Along the way, you’ll not only discover why arguments for atheism fail, but you’ll see why arguments for Christianity succeed. Here are some of the questions you’ll get succinct and memorable answers to:

  • What do we mean by “God”?

  • Don’t atheists merely “lack a belief” in God?

  • Who made God?

  • Who or what best explains the laws of nature?

  • How do we know that the mind and the brain are not the same?

  • How do atheists exempt themselves from their own theories?

  • What is the fatal flaw in macroevolutionary theory?

  • How is Darwinism a “science stopper”?

  • What argument for God from Aristotle still holds true today?

  • Why would God be necessary even if the universe was eternal?

“Stealing from God has taken my apologetics training to the next level, after studying apologetics in college I came across the stealing from God apologetics course, and decided to take it. It was one of the best decisions I've made, I've learned how to better my philosophical approach to atheists and their world views, and how to base all science in an apologetical philosophical foundation; the difference between the brain and the mind and how all things have intentionality, as they are all part of a sustained creative design!”

“If you are looking for a structured step-by-step walk through of the Christian faith and how it makes sense in the real world, you have come to the right place. Have you ever thought to yourself, "You know, I need to practice sharing the gospel or explaining why God exists." I, too, had similar aspirations-- and this course brought me in and, in a structured and challenging manner, trained me to not just know the stuff, but respond to people on these crucial issues. It is one thing to digest information and think, "Yes! This makes sense!" It is another level of learning to be able to reproduce that information when someone questions you about the topic. This course is rich in information, presented with clarity and humor (what do you expect? It's Dr. Frank Turek!), but it also challenges you in multiple ways to articulate the truths you have learned. Highly recommended for any disciple of Christ at any stage of their walk. This is a five-star course without question.”

“I wasn't sure what I would think of the class but I enjoyed learning the concepts taught in this course. I liked how it helps you briefly think thru an argument and to challenge most because they are self defeating. We're also encouraged to take time to hear the person we're talking to rather than always seeking to have an answer (that's right we're encouraged to be Christians...o my) Thanks to everyone involved for putting their time and effort into this course!”

“As having recently completed the "Why I STILL Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist", this SFG course was a wonderful way to fortify/review/enhance my knowledge and faith in Christianity. Content is amazing. So are both the Course Mentor (Tricia Scribner) and the ReasonU support person (Alicia Coyle). Discussions were lively and I was impressed it was conducted in an encouraging way, yet guiding us to thoughts and ideas as to why we believe. But more importantly, it's another tool in helping each of us defend our faith while also sharing the loving Gospel of our Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. Could not recommend it highly enough!”
