are we to understand life, existence, science, history, and ontology? I often look to the great minds of our generation to learn about the most difficult issues that face our generation.
Let's face down the heated issues front and center. We're not going to politically correct answers, we're instead going to skip past "what everyone wants to hear" and go after the truth. These are the most controversial issues imaginable. We'll look at gay marriage, the theory of evolution, intelligent design theory, liberalism in the college sphere, liberty and constitutional rights, young earth science, the philosophy of tolerance, the academic establishment, and Christians value in relation to the United States government.
Have we failed to address any divisive issue? I don't think so! But these issues are vital for our day and age. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Often only one side of the debate is heard. The mainstream media and it's corrupt influence often leave us ignorant of certain primary facts in these heated debates. Enjoy, keep an open mind, and consider these issues in light of history and the possibility of a God who is in fact there.

Turek takes on perhaps the most controversial issue today in the United States: Should gay marriage be legalized? This is a very difficult issue in the country today.

6. What is Intelligent Design? | Stephen Meyer
The intelligent design movement has faced a barrage of attacks from the Darwinian academic establishment.

Divide and conquer, predictable tactic.

9. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed | Ben Stein
This is a documentary every American should see. It explains how the Darwinian academic establishment has waged a war on Intelligent Design, and fights to keep any mention of the possibility of God from scientific circles. This was a very eye opening documentary for me. Please watch and share!
10. Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph | Dennis Prager at Colorado Christian University
Dennis Prager is a Jewish radio host with an excellent understanding of Christian values and how they impact government. I don't necessarily agree with Prager on everything, like his firm support for establishment candidates like Mitt Romney. But Prager is a knowledgeable speaker with a lot of good points to make. Please give him a fair hearing.
