    Aug 8 2025
    On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (08/08/25), Hank talks about a conversation he had with his daughter, who is attending college. While explaining that morality is not dependent on God, one of her liberal professors invoked the Euthyphro dilemma. Not knowing how to deal with this conundrum, she went to The Complete Bible Answer Book Collector’s Edition and was able to answer this objection. And in doing so, stressed the need for apologetics on college campuses.

    Hank also answers the following questions:

    Is the lake of fire different from hell, or are they the same thing? Timmy - Austin, TX (5:53)

    An atheist I am talking with says the Genesis account is flawed because light was created before the sun, moon, and stars. Is there an answer for this? Phil - Columbia, MO (22:01)
