The title of Dr. Paul de Vries’ recent article – “The Best Christians are Doubting Christians” Part 1 and Part 2) – initially struck me like lemon juice in the eye. Judging by the comments the article generated, I wasn’t alone in my first impression of the writing.

Leibniz is well known for his mathematical discoveries, but he’s also recognized as the person who popularized what many say is the single most important question ever asked: Why do we have something rather than nothing

Why Isn't Everyone A Christian?
